Dear John,

This year, Giving Tuesday has arrived at an incredibly urgent moment: With the
COVID-19 pandemic worsening and the global refugee crisis growing, refugees and
asylum seekers around the world have never needed our support more than now.

So, to help us meet the growing needs of displaced persons worldwide, the Hammer
Family has generously offered to match all gifts up to $21,000 in memory of
Jeanette and Dr. Alexander Hammer.

This is incredible news: It means all gifts up to $21,000 will go twice as far toward supporting
refugees and asylum seekers — but only if we take advantage of it.
John, our work is not possible without your support. That’s why
we’re counting on you today:

Will you make your first gift of $18 or more — any amount
you can spare helps — and DOUBLE your support for refugees and asylum seekers
before this match expires at midnight?

In one of the most challenging years in recent memory, HIAS has expanded our
work with refugees in 16 countries:

* We’ve offered legal support to asylum seekers stuck in dangerous and
unsanitary conditions across our southern border.
* We’ve provided emergency food, shelter, and cash-based assistance to refugees
and asylum seekers who are unemployed and/or without housing or food because
of the pandemic.
* We’ve supported refugees and asylum seekers remotely, disseminating critical
information about the virus and access to medical care, and providing
one-on-one counseling for refugees facing domestic violence and mental health
struggles.

Our work fighting for refugees and asylum seekers — building toward a world in
which all people are able to find home — has never been more important.

But this crucial work isn’t possible without your generous support. Every dollar is MATCHED until midnight in support of displaced children and
families, so I’m asking you to rush a gift today for refugees facing their
greatest moments of need:

you give before midnight will be doubled to help HIAS welcome the stranger and
protect the refugee.
