John — we know we've been reaching out a lot recently to ask for your support, but it’s for two specific reasons:

1) We know you care as deeply as we do about refugees and asylum seekers, and
2) Without your support, we may fall short of the resources we need to expand our important work during this exceedingly challenging time for refugees.

We’re still $11,021 short of our year-end goal, and time is rapidly running out to have your gift DOUBLED before this match expires. With thousands of displaced people counting on HIAS in this critical moment, we need your support to expand our important work for refugees next year:

Please, rush your first donation of $18 or more and make TWICE the impact for refugees before this match expires.

As the pandemic worsens during the worst refugee crisis in recent history, HIAS is doing everything we can to support refugees and asylum seekers. Right now, we’re providing emergency relief, legal aid, and other vital assistance to single mothers, separated families, and those fleeing violence and persecution in 16 countries across the globe — and as this global health crisis continues, we’re preparing to expand our efforts for those in need.

But this lifesaving work simply isn’t possible without your support, and we’re still falling short of our goal. This is our most important deadline of the year — the money we raise today will determine how much we can do to help refugees and asylum seekers in 2021. Please, don’t miss your chance to DOUBLE every dollar for those who have left everything behind in search of safety:

Rush your first gift of $18 or more to provide vital assistance to refugees and asylum seekers as they build new lives free from violence and persecution.

Thank you so much,

Bill Swersey Vice President, Communications
