Dear John,

I know we’ve already emailed you about our High Holidays match opportunity, but I wanted to take a moment to share exactly why we’re reaching out again:

1. In the face of a deepening global refugee crisis, the U.S. government is taking unprecedented steps to limit refugee admissions, closing our doors to families in serious danger.

2. Guided by our history and values, HIAS is expanding vital services to meet the needs of refugees and asylum seekers – we’re working tirelessly at the southern border and opening new offices in South America, Europe and the Caribbean to better assist those fleeing violence and persecution.

3. This is why our High Holidays match is so important: Before tomorrow’s deadline, every gift you make will be DOUBLED to fuel our life-changing programs and help refugees build new lives in freedom and safety.

With just one day left, we’re still falling short, and we’re counting on you to give $18 – or as much as you can – before our deadline.

Donate $18 or more to have your gift DOUBLED toward helping those fleeing violence and persecution to build new lives.

With the number of refugees growing by the day, HIAS is as dedicated as ever to providing for the many needs of refugees and asylum seekers – including legal aid, resettlement and help to heal from the trauma of displacement – so they can find stability, safety and freedom.

This work is urgent, and none of it is possible without the generosity of supporters like you. That’s why, in honor of the High Holidays, we’re counting on you to rush your support and have your gift DOUBLED for those fleeing violence and persecution.

Click here to donate $18 or more to have it go TWICE AS FAR during the High Holidays. Your gift today will double the impact for refugees and asylum seekers around the world.

As we prepare for the challenging year ahead, we’re so grateful for supporters like you who make our work possible.

Thank you,

Miriam Feffer Vice President, Development
