Dear John,
The Amari family barely escaped with their lives from Aleppo, Syria.
I first met them on a research trip to Lebanon last year. They were stuck there
— afraid and uncertain for their future — after they were denied entry to the
U.S. because of President Trump’s first Muslim ban.
Now, they are making a new home in Virginia — where they thanked us (and you!)
for all of our support.
Their story had a happy ending. But countless other refugee families still need
your help.
Despite having fled unspeakable violence, many are hungry and cold. They are
sick and stranded in overcrowded refugee camps, often with limited medical care
and sanitation. They are bracing for the cold winter months that are looming.
We need your urgent support, John. Any amount you
can spare today will make a massive impact for refugee families — like the Amari
family, in the photo above — who are seeking safety. If you can chip in today, I
can guarantee that your impact will be immediately tripled.

When I visited the Amari family in Virginia last month, the kids were watching
Mr. Bean, the cartoon, on TV. They generously prepared me a meal — served
alongside delicious purple pickled eggplants.
I asked the girls about their new life in Virginia. One said she always dreamed
of a house like this. She likes science, history, and cooking pasta. The other,
just nine-years-old, said her favorite subject is math and she loves riding a
bicycle. She wants to be a surgeon.
It’s hard to believe that just last year, when I first met the Amari family,
they were living in limbo in Lebanon — fearful they would never see their new
home in the U.S. as promised. Now, they are safe. They are home.
Inspired by powerful stories like this one — and the tremendous need around the
world — a generous group of donors has agreed to triple match all donations
TODAY. During this special season of gift-giving and hope, please give what you can to
make an incredible impact for refugee families.

Your donation will be tripled immediately to have 3X the impact — if you give
today.
[[link removed]] And your gift will immediately be put to work as we research, advocate, and
fight human rights abuses around the world. We’re working around the clock to
make change happen.
On behalf of the Amari family, refugee families around the world, and myself —
thank you.
