Dear John,
2020 is almost here, but we’re still falling short of our critical $200,000 year-end fundraising goal for refugees and asylum seekers – and we’re counting on you to come through with your first gift before midnight tomorrow.
Over the past year, we’ve witnessed the erosion of America’s refugee and asylum systems. We’ve seen a humanitarian crisis wrenching families apart along our southern border. And we’ve seen the global refugee crisis continue to grow, with an unprecedented number of people around the world forcibly displaced from their homes.
No matter what the year ahead brings, HIAS remains as committed as ever to supporting those fleeing danger and persecution with the resources they need to build new lives in safety and freedom – but we depend on generous supporters like you to make our work possible.
Our teams of highly trained HIAS staff members are on the ground in fifteen countries, providing trauma counseling, legal aid, livelihood support and protection from gender-based violence – but that’s only possible because of the generosity of supporters like you.
There is hope in every dollar you give to HIAS. Hope for the mother who gets legal assistance for her asylum case and a chance to live a new life free from fear. Hope for a couple in a refugee camp who gain the tools necessary to earn a living and feed their family. Hope for the child arriving at her new home in the United States to find a warm welcome after a harrowing journey. So please, don’t wait another minute to rush your year-end donation ahead of tomorrow’s urgent midnight deadline:
We’re so grateful for your compassion and commitment to those who need a helping hand. Thank you so much.
