[View it online.](   [CARE](  [HAPPENING NOW: LAST MATCH OF THE YEAR](   {NAME}, it is nearly impossible to look to the new year with hope when humanitarian needs are growing by the minute. Yet, so many brave women are doing just that and are determined to establish a better life for their families even as they face the terrifying reality of being caught in the crossfire of war. [Your year-end gift can help CARE continue to provide urgent assistance to women and children who have been forced to flee their homes.]( Together, we can help provide relief kits to meet their most urgent needs of food, water, and basic hygiene supplies so they can focus on caring for their families, staying safe, and rebuilding their lives.   [5X MATCH — GIVE NOW](   Your year-end gift today will help support women like Alaa. Alaa and her three children are currently in South Gaza, living under constant bombardment. All of the shelters are overcrowded, and there is hardly any clean water. There is no electricity to make bread; there’s no cooking gas. Alaa remembers the moment the war began:   “When the war started on October 7, I was getting my children ready to go to the kindergarten and school. I had just put their little jackets and shoes on when we heard the first airstrikes hit. We only had minutes to pack our things. I ran upstairs to my children’s room and grabbed a few of their clothes. I felt like I was in a daze, seeing the house we had lived in for so many years, not knowing if and when we would ever return.”   Alaa is not alone in her determination to overcome the effects of conflict in Gaza. Women in Syria, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and many other countries around the world often have no choice but to leave their home and their possessions behind to seek refuge from conflict and natural disasters. They remain hopeful for the day when they can return to their homes, and to a life of peace.      "The first thing my son Taim asks me every morning he wakes up 'Mama, did the war end? Can I go back to school?' How much longer until they can be children again?"   – Alaa     {NAME}, [our last match of the year multiplies the impact of your gift 5X for brave women like Alaa facing conflict and displacement.
