[Use this link to rush a gift now. »»]( [International Rescue Committee logo.]( {NAME} – The people the IRC supports are among the most courageous I've ever met. In Somalia, survivors of gender-based violence are reclaiming their future through counseling and education. In Yemen, parents make extraordinary sacrifices to make sure that their children have enough to eat. Every day in Ukraine brings more stories of communities caring for one another, of strangers helping strangers through profound acts of kindness. I am inspired and humbled to see the people we work with respond to crises with that kind of courage, resilience and compassion. Our teams in these places show such great compassion and bravery when they respond to crises. But the truth is, the threats our teams face are more than anyone can face alone. [I'm reaching out today because we need your support to help meet this moment of increased humanitarian need in crisis zones around the world.]( Ongoing conflicts and crises in countries like Somalia, Ukraine, Syria and Yemen have forced 100 million people to flee their homes. This magnitude of displacement is the greatest humanitarian crisis of our lifetime. That's why we are launching the IRC Recovery Resilience Response — a new commitment to the immediate and long-term needs of the people we serve. [We've set a goal of raising $50,000 online to jumpstart Recovery and Resilience Response — and the deadline is midnight tonight. Please, make your additional gift of $35 a month to help reach our ambitious goal.]( [MAKE A GIFT »]( Your support will make a deep and meaningful difference in the lives of people in more than 40 countries, 28 U.S. cities and throughout Europe — from regions recovering from natural disasters, like the Syria-Turkey border, to communities that resettle refugees like Wichita, Kansas. Recovery and Resilience Response efforts can expand access to: - Safety from the violence and harm to which women and children are most vulnerable. - Health and protection from preventable conditions like diarrhea and malnutrition. - Education, which enables children to heal, learn and thrive. - Economic and climate resilience, so families can weather crises and prosper. - Power, so the people we serve can influence decisions that affect their lives. With your steadfast support, we can keep our promise to stay as long as it takes to help communities rebuild after facing a catastrophe. We can be there when a family's life is shattered, and support them as they pick up the pieces and recover. Together, we can all do our part to confront the biggest crises of our time, from war in Ukraine and conflict in Syria to the escalating climate crisis. When I think of the courage of the people we work with — from local partners to displaced families — I know that they deserve our full commitment. [I hope that you will make your own contribution before the midnight deadline to help deliver on that promise.]( Grateful for you, David David Miliband President and CEO International Rescue Committee [MAKE A GIFT »]( The International Rescue Committee | [Rescue.org]( 122 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10168-1289 USA To ensure future delivery of IRC e-mails, please add our reply address updates@rescue.org to your Address Book.
