When a typhoon hits, we’re there.We are there when a drought causes crops to fail, leaving families desperate for just one meal a day.
Earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding: we can’t predict when they’ll come, but we can predict that we’ll be there, responding to the most urgent needs. We will stay for as long as it takes.
Even with all our trained and dedicated staff on the ground, none of our work is possible without the support of people like you.
Your gift will help girls, boys, and families living in poor communities during emergencies by providing tools and resources to help them rebuild their lives. Your help is especially crucial now: if you make a donation before December 31st, your gift will be matched, up to $1 million.
Will you help by making a gift to support families in need? Every dollar you give will help us reach our goal of $1 million before December 31st.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke recently about suffering around the world – and what gives him the strength to keep going. He said, “When I travel, I make it a point to go where people are suffering. I have spoken to families who lost everything, women who have been raped, children who have been orphaned. It would be easy to lose hope.
“But I was amid people who show extraordinary courage in the face of their suffering. I am especially inspired by the field workers like your CARE staff, who dedicate their lives to helping others. The United Nations can never succeed without such a strong partner like CARE.
“Let us work together to do everything we can to empower girls. I’m confident when we empower them, they will change our world. Change our world for the better.”
As a CARE supporter, I know that you share Ban Ki-moon’s passionate beliefs. Please help us continue to help send girls to school, empower women facing gender-based violence, and build communities where families have lost their homes due to disaster. We cannot do it without you, Catherine Anne.
Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work.
Sincerely,
Helene D. Gayle, MD, MPH
