For the Refugees

I am writing to you with immense gratitude and pride today. I am excited to inform you that together we raised $17,305 for refugees in need!

Your contribution helped reach our aggressive $10,000 goal and LinkedIn's match brought the total to $17,305.

I am so humbled by your generosity. Thank you for being a part of something bigger than you and I. Thank you for caring.

In light of the atrocities flooding the news about children and families dying, please consider helping those who survive, without much to their name. While the lives lost are irreplaceable, we can help heal some of the wounds by providing a gateway to rebuild and survive.

An unprecedented 65.3 million people around the world have been forced from home. Among them are nearly 21.3 million refugees, over half of whom are under the age of 18.

There are also 10 million stateless people and 34,000 people who are forcibly displaced every day as a result of conflict or persecution and we can make a difference.
For instance:

-$15 could provide a plastic tarpaulin to waterproof one family’s emergency shelter.

-$50 could provide blankets for a family of five to keep them warm at night.

-$105 could provide an emergency tent for one person.

Here is who you will be helping. Donations will be made via UNHCR.
