Update: 300 Families in Mogadishu


Hello jay -

I wanted to send you an update on my message from Thursday. I want to thank the donors who have responded and given nearly $1,900. This will allow us to make sure 19 families have enough food for the next month.

But there are a total of 300 families who need us right now.

They are starving. They’ve fled their homes and gone to Mogadishu. They’ve been surviving on scraps of food. They are desperate for help.

You are needed now.

$100 will let us buy a month’s supply of food for one family. I still want to raise $30,000 in the next couple of days so that we can buy these families something to eat fast.

Time is not on our side. Please click here and make a donation now.

You can see this boy’s chances are not good. Your first instinct may be to turn away,
but please don’t.

If we act right now, we can help these 300 families. The drought in East Africa is affecting millions of people. We’ll be working to help as many people as we can. But right now, we’re focused on these 300 families.

Please forward this urgent request along to family and friends and help us get to $30,000 today. Our team is on the ground in East Africa working out our next steps. But we want to try to help these 300 families first.

Thank you for your support.

Urgently,

-Daniel
