Your Impact X 2!

Hi jay:

Right now you can double the impact of your donation for people suffering famine in Somalia!

I thought you’d want to know that The Mosaic Company will match your donation for famine relief, dollar-for dollar. Your gift X 2! You can make a donation now at GiveMN.  

So far, $11,006 have been matched. But we still have a ways to go. Can you help? Your donation will go directly to help families in Somalia. 

There’s three things you should know about the famine: 

1) As you’ve probably heard, drought in Somalia has led to a devastating famine. Children under the age of 5 are the most vulnerable. Families are fleeing to Mogadishu, Kenya and Ethiopia to try to get food and help. It’s the worst situation we at ARC have seen in decades. 

2) ARC is working in Somalia to help these families. We’ve distributed food and basic essentials, built a water system to get clean water to 50,000 families and constructed latrines to stop the spread of disease. We’re setting up a cholera treatment unit and nutrition center at Banadir Hospital and bringing in medical volunteers to help care for the sick.

 3) You Can Help! The Mosaic Company wants to encourage you to support famine relief efforts. So, they’re challenging you with a match. For every dollar you give – up to $100,000 – they’ll match it. 

Whatever you can give will help. We still have $89,000 to go to take advantage of this incredible opportunity! 

Your gift will make a huge difference for families in Somalia, struggling to survive.  

Thanks so much for your consideration. 

Sincerely, 

-Daniel
