Will You Be 213 for Somalia?

Hi jay:

You can double the impact of your donation for people suffering famine in Somalia.

For the past few weeks, The Mosaic Company has been matching donations for famine relief, dollar-for dollar, up to $100,000. Your gift X 2!

So far, 212 generous donors have given $55,490. Will you be 213? We still have a ways to go to the goal of $100,000 before Saturday. Can you help? You can make a donation now at GiveMN.  Your donation will go directly to help families in Somalia.

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) 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, nutrition center and child-friendly space at Banadir Hospital and bringing in medical volunteers to help care for the sick. We’re also rehabilitating a hospital in Dhobley town, on the border with Kenya, and helping displaced families access water, food and other relief supplies.

 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 families in Somalia so much. Please don't wait. The match is scheduled to end on Saturday.

Thanks so much for your consideration. 

Sincerely, 

-Daniel
