Happy Jane Day!

In honor of my loving mother on her birthday, I am asking friends and family to make a donation to one of her favorite charities, Mercy Corps, so that together we can help other families celebrate together, survive crisis, build better lives and transform their communities. Will you make a gift in honor and memory of this special person?

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In more than 40 countries around the world, they partner with communities to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and create lasting change.

Please join me by making a gift that helps Mercy Corps reach even more people around the world with emergency relief and the resources they need to build better lives.

Here are some examples of how every dollar we contribute helps people survive and transform their communities.

• $12 provides bread to a Syrian family of 6 for one month
• $45 can train farmers to grow better, stronger crops
• $75 can help provide two refugees with an emergency food kit containing bread, spices, oil, meat and vegetables
• $110 can send a girl in Ethiopia to school for a year and change her life
• $720 provides a "school in a box" to help emergency affected students in South Sudan, ensuring an effective learning environment for students

Together with Mercy Corps, we can help people grow more food, access education, earn a better living, and ultimately, transform their lives — now, and for the future.

On behalf of the men, women and children who are counting on our support - Thank you!
