Friend,
A sigh of relief at the sight of that blue vest.
The smiling stranger helps lighten the load and points to safety and rest.
Help is here.
The men and women clad in that blue vest are UNHCR staff on the ground, a sign of comfort and aid after a journey filled wither terror.
So many families have been forced to flee their homes, and more are fleeing every day, but there are loving arms to welcome them and help them to survive. These champions for refugees face long, grueling days. They sacrifice time with their own families to care for the displaced.
I'm sure, like me, you have watched the events in Ukraine unfold over recent weeks with a heavy heart. We also witnessed the crisis unfold across Afghanistan last year and the devastation many refugees and displaced people continue to experience in Yemen, Syria and around the world.
Your generosity ensures that UNHCR staff is on the ground, changing the lives of refugees through your compassionate support. Today you can provide encouragement to these selfless individuals by sending a message of support. Your message can help inspire them to keep doing this vital work.
The thoughtfulness you have shown to children, women and men fleeing violence in Ukraine has been inspiring — thank you. UNHCR staff puts your love into action, helping refugees in their darkest moments and empowering them with the resources they need to build a bright new future.
I hope you'll join me in telling these incredible people that we are thinking about them and deeply appreciate all that they do.
I am so inspired by the love that you and my colleagues have for refugees from Ukraine and beyond.
Together, we can change lives.
Sincerely,
Anne-Marie Grey Executive Director and CEO USA for UNHCR .
