Escalating violence in Syria and Iraq. Hunger and near-famine levels in South Sudan. Ebola still spreading in West Africa. This year’s emergencies are completely unprecedented, and there are countless children in peril. UNICEF is racing to save them – but we need your help. Thankfully, we have some good news: Until midnight December 31 every dollar you give will be automatically doubled, up to $1 million thanks to an anonymous group of donors. It’s the single, largest matching gift this year, and it came just in time. Donate before midnight on December 31 and every dollar you give will be doubled – 100% of your gift is tax-deductible. You + UNICEF = relief on a massive scale. UNICEF can deliver lifesaving relief, to any child, almost anywhere in the world, in just 72 hours. All that’s needed is your help, and UNICEF can rush:
You and other supporters like you have helped kids beat terrible odds like this before. When famine threatened countless children in the Horn of Africa in 2011, UNICEF treated 1 million children with therapeutic food. Those kids are alive today because you and others believed that we could make a difference – even when the odds felt overwhelming. Let’s help kids beat the odds again this holiday season. With gratitude, Caryl M Stern |

A Year in Review
A responsible end to the war in Afghanistan. A historic agreement to combat climate change. A strong pace of job growth that we haven’t seen since the 1990s.

Take a look at our year in review — and share these highlights with your friends and family.
