In recent days we have witnessed, with additional horror, further atrocities in Syria in a conflict that has taken countless lives over the past seven years and displaced millions of Syrians and others.
Lutheran Disaster Response has been providing, and will continue to provide, basic humanitarian aid for those fleeing war and oppression and will continue to uphold their rights. We are working with our trusted partners and companion churches to provide safety, support and basic amenities. Your gifts can help ensure food security, establish shelter, provide better access to water and sanitation facilities, bolster livelihoods through cash transfers and skills training, provide psychosocial support and more, all for our neighbors in need.
Your gifts are needed now to help with immediate relief. Gifts designated for the Middle East and Europe Refugee Crisis will be used in full (100 percent) to assist those dealing with this crisis.
