I'm writing to you from Freetown, Sierra Leone, where the holiday ads have been replaced by a constant stream of public service messages regarding the Ebola epidemic.
This holiday season in Sierra Leone, public authorities are taking serious measures to keep the virus at bay—banning public celebrations of Christmas and the New Year, and most public gatherings during this time.
It's another reminder that life is nothing close to normal in the Ebola-affected areas of Africa. There is still so much to do to wipe out this terrible virus.
Will you support our emergency Ebola work with a contribution today? Your gift of $15 or more will help save lives.
Our clinical teams on the ground are working overtime to treat Ebola patients, joining with our partners and the people of Sierra Leone to bring a sense of hope. We can help to beat this virus. But we need your continued support to do so.
We need to treat more people. We need to train more community health workers. And we need to ensure more medical equipment is sent to the front lines.
Everything we're doing to stop this disease takes vital resources—staff and supplies—and we can't do it without you.
Please make a gift of $15 or more this holiday season to help our efforts in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Together, we can make a real difference.
