Help families in need this Christmas

Help families far from home this Christmas

Home is a special place, all year round. We all share the yearning for a familiar, safe place surrounded by loved ones.

As Christmas approaches, it becomes even more cherished. 

Now imagine if getting home was an impossible dream. Imagine if you had been forced to leave, not knowing if you could ever return.

Imagine if your shelter now, in the depths of winter, was thrown together from plastic or thin fabric, offering no real protection against the cold, rain and snow. This is the reality for millions of families this Christmas across Gaza, Lebanon and beyond. 

With your support we can be there for families in need.

Your support means people left with absolutely nothing can survive far from home.

With your support GOAL teams can continue to provide hope to families in the world's poorest communities. In the most dangerous conflicts. Delivering food, water and medical care.

With your help, we can save lives. Because that's what GOALies do.

Please donate today and help deliver critical support to families in need this Christmas.

GOAL teams are delivering life saving support this Christmas

Supporting families in crisis this Christmas

In recent years, Haiti has faced a series of devastating challenges, including a major earthquake, severe tropical storms, and political upheaval.

As is often the case, the poorest and most vulnerable are the most impacted —people like Lovely, her husband, and her two small children.

Amid the turmoil and gang-related violence, the family has struggled to secure a reliable source of income.

As a result, there have been far too many days when they had little or no food to eat.

"My family would go to bed hungry," Lovely says.

But thanks to support from kind-hearted people like you, GOAL staff were able to help ease the burden and transform the family's life.

Lovely could finally see her children smile after eating a substantial meal. She remembers the first time her son said, “Mom, I won’t go to bed with an empty stomach anymore.”

"Our lives have changed radically," Lovely says with relief. "Today, we can have food on our table. It's like a miracle."

Sadly, Lovely’s story is a familiar one across the world this Christmas. As conflict rages and disasters unfold, thousands of families need your support.

But with your support, GOAL teams are working with communities fleeing violence across the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

Providing safe haven and medical support to refugees. Helping families to access nutritious food. And providing lifesaving support to children suffering from acute malnutrition.
