The news is flooded with the tragedy facing Afghanistan's people. We can 
help.


                        The news is flooded with the tragedy facing 
Afghanistan's people. We can help.

                        Every penny donated will be passed on to groups 
helping get desperate families money, safe transport, and legal help with 
asylum claims. Chip in now:


                        If you’ve saved your payment information with 
SumOfUs, your donation will go through immediately:

                        Donate $3 now
                        Donate another amount


            I just watched a video of dozens of desperate people clinging to 
the outside of a massive US airplane while it took off, only for some to 
fall to their death on the rooftops below. All to escape the Taliban.

            But I know we have to do something to help.

            Experts in the region say that a few charities are actually 
getting desperate families money, safe transport and legal help with asylum 
claims. But they're not the big names everyone knows and lots of NGOs are 
too scared to support them.

            Our community is different. Thousands of donations right now 
from us could go directly to the on-the-ground groups funnelling real 
assistance in the middle of this tragedy -- and we don't have to wait for 
paperwork or approvals to do it. If we all chip in now -- we could save 
lives:


            If you’ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your 
donation will go through immediately:

            Donate $3 now
            Donate another amount

            Politicians can debate who is at fault for the disaster of 
Afghanistan until they are blue in the face.

            But in the meantime, thousands of desperate people are trying to 
escape the Taliban -- many of whom worked for the US, UK, Canadian, and 
other governments in Afghanistan, at great risk to themselves and their 
family, hoping to make their country a better, safer place.

            Now governments are scrambling to evacuate their own personnel, 
while many potential refugees are left desperately flooding the Kabul 
airport and rushing into planes. A few charities are helping these people, 
including helping to ensure that the lucky few who make it have everything 
they need when they land in their new foreign homes.

            This is the kind of news that can make us feel impotent. But if 
enough of us pull together now, we can give some hope to the people who need 
it most -- chip in what you can, everything will go to groups working with 
those in need:


            If you’ve saved your payment information with SumOfUs, your 
donation will go through immediately:

            Donate $3 now
            Donate another amount


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Emma and the SumOfUs team
