Help Us Continue this Vital Work

Dear Friends of Direct Aid Iraq,

I hope you’re reading this because you, like all of us at DAI, believe that we have a responsibility to continue to support a future of peace for Iraqis, even though Iraq has faded from the headlines. A quick look at the posts on this website in recent days illustrates the courage and determination of the Iraqi friends and colleagues with whom we work, and the urgency of the needs we – Iraqis and American involved in Direct Aid Iraq – are working to meet on a daily basis.

I’m writing because we need your help, now more than ever.

The DAI team has just launched an urgent fundraising appeal to help us keep this work going in the coming months. Without your support, we will not be able to continue at our current level, and will be forced to scale back at a time when our efforts are increasingly needed. With your support, we can sustain and expand our crucial work of aid, advocacy, and relationship building as we develop new opportunities for practical, effective work supporting Iraqi needs inside Iraq, in Jordan, and in the United States.

Please download this PDF of our Summer Fundraising Appeal and consider making a donation as your resources allow this week.

And please take a few moments to share DAI’s work with two or more friends who you believe would support our work as well. You can do that simply and easily through Facebook and other sites by using the row of buttons at the bottom of this post (click the “Facebook” icon), or by joining our Cause on Facebook (visit www.causes.com/dai)  and sharing it with your Friends. If you’d like to help us spread the word, but don’t know how, email me and I’ll help you get involved.

Thank you in advance for your vital support.

Noah Baker Merrill, Program Coordinator
