“I’ve taken up the Step Out of Your Comfort Zone challenge to raise funds to help deliver life-saving food to refugee
children and families. For every $1 raised, World Vision can deliver life-saving food aid up to the value of $9. Funds
raised will enable World Vision to distribute life-saving food and relief essentials in countries where needed most.
Help me in raising funds to help deliver life-saving food to children and their communities who rely on monthly food
rations to stay alive.
Please give whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about {campaign_name}, the
greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in
advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
For example:
$20 could provide life-saving food to 163 children* for a month
$35 could provide life-saving food to 286 children* for a month
$50 could provide life-saving food to 409 children* for a month
