IRC Ambassador Natalie Portman shares why she admires the work of the International Rescue Committee. "For nearly a century, refugee families have turned to the IRC for the resources and support they need to rebuild their lives. Please, donate what you can today.” Natalie has an important message for you this holiday season. Join her and donate to the IRC today.

We asked Ukrainian refugees to write a letter to themselves, one year in the past, before the war. What would they tell themselves? What advice would they give? “You are going to lose some people to this war.

The IRC helps people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. We work in over 50 crisis-affected countries, bringing ingenuity, fortitude and optimism to making a lasting impact for the people we serve. We arrive at the onset of crisis and aim to stay as long as we are needed. We also help refugees and other vulnerable people integrate into their new communities across dozens of cities in Europe and the Americas.
