From all of us here at Anera, happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

Your support has allowed us to continue our critical work helping refugees and vulnerable communities in Palestine and Lebanon, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We’re heading into a busy holiday season, so I hope you’ll take just one minute to watch a short video looking back at 2018 and hearing about what we’ve been able to accomplish together.

Thank you for everything you do to help us improve the lives of those who need our help the most.
