Dear Brothers and Sisters,

When a member of our Church needs help, they approach the Fund for Assistance, because they know that they have a connection to the most compassionate individuals of our Church – people like you.

A few months ago, your kindness rescued the Orthodox Mission in Korea from impending closure.

Your generosity ensures that our afflicted brothers and sisters in Haiti can count on a meal today.

Thanks to your benevolence, the persecuted of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church receive the support they desperately need. All of these significant deeds have been made possible by your kindness.

Today, I humbly request that you extend your generosity once more.

We are comforted to know that many sorrowful tales within our Church are brought to an end through the Fund for Assistance – thanks to you.

Today I am asking you to help the Fund for Assistance. Without your help and mine, there is not a lot they will be able to do on their own.

Please respond generously to their annual fund appeal here. Please know that, when you help the Fund for Assistance, you help our Church.

I urge you to support this fine institution. Thanks to their work, today our Church is in a better situation than it was when the Fund for Assistance began its work in 1959.

Please make sure they can continue to help our Church in the future.

With love in Christ,

+NICHOLAS
