John M’s birthday campaign for Lanka flood victims

For my birthday this year, I’m asking friends to support families affected by the recent floods. The need doesn’t end once the rain stops, many communities will need ongoing assistance to rebuild their lives, homes, and a sense of stability. So every little bit truly helps.

I know many of you have already contributed to different relief efforts, and I’m deeply aware of that generosity. If you’re able to give again, even in a small way, it would mean a lot.

I’m choosing to support Palmera, who have already begun their response and have been reaching some of the most cut-off communities. You can see their daily updates here: palmera.org/cyclone-update

Donating in place of a birthday gift will help them reach even more families in the days ahead. That’s all I could ask for.
