Dear friend,
Christmas is just around the corner, and for many people, the excitement is starting to set in! I know, we’ve been feeling it especially since my eldest daughter returned from college for the holidays and all the little ones are vying for her attention.
But here at LifeSite, we all are starting to feel some stress over the last 3 days of our Christmas Campaign.
I know I speak for the entire staff when I say that the greatest Christmas gift we could receive would be knowing that LifeSiteNews is in a financial position to continue bringing the truth about the life issues, marriage, faith, and freedom to tens of millions of people in 2015!
As it is right now, with $92,000 still to raise in our Christmas campaign, I am deeply concerned. At this late hour I must challenge EVERYONE who has not yet donated to give as generously as they can – even if it’s only $5 or $10!
Can you Donate just $5 or $10?
You can also donate by phone or mail from our donate page.
As the editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews, I feel an added responsibility to make this campaign a success, not just for our mission (that goes without saying!), but also for the sake of our remarkable staff – many of whom are responsible for their own growing families, and yet who have given up security and sacrificed so much to dedicate themselves full-time to this difficult work!
Indeed, I view my colleagues in this fight as not just co-workers, but friends…and indeed, family!
Where else could you find such a group of people – with so much knowledge, such exceptional skills, and such a whole-hearted commitment to the truth – who are willing to give so much of themselves in service of that truth, and expect so little in return?
This staff is what makes LifeSiteNews what it is: the only international news agency with a team of full-time reporters dedicated 100% to digging deep and uncovering and reporting the truth about the most important and often controversial issues of our time.
Most news services won’t even tackle the issues that we do, or they distort them or avoid truthful reporting about them. They are not money-attracting issues and do not endear those who accurately report on them to the establishments and most influential persons in the world.
But without the support of readers like you, building this news agency, and bringing this team together, would never have been possible!
I know there are many who might not think sending in $5, $10, or even $20 will make a difference.
Let me tell you – with millions reading us every month, that is truly all we need! Many hands make light work, as the saying goes.
I just cannot overemphasize the fact that the very existence of LifeSite’s news reporting depends upon the success of these campaigns – especially this Christmas one!
And, of course, I would like to appeal to all those who are blessed to be able to give substantially more at this time to please send LifeSite a gift. Perhaps you are one of the mere 15-20 folks it would take to bring us to our goal with a donation of $1,000, $2,500, or even $5,000 or more?
(U.S. readers, please keep in mind we are a 501(c)(3) organization, which means your gift is tax deductible!)
As you are making your final decisions on which organizations to donate to at year-end, remember that LifeSite is the only professional, international news agency that employs a team of skilled journalists, editors, and technical staff in multiple countries dedicated solely to bringing about cultural change through journalism dedicated to life, family and related cultural issues!
We firmly believe these are the most important issues facing the world today, as we were so firmly encouraged to believe many times in the past by Pope John Paul II and other great leaders.
These leaders have warned us repeatedly about a very real, ominous and growing Culture of Death that could only be defeated by recognizing this danger and fighting it with a Culture Life. We see that as the overwhelming purpose of LifeSite.
Your donation today allows our journalists to support their families and cover our many production costs so that they can continue publishing and promoting (an additional large cost) between 10-20 original stories each and every day – content that we provide to millions of people free of charge!
Whatever your means, please donate today and support our Christmas fundraiser!
