Believe it or not

Friend, believe it or not, that's me as a teenager in the photo below:

I'm shaking hands with former Ohio U.S. Senator (and astronaut) John Glenn as I receive my Eagle Scout award. At the time, it was the proudest moment of my life – and frankly, it still ranks pretty high on that list!

The values I learned as a scout – integrity, leadership, and service – have shaped who I am and why I'm in this fight: to make our country a place where everyone can thrive.

But I need your help to win a fight this big and important, friend. We're facing an uphill battle in this Senate race, and corporate special interests are gearing up to spend millions to defeat me. The only way I can overcome the odds is with folks like you by my side.

Perhaps the most well-known value I learned as a scout was "be prepared" – so today, I'm asking you to help me prepare for all the dark money and attacks ahead.

Will you chip in $5 or more to help me win in Ohio, bring my Eagle Scout values to the Senate, and be a voice for working people across the country?

NEW 5X MATCH: Turn your compassion into action for the new year

DECEMBER 2025 NEWSLETTER
SPECIAL END-OF-YEAR EDITION

2025 is a year many children around the world will never forget. Violence, hunger, displacement and trauma have caused suffering for children in the hardest-to-reach places. Worse, humanitarian aid funding cuts have made it harder to meet their needs.

Despite these challenges, supporters like you have helped us be there for children when they needed it most.

Before the year ends, we want to highlight a few of the many times throughout the year when our generous donor community made a difference in delivering emergency relief, care and support.

We’re grateful for supporters like you who have helped Save the Children deliver security, care and lifesaving aid to kids so they can survive and thrive through the toughest hardships.

If you haven’t made a gift yet or want to amplify your impact before the year ends, take advantage of our newly upgraded 5X match to make 5X the difference for children into the new year!**

Match upgraded: 5x match! Amplify your impact for children before the year ends. 5x my gift now.

Creating child-friendly spaces for Sudanese refugees affected by conflict

For over two years, violence has threatened children’s lives in Sudan. It forced 16-year-old Ali* to flee his home, and he now lives in a refugee camp in Uganda. Save the Children's child-friendly spaces in the camp provide Ali with safety and comfort so he can play soccer and continue his education.

Read more about the many ways Save the Children works to protect children like Ali.

Helping children overcome malnutrition in Gaza

Babies and children in Gaza are fighting severe malnutrition due to the war. At just 6 months old, Alma* became malnourished, but our nutrition team helped her recover. Months later, after famine began spreading and economic conditions worsened, she began losing weight again. Thankfully, a Save the Children clinic quickly diagnosed Alma and started treatment with therapeutic food.

See the impact Save the Children is making for children like Alma who’ve been affected by hunger in Gaza.

Responding to the earthquake in Myanmar

In March, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, destroying homes and key infrastructure. Fear of aftershocks forced families to live in makeshift tents, including a young mother of a 4-year-old and her ten family members. Save the Children provided safe shelter – and supporters like you made it possible.

Learn more about Tin Tin’s* story and how Save the Children is providing relief in Myanmar.

Delivering relief after tornadoes devastated the Midwest

From West Virginia to Kentucky to Oklahoma, this year’s deadly tornadoes left a trail of destruction – robbing children of safe spaces to learn and causing emotional distress. Our teams provide lifesaving emergency services with a special focus on children to ensure they can recover and enjoy their childhood.

See how we’ve delivered relief to families affected by tornadoes over the years.

There are many ways to make a difference for children.

BREAKING: Escalation from Pete Hegseth

Jeanne, Mark Kelly here.

They are escalating.

We hadn't heard anything significant since December 10th, and then they dropped this.

Honestly, we learned about this the same as everyone else. We found out that Trump called for my arrest and execution by tweet. We heard about this investigation for the first time by tweet. And now that they're escalating, we hear it by tweet — again.

Trump and Hegseth won't let this go — but I refuse to back down. And I need you with me to have any chance against them.

Please. If you've got my back: Split a donation of $5 between me and Catherine Cortez Masto.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Mark

I’ll just say it…

I need to share three critical pieces of information that have changed everything.

1. Democrats only need to flip THREE seats to win the House majority.

2. Political pollsters report that Democrats control a commanding 14-POINT lead in the battle to control the House.

3. Trump has raised nearly $2 BILLION to rescue his MAGA Trifecta from the electoral consequences of his deeply unpopular agenda.

We cannot sit quietly and let Trump buy his Rubber Stamp Republican majority another two years in power. Your support ahead the end-of-year deadline is critical to help Democrats compete with the MAGA megadonors and defeat the healthcare gutting, Social Security-hating extremists. Overcoming their massive war chest will take an unprecedented fundraising haul. Will you be one of the 10,000 supporters I'm asking to split a $10 gift between DCCC and the Off the Sidelines so Democrats can start the new year with a powerful advantage? Even rushing in $1 would help more than you can imagine >>

DEMOCRATIC GIFTS REQUESTED: 10,000

ACTIVIST: YOU

Suggested support: $10

I know we can prove the political pundits wrong. With your help, we've done it before.

You led the charge to defy political gravity last November, leaving House Republicans with the slimmest majority in nearly a century.

You've ushered in another round of Democratic victories across the country since then.

You're helping Democrats hold Team Extreme accountable for slashing healthcare funding for millions of families, seniors and veterans.

Now, we need you to keep up the fight. We cannot let this opportunity go to waste. Can I count on you to split $10 between DCCC and the Off the Sidelines to help close their budget gap before the end-of-year deadline? >>

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to the DCCC and Off the Sidelines will go through immediately:

Today, we’re asking you to chip in $5

Friend, in case you missed it…

Two new polls show me slightly ahead of my opponent in Ohio's critical Senate race. This is a huge deal. Our grassroots movement is gaining steam.

But corporate special interests are gearing up to spend millions to crush our momentum, and I need your help to fight back and win.

If you've been waiting for the best time to chip in your first donation, today is the day. Will you give $5 or more now to flip Ohio's Senate seat?

Thank you,
