This Christmas, help bring more families together with Save the Children.
When you donate, to say thank you we’ll send you a Christmas Star decoration to remember your support to Save the Children each time you see it on your tree.
The unique design represents coming together at this special time of year. The five points all joined up by a central Star represent your support in helping Save the Children bring families back together after war, disaster and famine.
Christmas is a time that brings families together around the world. But every day in countries like South Sudan, Indonesia and Iraq, children can become separated from their families in the chaos of war and disaster.
By donating this Christmas, you’re helping to give children a brighter future. How your support could help:

Samer* was reunited with his mother after 4 months apart. Read his story below
We're helping families forced from their homes by conflict in Iraq and Syria
Samer*, age 13, was separated from his mum and siblings when he fled Mosul, Iraq during the ISIS occupation. For months, Samer did not know what had happened to his mum or his brothers and sisters.
Samer reached out to one of Save the Children’s child protection staff members to help him locate his family. Through Save the Children’s Family Tracing and Reunification programme, Samer was reunited with his mother after 4 months apart.
Samer, his mum and young siblings are now living together in a camp outside Mosul, Iraq.
"I don't know how to describe what I felt that day. Only a mother's heart might understand my feelings after four months of separation."
100% of your donation to the Christmas Star appeal will go to Save the Children - to save children's lives and build better and brighter futures.
Save the Children does whatever it takes to protect children's rights as well as providing life-saving food, medicine and support to help children around the world thrive.

If you'd like to donate but not receive a Star, you'll be able to select this option when you visit the donation page.
You will be asked to enter your address when you donate. We will then post your decoration along with a Christmas card to say thank you!
As we will be writing cards to say thank you, this means you'll be receiving your Star within 7-10 working days after we have processed your donation.
Thursday 20th Decemebr will be the last opportunity to donate and receive your Christmas decoration to help bring families together.
