(PORTLAND, Ore.) October 17, 2025 – Thanksgiving. Christmas. New Year’s. These and other special occasions are anticipated and celebrated at this time of year. However, for roughly 123 million people around the world who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters, a holiday is yet another day of struggling for life’s basics, including essential healthcare.
The good news is that your generosity this season can help change that. Through the Medical Teams International Gift Catalog, you can make sure that people forced from home and living in crisis-affected communities receive life-saving medical care.
For every gift you give in honor of a friend, co-worker, or loved one, the recipient gets a beautiful, personalized e-card from you in their inbox. It’s meaningful, memorable, and lasting – for the person who receives critically needed care, for you, and for the person in whose name you’re giving. Gifts given before midnight on December 24, 2025 will be doubled up to $60,000 by a generous donor. Choose from the following and more:
Forced from Home and Illness Strikes
Stop Deadly Infections
For people living in refugee camps or crisis zones, a simple infection can turn deadly without treatment. Your gift provides IV fluids, antibiotics, and supportive care – everything needed to bring someone back from the brink of death.
- Provide treatment for one patient: $58
- Provide treatment for two patients: $116
- Provide treatment for five patients: $290
Forced from Home and Weakened by Hardship
Save Malnourished Children
Without treatment, malnutrition can be a death sentence for a child. Your gift provides lifesaving nutrition therapy – whether through outpatient care for children who are stable, or hospitalization for those in critical condition.
- Outpatient treatment for two malnourished children: $60
- Hospital care for two severely malnourished children: $200
Forced from Home and Birthing in Danger
Safe Births for Mothers in Crisis
Last year, an estimated 28 million women gave birth outside of a medical facility, with no doctor or midwife present. This greatly increases the risk of death for mother and baby. Give displaced mothers and babies the protection of skilled medical care.
- Safe delivery kits for 10 mothers: $170
- Safe delivery kits for 20 mothers: $240
- Safe delivery kits for 50 mothers: $850
