Morris + Stoltz + Evans LLP asks you to please donate generously to our fundraiser in support of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
MSF is an independent emergency medical humanitarian organization that has over 45,000 staff working in more than 70 countries around the world. For more than 50 years, they have been providing assistance to people affected by conflict, disasters, outbreaks of disease and lack of access to health care.
Please take a moment to watch a video from Joseph Belliveau, the executive director at MSF Canada, while he was working with an MSF team in South Sudan – a country where many people’s lives have been devastated by the worst floods in decades as well as ongoing conflict. MSF teams are working with communities to provide critically needed emergency care.
MSF’s teams are made up of tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, logisticians and administrators – most hired locally in the countries where MSF works. Its actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality.
MSF rarely accepts funds from governments or large institutions. It relies on private donations, mainly from individual members of the public. Over 95 per cent of MSF’s income comes from private donors – people like your friends and colleagues at MSE.
Our campaign to help MSF starts today – November 8, 2022 – and will end December 16, 2022 – the UN’s International Universal Health Coverage Day.
Please join us in our aim to raise $25,000 to help MSF continue its emergency medical work.
