Hope is the gift on every child’s wish list.
In fact, it’s the most important gift you can give.
Giving a child hope tells them “The world is with you."
Lucy Meyer gives to UNICEF because “everyone’s a little bit different.” Today the UNICEF USA
Special Olympics spokesperson and gold medal swimmer helps UNICEF level the playing field for children of all
abilities.
Former child soldier Ishmael Beah lost everything to war — even the will to survive. “After
that, I thought 'What can I do to help?’” Now a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Beah helps restore the hopes and
dreams of children trapped in conflict.
UNICEF gave to Thai Dang what he needed most — medicine that saved him from malaria when he
was young, and free college tuition. Now, Dang gives to UNICEF so vulnerable children can get the kind of help
he couldn’t have lived without.

and healthy childhood.
