Emergency Relief Appeal Writer

## CONTEXT
When disaster or crisis strikes, nonprofits providing relief must mobilize support fast, often within hours. An emergency appeal operates by different rules than a standard solicitation: it must convey urgency without exploiting suffering, show that the organization can act now, and make giving immediate and frictionless. Poorly handled emergency appeals can feel exploitative or fail to convey credibility. This prompt writes a rapid-response appeal that drives immediate, generous giving while preserving the dignity of those affected.
