jay, *Mother's Day is this Sunday! But there's still time to get something to a special woman in your life. Send in your donation now, and we’ll mail a beautiful card with a personal note to a special woman in your life. But hurry, we must receive your gift by May 2 in order to mail the card by Mother’s Day!* Imagine what it must feel like to be a mother…and a refugee…to have your children always in harm’s way. Kayoke, a widow with five children, knows what it’s like. She and her family fled from the Democratic Republic of Congo to escape horrific violence. They sought refuge in a camp in Rwanda. “I and my children had no access to resources to start any business or engage in any activity…,” Kayoke said. “I waited for my day to die.” [Photo: Kayoke (center) and two of her children.]
It’s for women like Kayoke that I ask you to make a donation this Mother’s Day. Please consider honoring a woman in your life by giving a gift. We’ll send her a Mother’s Day card to let her know you’re thinking of her. Your gift will help mothers and their children access the essentials of life…like basic health care, clean water, sanitary latrines and other necessities. Investing in mothers is the most important thing we can do to help children. Helping children is the most important thing we can do to improve our world. Thanks to the support of donors like you, Kayoke was able to start her own small business. Now, she can provide her kids with necessities, and she can even send them to school! By making a generous gift today, you'll help us reach others like Kayoke. Sincerely, -Daniel
