The Best Way to Celebrate Mother’s Day:
Help Moms and Babies Thrive

MOTHER'S DAY FUNDS RAISED: $8,326

GOAL: $50,000

Dear Friend,

It’s Banneh from Sierra Leone! Since I sent my email on Tuesday, many of your fellow Project HOPE supporters have donated to help me raise $50,000 by Mother’s Day. Please help by making your gift now when matching funds will double your impact for moms, babies and families.

You will be helping deliver HOPE for babies like Aisha. Born weighing only three pounds, Aisha was admitted to the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at a children’s hospital in Sierra Leone. Project HOPE provides the SBCU with lifesaving training for neonatal nurses and other health care providers — as well as training to the hospital’s maintenance staff so they can keep the limited, but critical medical equipment they have operating correctly. And this year, we’re repairing the SBCU’s water tank so new moms and babies will have clean water again.

Aisha’s story shows us that, even in a country with some of the highest neonatal mortality rates in the world, there is HOPE when we come together. I’m calling on you to help more babies thrive in Sierra Leone and provide health care across the world. Please make your best gift by May 12, while every $1 you donate equals $2.

In the SCBU and in neonatal units around the world, health care workers provide lifesaving care for mothers and infants — some of whom need respiratory support for fighting deadly infections like sepsis. But as resourceful and determined as health workers are, they can’t do it alone.

Your generosity can support lifesaving work here in Sierra Leone, Gaza, Haiti and communities around the world. Please celebrate Mother’s Day by helping save lives. It’s the most meaningful gift you can make.

With urgency and thanks,

Banneh Daramy
