John: On this last day of the year, I hope you'll consider making a gift to help us reach more refugee moms and babies, and others in need worldwide. If you donate before midnight — taking advantage of our exclusive New Year's Eve 3X match — your tax-deductible gift will be tripled. Thank you for making stories like this one possible...
Baby Enqath was born in a displacement camp in Yemen, the country facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Four in five children (around 12.3 million total) are in need of humanitarian aid.
Enqath's mother, Bodor, remembers her anxiety as the contractions started — praying she would give birth safely. Like many women in Yemen, Bodor could not afford treatment at a hospital — or the transportation to get to a functioning facility.
"The IRC team came here and helped me," she says. "They gave me injections and IV infusions that helped me give birth. I gave birth in this tent."
Getting proper care enabled Bodor to regain her strength. She has since fully recovered — and just as important, her daughter arrived safely.
Bodor, holding her new baby girl in her arms, told our teams, "We called the baby Enqath, which means 'Rescue' in Arabic, after the organization's name — because it rescued us."
It's thanks to compassionate people like you, John, that we can provide refugees and displaced families with the support they need to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. I hope you can make a special New Year's Eve gift right now — and triple your impact. |
