This is urgent, John: We set a goal to raise $50,000 for the world’s most vulnerable children ahead of Mother’s Day weekend, but right now we’re $13,717 short of our goal.

With so many children in need of our help here in the United States and across the world, we can’t afford to miss this goal – so please, will you rush a gift now for the world’s most vulnerable children?

The ongoing pandemic has been incredibly challenging for mothers, who already bear the brunt of child-rearing responsibilities. Many have lost work or income, struggled with food insecurity and unexpectedly been forced to take charge of their children’s education.

Save the Children is working to provide mothers and families in need with supplemental learning materials, cash vouchers and food assistance, but additional support is urgently needed. That’s why we set this goal ahead of Mother’s Day weekend – and why we can’t afford to fall short. Can we count on you to help make up the gap before it’s too late?

Please, in honor of mothers here in the U.S. and across the world who are doing everything they can to help their children survive and thrive in the wake of this devastating pandemic, rush a gift right now to support the world’s most vulnerable children.

Thank you so much for helping us create change that lasts a lifetime for children here in the United States and around the world.
