Give in Honor of Mother’s Day

Dear Friend,

Ellina, a Project HOPE field worker in Malawi, wrote to you earlier this week about Rose, a single mom whose child was dying of tuberculosis (TB). Ellina also asked you to make a gift to help raise $10,000 in honor of moms, grandmothers and maternal figures everywhere for Mother’s Day.

I’m reaching out to let you know there’s still time for every $1 you give to become $2, thanks to our incredible HOPE and Health Matching Gift Challenge. Your support will help moms like Rose — this Mother’s Day and every day of the year.

Rose would do anything for her children, Catherine and Evance. When Evance could no longer walk, she strapped the 10-year-old on her back and traveled on foot 10 miles to the nearest hospital.

Rose and her kids are HIV-positive. Thanks to your support, Project HOPE provides access to the antiretroviral treatments that keep their viral loads low. And fortunately Evance received lifesaving treatment in time, but follow-up care was essential — and that’s where Ellina came in to care for the family and get them the support they needed to survive. She checked in every week while Evance was recovering, making sure he was doing well — and helping the whole family get monitored regularly.

Having Ellina come visit us gives me comfort, especially when Evance was sick,” Rose says. “She gave me support when I needed it.”

With help from Ellina and Project HOPE, Rose can give her kids a life better than her own — every mother’s wish — and move forward with hope.

To be there for Rose, we count on you — one of our strongest supporters. I’m asking you now to make a gift in honor of Rose — and all moms and maternal figures — by Sunday. When you do, your gift will be matched, making your generosity 2X as powerful to save lives around the world.
