Hi John - When Mi’leyah was a baby, her mother could tell something wasn’t right. After more doctor visits than she could count, she learned her little girl has a condition where her muscles are deteriorating. Mi’leyah, her mom and dad are receiving ongoing, comprehensive support from Early Head Start. Because of this continued support, Mi’leyah has made strides, even taking a few steps all by herself. Sadly, there are millions of children who aren’t so lucky. In fact, nearly 95% of eligible kids miss out on Early Head Start, due to lack of funding. That’s simply unacceptable, John. That’s why I’m reaching out today. Because with your help we can help even more children like Mi’leyah get the support they need to thrive. Will you donate today to amplify our advocacy for children here at home and around the world? Each year, Congress decides how much money Head Start and Early Head Start receive. And like most programs that benefit kids, there’s no highly paid army of lobbyists encouraging members of Congress to spend more money on kids who need help. It takes grassroots support from people like you to help mobilize activists to let elected officials know that programs like these are vital and deserve funding. Help us continue to be a powerful voice for kids like Mi’leyah in the U.S. and around the world by making a donation to SCAN. BONUS - all donations up to $15,000 made by the end of the year will be DOUBLED. |
