Giving Tuesday is TOMORROW (Nov. 28): Don’t Forget to Make an Impact
In our previous blog post, “The Empty Chair at Thanksgiving: A Call to Action on Giving Tuesday”, we painted a vivid picture of the empty chair that symbolizes the thousands of women lost to maternal mortality. We highlighted the stark reality of maternal mortality, shared alarming statistics, and emphasized the importance of Giving Tuesday as an opportunity to make a real difference in the fight against this silent epidemic. Now, as Giving Tuesday is fast approaching, (November 28, 2023), we want to remind you not to forget the power you hold in your hands to create a positive change.
Why Your Donation Matters
1. Lives Are at Stake: The statistics we shared are not just numbers; they represent real lives, real families, and real pain. Your donation can directly impact the lives of women and families in need by providing access to essential health care, education, and resources.
2. A Chance to Eradicate Maternal Mortality: Giving Tuesday is not just another day for charitable giving; it's a global movement with the power to change the world. Your contribution can be the turning point that brings us closer to eradicating maternal mortality and health inequity. No one should have to face the tragedy of an empty chair at their Thanksgiving table.
