"Your gift will be MATCHED" Joia Mukherjee, Partners In Health of Boston, Massachusetts, United States for Sunday, 27 December 2015
Here are some facts that haunt me:
Starvation leaves 1 in 5 Haitian kids stunted. Nearly 2 out of 3 Haitian mothers deliver babies outside of safe clinics. Diseases like diarrhea, pneumonia, and malaria are fatal in Haiti—and curable here in the U.S.
The explanation is simple: Poverty runs rampant in Haiti. Poor people get sick more often. And, when they get sick, they're more likely to die. Medical care exists, just not in poor communities. Poverty makes you sick.
If this injustice makes YOU sick, Gary, give $15 today and your gift will be MATCHED—bringing twice the care to families who suffer in Haiti and around the world.

It makes ME sick that illnesses as simple as diarrhea can be a death sentence for kids living in poverty.
That mothers give birth alone, risking death and disability for themselves and their babies.
That people have no food to eat—and live every day with starvation's gnawing pain.
Your gift today will do twice as much in all the places we work. It will save lives.
Please give now. Lives depend on it.
Together, we've already brought so much health care to Haiti, and saved so many lives. But today, we have a chance to do even more.
