About a month ago, I blogged about the Global Giving project BlogHer was running through Mother’s Day to help save impoverished women and children’s lives. I announced that I would donate 50% of my sales from my on-line store, Little Pumpkin, Sweet Pea Designs from that post to today, Mother’s Day to the project.
While the sales weren’t as high as I would have liked- :-), I was able to donate double what I initally thought I could. Thank you, thank you to everyone who supported this idea, proposed by Amy from Crunchy Domestic Goddess, and a BlogHer Contributing Editor.
I was torn on which project to donate to, so I ended up donating to two: I donated to Help Afgan Women Deliver Healthy Babies Safely, and to the Mother & Child Health Clinic in Rural Nepal.
As I wrote before, I feel so blessed to have been born in a country where I don’t have to worry about having access to basic health care. As I celebrated Mother’s Day today, it really struck me how many less fortunate women and children never even get a chance to have a basic start in life, and have safe, and accessible health care.
You can still make a donation to these projects, by clicking the links above. The projects still need your help. The Nepal Mother & Child Clinic is only 7.8% funded, and the Afgan Women Baby Project is only 2.3% funded. Any amount- as big or as little as you can give will help.
