Dear Friend of Save the Children, Save the Children is engaged on the front lines of relief in and around Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Yet, even as we channel a remarkable outpouring of support from caring people like you into immediate, impactful assistance for Haitian children and families ... ... we have not, and will not turn away from other vulnerable children around the world. More than 24,000 children under age five will die today from preventable and treatable causes. That tragic, heartbreaking fact led me to rush you this urgent message and ask you to make a generous donation to Save the Children today. I wouldn’t ask if your help wasn’t so important – literally a matter of life and death for children in desperate need. Your kind support can help us save children by enabling our staff and programs to better provide ... Vitamin A supplements and other micronutrients to prevent blindness and early death ... Antibiotics to treat infection ... Insecticide-treated bed nets to prevent malaria ... And so much more! Your support helps us and other organizations make enormous strides toward alleviating child mortality. For example, providing immunization against diseases such as measles, pertussis and tetanus saves more than three million children’s lives each year. But with so many children still dying needlessly every day, we obviously have much more lifesaving work to do. So, please take a moment right now to support Save the Children with a tax-deductible online gift. Please don’t wait – another child dies needlessly every three seconds.
