Save a life this Mother's Day


According to the National Retail Federation, some $14 billion will be spent in the United States for Mother's Day. That includes $2.9 billion in meals, $2.5 billion in jewelry and $1.9 billion in flowers. To put that sum in context, it's enough to pay for a primary school education for all 60 million girls around the world who aren't attending school. There would be enough money left over for programs to reduce deaths in childbirth by about three-quarters, saving perhaps 260,000 women's lives a year.

This year, give your Mom something truly meaningful by purchasing a beautiful gift from WWHI and, in turn, helping other mothers around the globe.

Mother's Day: Mission Accomplished


For the past couple of weeks, "Mother's Day gifts" lingered on my to-do list. Until this past weekend, when I decided to save myself some time and hassle by clicking on WWHI's Mother's Day page. I bought some beautiful (and tasty) gifts for my mom and sisters.

Check.

Ahh, I love that feeling of checking something off of my to-do list. And even more, I love the idea of giving a gift that not only pampers the amazing women in my life, but also
helps mothers survive childbirth in one of the world's poorest countries.

One of my sisters, who has four adorable little girls, had her own unique challenges giving birth to her youngest child, and I know this gift will mean the world to her.

So...what are you waiting for? Shorten your to-do list, love the women in your life, and do some good by visiting wwhi.org today.
