Dear Michelel T, Two years ago, we shared Gedion’s tragic story with you, our global family. Just hours after he was born, his mother started to hemorrhage, and on the way to the hospital - miles away - she died. In places like rural Kenya, when mothers die, their babies often also die. Without their mother’s milk, they have nothing to eat. Gedion desperately needed formula, but his father couldn’t afford it. Consumed by grief, Gedion's father worried he would soon lose his baby, too. Your love and generosity helped ensure this didn't happen. When we shared Gedion’s story, you responded. Gedion got the formula he needed to survive. He started to gain weight, he stopped crying all the time, and day by day, he got stronger and healthier. Today, Gedion is a healthy, happy toddler. He loves following his grandma around the house and chasing after his older siblings. "Seeing my Gedion grow every day is a gift from God. Only God can pay you back for your kindness." - Sera, Gedion's grandma This is what your love makes possible. Your generosity means that babies like Gedion get a chance at a healthy life. It means access for mothers to pre- and post-natal care and safe deliveries by trained medical professionals. And it means regular check-ups for babies to ensure they are growing up healthy and strong. You can mean the difference between life and death. With the love of his family and from our global CMMB community, Gedion is alive and healthy, against all odds. Together, let's spread our love, grace and compassion so that more babies like Gedion survive.   DONATE NOW Sincerely, President and CEO CMMB/Healthier Lives Worldwide   PS: Gedion is one of the lucky ones—he likely would not be alive today without generous friends like you. Your gift can ensure more babies get the healthcare they desperately need, when they need it the most.
