2023 Holiday Appeal: What’s in a Wish List?

Written by

What’s In A Wish List?

This is the season for wishes. Eagerly anticipating the holiday, children wish for new toys and treats; and mothers wish for their children to be happy and healthy. We live in a world filled with abundance-but not for everyone.

In Haiti, the maternal mortality rate is the highest in the Western Hemisphere (1 in 80 pregnant women die in childbirth), and 75% of childhood deaths occur before a child’s first birthday. A pregnant woman wishes for a safe birth and for her baby to be born healthy.  

And all children (and their parents) wish to feel better when they are sick or well-nourished when they are hungry. Simple wishes, not so simple solutions. But Hands Up for Haiti is there to help.

And YOU CAN HELP make these WISHES COME TRUE.

Our Holiday Campaign is focused on the programs that provide critical lifesaving care for mothers and their children.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST CAMPAIGN: $100,000 GOAL

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR CAMPAIGN FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST with a special gift this holiday season and help fulfill the wishes of mothers and their children by reaching our goal of $100,000.  Your gift will go directly to our children’s programs for well child care and for the prevention and treatment of malnutrition. And if we can reach our goal with your help, we will have secure funding for six months. 

During this holiday season, you can also make a gift in the name of a loved one, who will receive a heartfelt acknowledgement from Hands Up for Haiti.
