When we bury the mother of an infant, we know a few days later we will be burying her baby.
A nursing infant cannot survive without milk. A household trying to survive on one dollar each day cannot afford even one small can of infant formula. A child may lose his life because of a simple infection that could have been cured with $2 worth of antibiotics.
The Milk for Starving Infants Fund, also called Milk & Medicine is an answer. With the provision of these simple necessities, children under age two are saved from the risk of institutionalization or death. We provide infant formula, toddler-appropriate food, and medicine as prescribed by physicians. Social workers provide prayer, counseling and emotional support to parents or guardians.
You can regularly provide this life sustaining nourishment and support for a donation of $20 per month. Just click on DONATE, then choose "Milk and Medicine" from the drop-down list. To have this gift automatically charged to your credit card each month, check "recurring billing."
