“Since losing my father this past September, I have come to realize how painful mortality is. I wanted to find an organization that promoted life and family. I could find no better organization than Save A Mother–which works to protect this ideal from ground zero, through mother and infant. I had been aware of high maternity death rates in parts of India, but only after absorbing the statistics from Save A Mother did I come to realize how serious an issue it is.”
