“Sometimes it is easy to forget that some things that seem routine in our country are not available in others.This organization is an important reminder that everyone has a social responsibility to help the less fortunate. Save A Mother is an amazing group that gives women the power of knowledge in relation to their health care and provides their communities with the resources to take care of them. It is encouraging to see that Save A Mother has already made such a large impact in a short period of time. Save A Mother will continue to change lives and I am excited to be a part of it!”
I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Media Studies and a minor in Political Science. I hope to continue to work for non-profits doing marketing and public relations work as a career. My media experience will help me effectively spread awareness about the importance of Save A Mother’s cause.
