“I am very fortunate. I have a wonderful family, good friends, and loved ones around me. I am grateful for the support and encouragement I receive. But in the grand scale of things, I am just part of the lucky few. Millions of people suffer. It is my passion and my responsibility to help those in need. Save a Mother gives us the vehicle to serve others by assisting improvised places and developing health care solutions. Together, if everyone can recognize just how lucky they are, we can make a difference. We can take a leap towards the betterment of society. We can, one by one, greet a healthy and innocent child into this beautiful world.“
I am a senior in Metea Valley High School in Illinois. Currently, I participate in various community service organizations. I am also part of the Executive Board of Key Club, a local community service organization. I am very grateful to participate in Save a Mother and take a step towards my ambition.
