Metro Parent Readers' Fundraising Page
Project summary
Your support will help millions of hard-working people who seek to rebuild their lives and homes while also resurrecting their communities. Your donation helps open schools, start small businesses and establish peace in communities scarred by conflict. We work directly with communities to learn their most urgent needs, then collaborate with them on long-term solutions to their biggest challenges. By working together with families and local partners, we help bring about lasting change — change that helps communities emerge from turmoil and turn crisis into opportunity.
Message from Metro Parent:
Last year the staff of Metro Parent (a parenting magazine serving the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area) and its readers banded together to make a big difference in the lives of local families. We started an annual tradition with our Holiday Giving Campaign.
For our Holiday Giving Campaign this year, Metro Parent would like to make a difference, with the help of our readers, in the lives of the “poorest of the poor” overseas. We're asking readers to help families globally gain access to quality healthcare. By joining in to donate toward the purchase of a Health Clinic Mercy Kit, you'll be helping Mercy Corps build a much-needed clinic in an isolated community that will provide families and children access to the facilities, medicines and expertise they need to stay healthy.
By joining with Mercy Corps to support the construction of a health clinic in an impoverished Third World country, we are almost certainly saving lives.
The cost to fund a health clinic through Mercy Corps is $2,500. Metro Parent will match our readers’ donations up to the first $1,250.
Together, all of us can touch the lives of our needy brothers and sisters around the world.
