The famine in the Horn of Africa is probably one of the biggest crisis I will see in my lifetime....and you will see in yours. There are millions of people starving and babies by the thousands dying. I do not believe we can sit by and do nothing. Help me raise funds for desperately needed food and water.

Working at World Help, I daily hear the updates on this crisis and I would feel remiss to not try to do something to help. Will you assist me? $6,000 is needed to ship one container, I would love to provide $1,000 of that. We can do it! We must. Everyone can afford to give something. Don't get starbucks this week. Resign yourself to stay home this weekend and not go out. A tiny sacrifice like that for us is nothing. And in return we can help others LIVE. To me, it's a no-brainer.

PLEASE, on behalf of these struggling people, give a donation.

Thank you!

Crisis in the Horn of Africa!

More than 30,000 children, under the age of five, have perished in the last 90 days in southern Somalia alone.

Twelve million Somalis, Kenyans, and Ethiopians are starving due to the worst drought since the 1950s.

The U.N. reports that 600,000 children are on the brink of starvation, with little or no relief in sight. Even the most modest of estimates say that thousands will die in the coming months if conditions remain the same.

We are used to seeing television images of distressed children in need of help. It’s easy to become hardened because of the sheer magnitude of these realities. Even so, we must guard our hearts from accepting this dismal fate for the Somali people, those we are commanded to love and cherish as our neighbors and friends.

We must choose to wage battle on our collective tendency to be paralyzed by indifference, ignorance, and even the best of intentions.

Will you join us in committing to pray for the Somali people and to raise awareness of their needs? We are also asking you to give toward the cost of shipping containers of humanitarian aid to a neighboring area in Kenya, where thousands of refugees are seeking sanctuary.

Each 40-foot container costs approximately $6,000 to ship and contains 40,000 pounds of wheat, corn, nutrition-packed soup mix, and much more that can supply 240,000 life-saving meals. Think of the impact:

$1 = 40 meals
$50 = 2,000 meals
$250 = 10,000 meals
$1,000 = 40,000 meals
$6,000 = 240,000 meals

We must be bold and stand up for those without a voice.

Today, we can make a difference in the face of one of the most devastating humanitarian disasters of our time. Act now by giving to our campaign, start your own campaign, or just share with your social networks and friends.

Our goal is to provide 20 containers of food to the Horn of Africa, providing 4.8 million meals to those in desperate need! We only need $120,000 to make this a reality.

Whatever you do, join us by responding today!
