Emergency aid is needed in order to save thousands of starving children in Ethiopia

Time is as precious as the lives your quick action today will save!

The deepening food crisis in Ethiopia may not have reached the headlines but it is rapidly approaching staggering proportions in certain regions of Ethiopia.

It breaks my heart to tell you that even as you read this urgent appeal for help, many children and elderly men and women will have breathed their last, labored breath.

MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE RIGHT AWAY!

We're already sending emergency funds that are being used to supply therapeutic formulas for babies and children and emergency food rations for adults.

But much more needs to be done and it needs to be done right away if precious lives are to be saved...

- 4.6 million people are facing starvation right now

- 126,000 children could die if more help doesn't arrive in the coming days

- More than 6 million people could be facing starvation as the crisis deepens

The government of Ethiopia is using its recently established emergency network to do what it can, but they've acknowledged that the scope of the crisis is such that more help is urgently needed.

It is absolutely heartbreaking to know that families in this region are at significant risk because of factors beyond anyone's direct control.

Consecutive failed rains, failed harvests, and as much as a 150% increase in food prices over the past 6 months due to world-wide shortages of staple foods, are putting lives at risk.

YOUR GIFT TODAY WILL SAVE LIVES!

Friend, I'm asking you to send an emergency gift of $50, $75, $100, or even more if you can, right away.

Your gift will provide life-saving therapeutic formula for babies and children, medical attention and emergency food rations for families who will not survive without your help.

Every moment lost is a life lost as the situation worsens. Friend, please, do not delay in sending in your emergency gift.
