Saving Children from Malaria
|
 MCCLVs 2013 Global Outreach Project
Thursday, April 25th is World Malaria Day
Malaria is a leading cause of death and disease worldwide. In Africa, a child dies from malaria every 60 seconds.
Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes and a simple $5 bed net will protect up to 3 children.
Each year MCCLV seeks to make a difference and to change and improve the world in which we live. This year, we are partnering with the CDC Foundation to stop the spread of Malaria and save the lives of 100s of children.
Our goal is to raise $1500 which will provide 300 nets and save 900 children.
Received to date: $570.07 (114 nets protecting 342 children). Your gift of ANY amount is appreciated towards this goal. $20 protects 12 children $50 protects 30 children $100 protects 60 children

Pantie Raid for Mothers & their Children
|
 Mothers Day Weekend 11-12MAY
As part of our Mother's Day observance on May 11th & 12th we are collecting NEW (in the package) underwear & socks for mothers and children to be donated to SafeNest and Shade Tree. Women seeking shelter from abusive relationships often arrive with only the clothes on their backs.
(The following testimony was sent by one of our members after our 2010 Pantie Raid and was shared with her permission. Identifying information has been removed to respect her privacy.)
I want to take a moment and commend you for making the panty raid such a success! Five years ago I was a victim of domestic violence. My then husband, took me hostage in a restroom where he proceeded to beat me for 7 hours, with our 4 year old right outside the door. That same day I left. And yes, it's true when you say, "only with clothes on my back." We were homeless for two weeks. During my struggle, I remember a time when I had to choose between gassing my car or buying socks for my sons. I chose the gas because I still had to drive my sons to school and myself to work. I did seek help from the people of Safe Nest. Not only did they offer me a place to stay, they also offered me legal advice. I was fortunate enough not to stay in a woman's shelter because my good friend opened up her home to us. Yet, I am eternally grateful to Safe Nest for the help and support they gave me with my legal issues and paper work. I make it a point to donate to them every chance that I get. I thank you again for helping out such an important organization and for touching the lives of abused women and children in our community!
Respectfully,
One of your Members!
Last year, YOU made a difference
by contributing over 1,100 undergarments.
Please help again this year
as we continue to
Spread the Light &
Change the World.
