This Giving Tuesday, I’m supporting Save the Children, and I wanted to share why.

While looking for a meaningful cause to contribute to this year, I came across a statistic that genuinely stopped me: nearly 900,000 babies die during labor each year, most from causes that are preventable with basic care. It’s a number that’s easy to overlook until you think about what it really means: lives lost before they begin, families facing heartbreak that shouldn’t have happened.

Save the Children is one of the organizations working directly on the ground to change this. They focus on giving children the essentials that every child should have from the start: safe births, proper nutrition, access to education, and protection in places where life is anything but stable. Their work isn’t abstract. It’s clinics, teachers, food, safety, and support delivered to the children who need it most.

Donations help support efforts like:

I’m supporting them because this is the kind of impact that matters. It is practical, immediate, and rooted in giving kids a fair chance at life. If this speaks to you too, I’d be grateful if you joined me. If not, I appreciate you taking a moment to read and learn about a cause worth paying attention to.

Thank you for your time and for any support you’re able to give. And if you can’t donate right now, even passing this along to someone else helps more than you know.
