Reminder to send a gift for Mother's Day

Honor the special women in your life with a unique gift that will bring hope to the world's poorest and most neglected people.

Good, Mother's Day in the United States is May 8. Honor the special women in your life with a unique gift that will bring hope to the world's poorest and most neglected people. Now, for a limited time, you can send a special e-card with an original painting by Carter Center founder and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. MAKE A GIFT IN HONOR OF YOUR MOTHER WITH A SPECIAL E-CARD »   Your Gift Will Help People Like Selima Selima Begum is the mother of a 7-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. They live in Tuker Bazar Union, Bangladesh. Since her divorce, Selima struggled to provide necessary medical care for her son, at times having to forgo routine medical treatments because of a lack of money. She knew disability allowances existed, but the process for requesting one was opaque to her. After several years of being unable to find this information, she lost hope of ever receiving the assistance. Then she began to attend meetings sponsored by The Carter Center. The meetings teach women how to request information from their government, information that can improve their lives and help lift communities out of poverty. Support like yours helped Selima learn how to access government aid. And today, her son receives regular health care. She says, "If women have information, they can do anything… They will be able to change their lives." Please make a gift now. Help change the lives of women like Selima » With your gift, The Carter Center can address some of the world's most difficult problems, going where no one else will go and undertaking what no one else will do. You will help bring families, communities, and entire nations sustainable solutions to end suffering from disease, conflict, and human rights abuses. GIVE THE GIFT OF HOPE »   Thank you for making this Mother's Day extra special for the important women in your life and for the grateful people you will have indelibly touched with your kindness.
