Families are breaking records. Unfortunately, not all of them are good. Support March of Dimes this Giving Day to help moms and babies who face alarming rates of maternal death and preterm birth, racial disparities, and a lack of access to healthcare. When you donate on Giving Day, you’re helping people like Erika and Kris Young, whose daughter, Sommer, only lived for two hours after complications arose during labor. Protecting the health of every family is possible—if we all do our part. Together, we can make this the best Giving Day yet. One day. One mission. One day to make a difference for every family. Donate to March of Dimes on Giving Day, August 22. https://lnkd.in/dWtqqMVw
