Angelina Was Homeless, But You Are Sending Her to College

 
Angelina knew she would have to work hard to achieve her dreams. She was born in Altagracia, an impoverished batey in the Dominican Republic. A batey is a shantytown originally built for migrant sugarcane workers. Within the batey, Angelina lived with her mother and seven siblings in a tiny house.

Emergency Medical Care for Children in Need

Visibility : 
Listed

Your generous gift today will help a sick child like Amidu.

Amidu was brought to Children of the Nations’ Sierra Leone clinic with a dangerously high fever, vomiting and weak.

Tests revealed a familiar enemy: malaria.

Malaria causes fever and flu-like symptoms. Without treatment, it can lead to seizures, organ failure, and even death—and children, like Amidu, are particularly at risk.

Malaria is treatable. But it’s hard for a child living in poverty to get the medical care they need.
