The
American Foundation for Children with AIDS has joined the 2009
America's Giving Challenge presented by Parade Magazine and the Case
Foundation. Winning either the daily or total challenge will allow
AFCA to help even more HIV+ children and their HIV+ guardians in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
The
Challenge is quite simple: the organization which receives the most
daily donations (1 per person) will get a $1000 grant for that day,
plus the donations they received during the day. The organization that
receives the most donations (1 per person per day is allowed) from now
until November 6th will receive a $50,000 grant.
With $50,000, AFCA can provide the following:
A month of nutritional support for 800 children
Treated mosquito nets for 42 children
A year of daily anti-retroviral and related medices for 25 kids
A year of twice-daily antibiotics to keep full blown AIDS at bay for 200 children
Medical supplies and equipment to help thousands of people
Please make a $10 donation by visiting http://apps.facebook.com/causes/3026.
This will be considered a "unique" donation and can be done by any
person once a day. The amount of the donation is not as important as
the amount of donations made. So, please tell your friends about this
Challenge and ask them to give $10 by clicking here. Then, ask them to tell their friends. Between us all, we can make a world of difference!
It is that simple. But, it is that life-changing for the children.
