Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

I've been associated with BELLAS since Sally was a toddler and can testify to the success of peer counseling in helping breastfeeding moms.See the sidebar to find out more about BELLAS.

In this economy, knowing your donation is helping the least and littlest is crucial, I know. By giving to BELLAS , you will help a tiny newborn to enjoy the lifelong benefits of breastmilk that should be every child's birthright!

"Breastfeeding is a natural "safety net" against the worst effects of poverty. If the child survives the first month of life (the most dangerous period of childhood) then for the next four months or so, exclusive breastfeeding goes a long way toward canceling out the health difference between being born into poverty and being born into affluence .... It is almost as if breastfeeding takes the infant out of poverty for those first few months in order to give the child a fairer start in life and compensate for the injustice of the world into which it was born."

--James P. Grant, former Executive Director, UNICEF
