Don't forget: 2X Flash Match on now!! [View Online]( {NAME}, Congress doesn’t want you to read about this. U.S. House leadership just proposed slashing the U.S. foreign assistance budget that puts real lives on the line. This is a teeny tiny budget (less than 1% of the federal budget) with a gigantic impact on the real lives of women and girls, families displaced by disaster, and children suffering from malnutrition. Not on CARE’s watch, and not on yours. Fight for lifesaving assistance for millions – [your CARE Action gift is matched 2X this weekend only.]( – Anne Myers, Associate Vice President for U.S. Advocacy [2x Flash Match while it lasts!]( [CARE Action]( {NAME}, Congress doesn't want you to read about this. What: The U.S. House Appropriations Committee has proposed up to 11% in cuts to U.S. foreign assistance, which has proven critical to saving millions of lives every year and building stronger communities. At a time when parts of the world are on the brink of famine and facing unrelenting crises, Congress could make a decision that cuts millions of lives short. Tiny budget, BIG problem: U.S. foreign assistance funding is tiny: Only 1% of the total U.S. federal budget. That’s just one penny on the federal dollar. Yet this teeny tiny budget funds poverty-fighting programs, health solutions for deadly diseases, and food aid. An 11% cut could mean the difference between life and death for real people. What we must do: This proposal will go to the rest of the House next – if it’s approved, millions of lives will be on the line. [Not on our watch, not on yours.]( CARE advocates are doing everything we can to stop Congress from making this decision. We need your help! [This Weekend Only: 2X Match]( Real life. Real people. Real impact. U.S. foreign assistance makes a profound difference for mothers and their babies – over the past six decades, global maternal and child mortality rates have dropped dramatically thanks to these investments. “Take my baby, mama. I’m going to die.” These were the last words that Isatu Jalloh, 43, heard from her 21-year-old daughter, Kadiatu. Kadiatu died from complications after giving birth to her first child in a small village in Sierra Leone, which has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. In 2017, the chances of dying during childbirth were 1 in 14 in Sierra Leone. Today, thanks to improvements in health policy and infrastructure, that chance is 1 in 139. [Kadiatu is why we need strong U.S. foreign aid.]( Your gift to CARE Action makes 2X the difference for families and children suffering from poverty, hunger, and war right now.
