Billions of dollars are spent on gifts for Mother’s Day each year but despite thiscelebration of motherhood, hundreds of thousands of women worldwide die during pregnancy and childbirth.
Did you know?
• One maternal death every 90 seconds.
• 15% of all pregnancies result in complications during labor and delivery and sometimes are fatal.
• Pregnancy is the biggest killer of girls ages 15-19.
• For every woman who dies in childbirth, 20 more suffer from debilitating complications.
• We have the knowledge to prevent 90% of all maternal deaths.
Leveraging the power of social media, a group of 12 influential social media moms, including our own Julie Cole, got together to figure out how to make a difference. After a brainstorming session, Moms4Moms was born and the question was asked; what if 1% of that $14.6 billion could be given to this cause?
Consider helping by making a micro-donation of as little as $5 or donate an old cell-phone through the group Hope Phones. All funds raised will be given toEvery Mother Counts, an organization Christy Turlington started after her own home birth went awry. The organization works with maternal deaths and supports moms in several countries.

Did you know that Mabel works with camps across North America to encourage labeling? It’s one of our favourite programs!
One special camp friend we’d like you to meet is Camp Oochigeas, a camp for children with cancer. They believe each child deserves to experience the wonder of camp, and we do too!
Camp Oochigeas offers year-round fun and meaningful experiences to approximately 680 children affected by cancer each year at no cost to their families. This is all made possible by the generous support of their donors and volunteers.
Want to know what our friends at Camp Oochigeas are up to today? Follow them on Twitter!
