The devastation Typhoon Haiyan left behind is much worse than originally anticipated — nearly 4 million people are left hurt, homeless and hungry. There’s so much left to do, and now you have the opporunity to give twice as much to support them. A generous friend of CMMB has agreed to match every donation from now until December 31st, up to $100,000. This means that any gift you make today will be matched, $1-for-$1, to help us respond to the crisis in the Philippines and others around the world. To date, we’ve made 11 shipments, valued at over $5 million to the Philippines — more than 5 tons of much needed medicines and medical supplies. The requests from our in-country partners haven’t stopped, and we’re doing all we can to send them the life-saving supplies they need. Please take advantage of this match opportunity and help our brothers and sisters in the Philippines who desperately need us. And please continue to pray for the children and families impacted by this devastating typhoon. ©2013 Catholic Medical Mission Board, all rights reserved | |
Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
