Mother's Day Gift Ideas from Heifer Project International

Dear Heifer Friend,

Your mother helped make you who you are today, and Mother's Day is a special time to show your love and thanks. Here's a great way to do that: Give a gift in Mom's honor or memory to Heifer International to help mothers all over the world.

By donating one of our special "Mother's Baskets," your mom's love will be shared with other mothers from Argentina to Zimbabwe who want to care for their children the way your mother took care of you. Women like Bernadina Maria Salgado, from Nicaragua.

"Before, I had no way to help provide for my family, but today I am the breadwinner!"

Bernadina had always struggled to feed her family, especially after Hurricane Mitch destroyed her tiny community on the banks of Nicaragua's El Zopilote River.

Now, Bernadina and her family are participating in a new Heifer project, learning how to turn the hens they received from Heifer into a source of income.

And another mother, Rosa Maria Diaz Lopez, feels blessed because her well-fed children no longer get sick.

"Thanks to God they are healthy because of these chickens. With the income we receive from the sale of eggs we buy soap and things for our family."
Honor or remember your mother with a gift to Heifer International and help women like Bernadina and Rosa provide a much needed source of income and nutrition for their families.

For more than 60 years, Heifer International has provided livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of mothers all around the world who struggle daily for dependable sources of food and income. Recipients of these animals "Pass on the Gift" by giving the offspring of their livestock to others - creating an ever widening circle of hope that has benefited 38 million people since 1944. Give today to help us continue this work.
