7 Charitable Mother’s Day Gift Ideas That Give Back
Apr 27, 2018
Your mom is the best. She always answers your calls when you need to vent about something and makes you your favorite food when you’re a #BackHomeBaller, and she started basically every cool fashion trend out there. There’s no question that your fave lady deserves an amazing Mother’s Day. While there are plenty of non-traditional gifts worthy of your mom, this year, consider donating to a charitable organization on her behalf or purchasing her present from a company that supports great causes — not only will she love the sentiment, but your gift will give back and make a difference.
Every Mother Counts
This organization, founded by model and activist Christy Turlington Burns, works to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for women in the US and around the world. While 99 percent of maternal deaths take place in developing countries, Every Mother Counts’ website notes that the number of women who lose their lives during childbirth in America has nearly doubled over the past 25 years. The goal of Every Mother Counts is to eradicate these preventable deaths by providing better healthcare infrastructure to places that need it most.
