After reading the NY Times article, "How to change a life for 50 cents", I was moved to an understanding that a modest donation on my part could help 50 people be dewormed. As a senior citizen in North Carolina, my finances aren't huge, but I am so grateful to realize I could make a small difference in countries where elephantiasis is rampant.
I challenge everyone to consider making a donation that can make a huge difference in a person's life.
Thank you, Hellen Keller International, for helping those who can't help themselves.
