> Dear Maria,
> 
> Looking at her two-month-old baby boy, Abdulahadi, Dije tries not to think of her three other children — infants who died during previous food disasters in the Sahel region of Africa. Sadly, Dije knows the signs of malnutrition all too well: diarrhea, trouble swallowing and crying for more milk.
> 
> But Dije has no milk to give her son. "We need help," she told CARE. "I don't want to lose another child."
> 
> Unfortunately, Dije's story is not unique — she is one of millions of people around the world facing crushing poverty that's made all the worse by disaster.
> 
> In more than 80 countries, CARE sees the dire consequences of global poverty in the faces of the people we serve. That's why we share stories like Dije's with you — to put a face to our work and let you learn more about the people your gift has touched. 
> 
> As the food crisis in the Sahel region of Africa worsens, nearly 10 million people are in danger of hunger, malnutrition and even death. Can we count on you to help save lives and create a brighter, healthier future for all?
> 
> Today, like most every day during the last three months, Dije and her extended family of 14 will share a lone bowl of millet mixed with goat's milk and water to make it stretch farther.
> 
> Dije and her family are not alone in this crisis. People all across the Sahel are at risk as a result of failed harvests and soaring food prices. In fact, the food crisis is already worse than those the region experienced in 2005 and 2010 — and it's not expected to get better soon.
> 
> When families cannot access food, children are often the first to suffer. Without healthy, nutritious food, children get sick, lose weight and are more likely to perish. Today, children in the Sahel show the signs of malnutrition, including protruding bellies and orange hair, indications that they are not getting the vital nutrients they need.
> 
> CARE is on the ground responding to the crisis. We've started a cash-for-work program in partnership with the World Food Programme to help families buy food, and we've launched an emergency food distribution program. However, there is so much more that needs to be done.
> 
> Every dollar that you give today can help save and change lives in the Sahel and other poor regions of the world. Your gift to CARE can help feed a hungry child, help mothers become more self-reliant and help whole communities recover from disaster and adapt to a changing future.
> 
> Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many around the world.
> 
> Sincerely,
>
