Pocket Change Can Save A Life...Literally.

It's hard to believe in the world we live in that, on average, 800 kids die every hour from parasites. That's 4 Million per year. The reassuring thing is, there's a cure and it's an inexpensive cure too.

We are teaming up with World Concern on Thursday. It's an organization dedicated to saving the lives of these children. One pill costs 44 cents and it cures a child for an entire year.

Forty-four dollars will cure 100 kids. This is why we are asking for your help. We'll talk more about how parasites are caused and what they actually do to these young bodies. Many times, the parents don't even know something is wrong until they see their child's distended stomachs and see their discomfort. As a parent, I know there's nothing is worse than seeing your child in pain and the helplessness that you feel. Here's a chance to do something to make it better.  Please join us and give what you can to help.

Donate online here or just call 800-700-8084. Thank you.

~Rebecca---News Anchor and parent.
