The document discusses the issue of people not donating to help starving children despite constant media messages encouraging donations. It notes that people often think someone else will help, but if everyone thinks that way then no one will help. The document argues people should feel a sense of urgency to help starving kids even without seeing them in person. It also notes that charities use images of innocent babies to elicit emotions from viewers and stir the public to help. Finally, it suggests that even small donations from many people could greatly help thousands of starving children worldwide.

Hope has the power to change everything.
Poverty, disease, oppression . . . they steal everything away from you, including the ability to hope.

But we were created for so much more than just surviving.
We have been given the promise of hope. World Help believes all people matter to God and are designed to be a part of His redemptive story.
Hope is meant to be shared. Gifts of Hope was created to strategically meet physical needs so doors can be opened to meet spiritual needs.
Simply put, providing help for today means giving the gift of hope for tomorrow. We’ve been given a gift that has the power to change everything.
