How does Monthly Giving Work?

Birth Defects are Common, Costly, and Critical

Become a part of the Monthly Miracle Network and start with a monthly donation of $5 or more. You can change or cancel your monthly donation at any time.

Birth defects are common

Every 4 1/2 minutes, a baby is born with a birth defect in the United States. Birth defects affect 1 in every 33 babies born in the United States each year. That translates into about 120,000 babies.

Birth defects are costly

Each year, total hospital costs for U.S. children and adults with birth defects exceed $23 billion, not including outpatient care or many provider charges.

Birth defects are critical

Birth defects cause 1 in every 5 deaths during the first year of life. Birth defects are critical conditions that can cause lifelong challenges.

Birth defects affect us all. What effect will you have on birth defects?

Transform a Life

*Colors may vary

Transform a child’s life. Give now.

Without corrective surgery, birth defects can endanger a child’s health and future. Give today to provide a free surgery that can change a waiting child’s life forever. When you donate minimum of $10 monthly, you’ll receive a canvas tote bag to show you our appreciation.
