i was sitting here feeling a wee bit sorry for myself since we have been experiencing one setback after another in buying a house & come september 30th there is a distinct possibility of being somewhat homeless & pregnant.

but when i was reading about the starved for attention film, i thought to myself ‘get over it now’.

please sign the petition - it only takes a moment of your time & costs you nothing but not doing it may cost these malnourished patients their lives ….

doctorswithoutborders:

At our clinic in Djibouti, doctors and nurses scramble to treat a never-ending influx of young malnourished patients. In the Starved for Attention film “Frustration,” Marcus Bleasdale documents clinic workers speaking about the successes and frustrations of their work.

This is one of 195 million stories of malnutrition. Sign the petition to help us rewrite the story.
