Shattered Dreams

The American Academy of Pediatrics sent a press release today to thousands of Pediatricians in the U.S. about the lives of millions of children.

At the International Pediatric Association Congress of Pediatrics in South Africa this month, the Pakistan Pediatric Association (PPA) reached out to the Academy American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for assistance. The AAP has been working for many years with its colleagues in Pakistan to help children and families in Pakistan.

Thanks to gifts made to the AAP Friends of Children Fund's disaster relief account, the AAP is able to pledge immediate aid to the PPA, to help children and families. The AAP Friends of Children Fund for disaster relief has already committed $10,000 for Pakistan.

Make your donations online at the Friends of Children Fund donation page. Or call 888-700-5378 and make your donation over the phone. Please direct your gift to "Friends of Children Fund -- Disaster Relief".

The AAP is racing against the clock to reach children and families in desperate need of help.

Homes swept away, 
No food,
No water,
Streams of tears,
Fear in their eyes,
Hopes and Dreams,
Shattered.
