.@LFR_INTL One of the best programs that I support just had funding suspended due to the USAID shutdown, if you've made good money this year from the markets consider giving back.

I'll 1:1 match any donations -- they need $65k to operate for the year. https://t.co/SiDXimyjDS

A powerful reminder from Dr. Atul Gawande. Despite the loss of USAID funding, our work continues—and we need your support. Visit our site to make a tax-deductible donation to LFR. Every gift keeps this mission alive.

EMS is crucial for public health globally, yet many low- and middle-income countries lack sustainable systems. Community-based initiatives are saving thousands of lives annually, bridging critical resource gaps. Timely emergency care is a universal right. #EMS #PublicHealth
