Subject: Urgent: Keep the Critical Funding for the Healthy Start Program
Dear [Representative's Name],
As a concerned citizen from Louisiana, I am writing regarding the at-risk funding for the Healthy Start program. This vital program is currently facing potential budget cuts that would severely impact communities across our state, including Greater Baton Rouge.Healthy Start plays a crucial role in combating infant mortality rates and served over 700 families in our community. Through Family Road of Greater Baton Rouge, this program provides essential services including prenatal care, case management, parenting education, and breastfeeding support to vulnerable families.It's important to note that Healthy Start complements, not duplicates, the MIECHV program by providing direct, tailored support to local families. If Congress fails to continue funding this program, it could have devastating consequences, particularly as our communities continue to recover from economic challenges.I urge you to support continued funding for this critical program. The health and wellbeing of families throughout Louisiana depend on it.Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name][Your Contact Information]
