  全世界每年有35万妇女因难产而死亡,母爱如山称她们中90%的人都可以避免死亡。

  Every Mother Counts notes $15 billion is spent on Mother's Day gifts in the United States annually and is trying to raise 1 percent of that amount to help save mothers' lives。

  母爱如山是一家维护妇女健康和合法权益的慈善组织,据它们统计,美国人在每年的母亲节这一天会花150亿美元来购买礼物。它们希望能募集到这些款项的百分之一来拯救更多母亲的生命。
