Subject: Urgent: Restore Funding for Healthy Start Program
Dear [Representative's Name],
As a concerned citizen from Louisiana (or your location),
I am writing to express my alarm over the recent defunding of the Healthy Start program. Healthy Start is vital in combating rising infant mortality rates and served 632 individuals in our community alone in 2023. It complements, not duplicates, the MIECHV program by providing direct, tailored support to local families.The elimination of its funding could have devastating consequences, particularly as we recover from the pandemic and economic downturn.I urge you to work towards reinstating funding for this critical program. Our community's health and wellbeing depend on it. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
