“Our mom is our heart, and our home. She’s 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine, she needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer,” the Today show co-host, 54, said as she read from a prepared statement.

In the gut-wrenching video, Savannah and her elder sister, Annie, were reading from written statements where they thanked supporters for the “prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy.”

“We feel them and we continue to believe that she feels them too,” Savannah said.

Annie added, “We are human, just normal human people who need their mom. Mama, mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”

‘READY TO TALK’

Savannah addressed the online reports about a ransom note from her mother’s alleged kidnappers, saying the family was “ready to talk.”

“We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family we are doing everything that we can,” Savannah said.

“We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated.

“We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her.

“We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen.

“Please, reach out to us.”
