I just donated - it doesn't completely fix the ache in my heart but it's something. I felt like it wasn't enough money and I was sad I couldn't do more and that almost stopped me from doing it at all, then I thought "omg if everyone thought that then no one would donate". So I slapped some sense into myself and realized how grateful I am to be safe, fed, warm, and healthy. And, spreading this message and this awareness is also so much within my power. Please share. βοΈβ€οΈ In the words of @glennondoylemelton: Okay, beloveds, circle up. I am going to break this down as simply and clearly as I can because there is no time for fancy words. I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU ARE WATCHING ALEPPO AND LAMENTING YOUR INABILITY TO HELP- STOP LAMENTING. YOU ARE HELPING THERE. RIGHT NOW. Through Together Rising, you have given more than $2,000,000 to refugees this year. You are helping to send a mobile hospital this week that will arrive in Aleppo on Christmas Day. WE HAVE A PLAN TO DO MORE. DO NOT SHUT DOWN. STAY AWAKE, PLEASE. WE ARE THE ONES WEβVE BEEN WAITING FOR. With the funds raised this week, Together Rising will use 100% of what we receive to: β’ purchase and fully equip two ambulances with medicine and medical supplies for 6 months, and enable The White Helmets to rescue children and vulnerable people trapped in the rubble; β’ equip the mobile hospital with medicine and supplies and allow Independent Doctors Association to serve the injured and help fund the planning of the only pediatric hospital in the region; and β’ continue to fund the work of Help Refugees volunteer network devoted to delivering people to safety. You have raised $217,000 for Aleppo since Tuesday night. Please continue to give. Every penny of your tax-deductible gifts that we receive will go DIRECTLY TO AID GROUPS ON THE GROUND. Zero wasted. There is no time, or energy, or love to waste. Please read, give and share. Grateful to serve this jacked up, brutal, beautiful world alongside you. http://momastery.com/blog/2016/12/15/in-aleppo-we-are-the-ones-weve-been-waiting-for-please-read/ #Aleppo #StandWithAleppo #TogetherRising #CompassionCollective #HelpRefugees
