The Most Important Post I’ll Ever Write

Hello friends, I know it’s only a few days from Christmas and we’re all running around frantically trying to finish our to-do lists, but can I ask you for 5 minutes of your time?

I just wanted to make sure you’ve heard about the astounding thing that’s happening here.

Some of my favorite people are behind it and although they have a huge goal, they are asking so little of you.

Here’s the deal.

Their goal is to raise one million dollars to feed, clothe, shelter, and save refugee mothers, fathers, and children.

The maximum donation is $25. Donations of $5, $10 or $15 dollars will change the world… and every penny we receive will go directly to refugee aid.

Did you catch that? There is a maximum donation of only $25. Why? Because they’re out to prove that small gifts with great love can do amazing things.

I’ve made my maximum donation (and checked the box to make it a monthly recurrence), will you do this one small thing this Christmas too?

Elizabeth Gilbert had this to say about the project (and it will break your heart):

“I want to tell you exactly why I’ve gathered together with my friends Brene Brown, Cheryl Strayed, Rob Bell and Glennon Doyle Melton to try to meet the audacious goal of raising a million dollars for this emergency.

I’m doing it because of this quote, which came to my attention through an organization called HELP REFUGEES, whom we are partnering with, and who are working on the ground in Greece, right at the heart of this crisis.

This quote came from a volunteer doctor they are working with, who ended a recent phone call from the island of Lesvos with this desperate plea:

“There are thousands of children here and their feet are literally rotting, they can’t keep dry, they have high fevers and they’re standing in the pouring rain for days on end. You have one month, guys, and then all these people will be dead“

I can’t know about this situation, and not do something about it.

I can’t know about children facing the winter — cold, homeless and hungry and with rotting feet — and not do something about it.

I am doing this because of kids like the beautiful little boy in this photo — because they need our help.

I know you want to help, too…and you can!

Not a penny of it will be wasted. This is where your money is going:

BLANKETS. BABY CARRIERS. LIFE JACKETS. FOOD. WARM CLOTHING. FLOOD LIGHTS (for pulling people out of the water at night). SHELTERS. LIFE. This money is going to to life — to save human lives.

Like: IMMEDIATELY, in real time. You have no idea how efficient these people are, who we are working on the ground, helping out. They’re amazing.

Let’s save more lives.

Let’s keep going, guys. Let’s use our holiday hearts full of love to show up for some of the most desperate people in the world right now.

Let’s make a difference.

Keep donating, keep giving, keep caring. Most of all, keep SHARING these posts, and inviting the big-hearted people in your lives to stand with love.”
