Dairy Farm to Support Street Children! For the past few months I've been working with a small organization located in Pajian Village, Lahore, Pakistan. They are cut off from the world for a couple of reasons: 1) A lot of people don't trust organizations in Pakistan due to corruption in the government, etc. 2) They are in a rural part of Pakistan, where things like trash, sewer, and many other basic amenities don't even exist! Trash lines the streets, and many people and parents are drug/alcohol addicted, leaving children to wander the streets digging through trash to find food to eat. The organization I have been working with started and launched a free school program for these children, to get them off the streets! They have been running for the last few years now. The Founder, Noreen Rehmat, quit her job to start the organization, and spent her life savings to provide for these children. But donations have been intermittent, and it is quite literally "feast or famine" based on donations that come in to support these children. Over the past few months Noreen and I devised a strategy to help her organization become self-sufficient. The project is that of setting up a dairy farm on the land she already owns, from which the milk can be sold, as well as given to the children, to provide a steady stream of income and nourishment to the organization. (You can see the project details here: https://lnkd.in/g3YM2wQe) As of the time of this post, The organization has raised $1,020 of the $7,000 they need to fund the project. To my entire network: If each one of you donated just $0.75, this project would be completely funded, creating a self-sustaining relief organization in rural Pakistan that would help hundreds of children per year escape homelessness, poverty, abuse, neglect, sex-trafficking, slavery, and more. Some of you won't donate, some of you won't even see this post. But to those who will: Please give what you can. The goal is $7,000 but truly that is the bare minimum. Every penny counts, and on behalf of those who will make this project a reality, I just want to say: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! If you have any questions about this project or the organization, DM me or post in the comments below and I will do my best to answer! #TCS #ThoughtCartographyStudios #GlobalImpact

 📣CALLING ALL RIVERSIDERS TO HELP 💡On behalf of the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce's Leadership Riverside Class of 2024, we invite you to join us in supporting a transformative project that will greatly benefit our community: Riverside's First Tool Library. This groundbreaking initiative, integrated within the City of Riverside's library system, will empower residents by providing equitable access to a wide range of tools and resources. Whether it's for home improvement, gardening, or DIY projects, the Tool Library will serve as a vital resource for individuals and families, fostering a spirit of collaboration, sustainability, and self-sufficiency in our community. Learn more and donate now: https://lnkd.in/d3GK5mrH This Helps Riverside Residents in Many Ways: 🔨 Empowerment Through Accessibility: Many Riverside residents may have the skills and desire to undertake home improvement projects, start a garden, or repair items themselves, but lack the financial resources to purchase the necessary tools. The Tool Library will bridge this gap by offering free or low-cost access to these essential tools, enabling everyone in our community to take on projects that improve their living conditions and quality of life. 🔨 Promoting Sustainability: By sharing tools, we reduce the need for individual ownership, which in turn decreases waste and promotes a more sustainable approach to consumption. 🔨 Building Community Connections: The Tool Library will be more than just a place to borrow tools; it will be a community hub where residents can exchange ideas, share knowledge, and support one another. 🔨 Supporting Economic Resilience: In times of economic uncertainty, having access to tools can be a crucial factor in maintaining or improving one’s home, starting a small business, or acquiring new skills. Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. By contributing to the Riverside Tool Library, you are not just donating to a project—you are investing in the future of our community. Your generosity will help ensure that everyone in Riverside, regardless of their financial means, can access the tools they need to improve their homes, start new projects, and build a stronger, more connected community. 🌟Together, we can build something truly special. 🌟 P.S.

Starting today, early giving for #SOLAGivingDay is underway, and your generosity can make a real difference in the lives of children across South Louisiana. With summer break approaching, many families are faced with a concerning question: Without school meals, how will we feed our kids? In South Louisiana, one in seven families and one in five children experience food insecurity. This isn't just a statistic—it's a reality that's hitting close to home. Second Harvest is gearing up to tackle this surge in hunger by doubling our efforts to feed children during these critical months. But this effort isn't something we can achieve alone—we need you. By donating early to #SOLAGivingDay, you can provide a lifeline to those families who won't receive additional help this summer. Imagine this—every single dollar you contribute can help provide three wholesome meals. That's the power of #SOLAGiving in action! Don't wait until May 2 to join us in ensuring no child goes hungry this summer. Give now at https://lnkd.in/gTsWD6Y4 #NOSUMMERHUNGER #FeedTheFuture #SOLAGivingDay

October 6, 2024 is the NYC Chapter Out of Darkness Walk. It will start the NYC Seaport Pier 16 & 17 in the Seaport District. The event opens at 10AM. The walk starts at 11:30AM Many many of you helped last year with donations to my fund raising. I'm asking again if you can help prevent a suicide and support research into suicide. Our farmers are struggling greatly. Here is why donating to AFSP can make a huge difference. Farmers have a suicide rate much higher than the general population, with some estimates in the United States as high as three times the national average. Other studies have identified environmental factors that put farmers at elevated risk of suicide. Zanchi et al found that pesticide exposure may exacerbate depression, impulsivity, and suicidal ideation, with implications that exposure to pesticides may be a contributing factor to farmers’ poor mental health and thus increase the risk of suicide. Firearms, which are often involved in suicides, are common in farm environments. It is, therefore, not surprising that this environmental hazard is very frequently involved with suicides within the farming population. Thank for considering a donation and please share this. #suicideprevention

Let's celebrate Arizona Gives Day! Arizona is home to more than 20,000 nonprofits providing services we rely on every day, and Arizona Gives Day was created to both strengthen and sustain Arizona's nonprofit community. While the platform is available for giving year-round, the 24-hour day of giving raises awareness, connects the public with businesses, and increases financial support for these important - and often critical - organizations. The organizations participating are more than "charity." Collectively, Arizona's nonprofits constitute a powerful economic engine. This is a great opportunity to engage with your favorite causes. Want to empower at-risk foster youth? Grow the foster network of your local animal rescue? Deliver critical supplies to homeless individuals? You can even choose a category like human services, animals, environment, and more to choose exactly who you want to support on April 2. Check out all 1,000+ organizations to support at azgives.org and donate to your passion!

These are always some of my favourite stories. The ones where young Canadians start to care about ending poverty. They remind me of when I was 13 years old, asking my teacher how I can raise money to help kids around the world. The way we respond to kids' curiosities about the world matters. "Yes, you can make a difference!" is a response that could change a child's worldview and even how they view themselves. That's why this story about a preschool teacher in Vernon, BC, inspires me. When I was 13, my teacher responded with, "Yes, you can do something to make a difference." Her response led to a passion for learning about the world and a desire to use my skills to impact others. Which, ultimately, led to why I use my passion for communications and marketing in the non-profit sector today. Check out how these preschoolers made a difference and learned empathy in the process ⬇️
