Time to wheel out the quintessential philanthropy valentine again, I guess:

Roses are red,🌹

So viele haben weder Zeit noch Geld noch Gesundheit, um "Hoffnung zu geben".
Sie brauchen UNS, seien wir für sie da, packen wir es an.

Wie ihr seht, meine Akkus füllen sich wieder nach furchtbaren Monaten mit mieser Gesundheit.
Aber ich lasse es langsam angehen - GEHT auch nicht anders :)

Learning the joy and impact of #giving during December.

What a great and lovely idea by @robdyson.bsky.social
1st December is arriving, and this year we bought an inexpensive box calendar (TKMaxx) and put a small Celebrations sweet in each compartment. In every other drawer is a note with a microdonation to a local charity, & a line about how the money helps. Son is learning about giving from an early age.
