Urgent Update: Today, our lives have been shattered by a devastating incident. Warplanes mercilessly targeted the seven-story residential building, "Al-Salam Home 6 Building," which I call my home. After warplanes targeted my apartment in the same building earlier, several months ago. The aftermath is heart-wrenching - the building has been completely destroyed. I had only been living in this building for a year, and now my neighbors and I find ourselves grappling with the harsh reality. Our dreams, the roof over our heads, and our hopes have been demolished in an instant. It feels like everything we have worked for has been torn apart. The impact goes beyond the physical destruction; it carries a heavy emotional toll. We find ourselves burdened with debts and instalments that we were yet to pay, adding to our already overwhelming challenges. This ordeal has left us devastated, helpless, and uncertain about the future. In moments like these, we must come together as a community. Let us extend our support, empathy, and solidarity to my family. Together, we can lend a helping hand, rebuild shattered lives, and restore hope amidst the darkness. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Share this post to raise awareness and encourage others to stand with us. Let us unite and demonstrate that even in the face of adversity, compassion and resilience prevail.

Exciting news in the philanthropy world! Renowned entrepreneur Dick Smith has made a generous commitment to donate his $300 energy rebate announced in the Federal Budget this week to the Salvation Army, urging fellow millionaires to follow suit. Dick Smith's message is clear and inspiring: "Not all of us need that money. There are millions of Australians that are doing OK. Donate the money to an important charity and that means the money won't be wasted." In a time where every little bit helps, this gesture of kindness demonstrates a powerful way to make a significant impact. This act of generosity can serve as a reminder of the impact we can have when we redirect resources to where they are most needed. So many Australian families, including kinship and foster care households face significant financial challenges daily. For carers, additional financial support really does go a long way, grants for the purchase of items for the children and young people in their care can mean the world, especially when the cost of living is so high. Through our fundraising at OzChild we can help with the costs of tutoring, counselling, car seats, and even prescription glasses for kids – practical items that make caring a little bit easier. But we can’t do that alone. No not-for-profit organisation can, we rely on the generosity of others to make it possible for us to help lighten the load for families. Let’s join forces to make a difference! I encourage everyone who can, to consider this impactful choice. Whether it’s a donation to the Salvation Army, OzChild or another charity close to your heart, let’s turn our rebates into a collective effort for good. #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #GivingBack #CommunitySupport

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. Please donate what you can. Did you know? The construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates among professions — with the rate among male construction workers 75% higher than men in the general population. 6,000 construction workers died by suicide in 2022 and increase from 2021.

The Heart Behind CYcrds™'s Social Commitment Every business has its 'why.' Mine was born from a promise made on one of the most profound days of my life - at my four-and-a-half-year-old son's funeral. On that day, amidst those who gathered to say goodbye, someone approached me about helping children with special needs in orphanages. Having worked to change laws in the Netherlands for physically challenged children like my son, I made a heartfelt commitment: when I would be in a position to help, I would. Today, that promise lives on through CYcrds™. With every deck sold, we pledge €1 to support children's charities, focusing specifically on children with special needs in orphanages. This isn't just a charitable gesture - it's a testament to the power of turning personal purpose into meaningful action. When you choose CYcrds™, you become part of this promise, helping us create ripples of positive change for children who need it most. Some promises change us forever. This one shaped our entire business model. #SocialImpact #Purpose #Promise #ChangeForGood"

Dear friends, Today, I reach out to you with a heartfelt plea for help. Madalina, a brave mother of three, is in a desperate situation and needs our support. After several surgeries, Madalina has lost one of her legs and is now confined to a wheelchair. These tragic events have placed her in a difficult position where she can barely provide for her children and herself. The Urgent Situation Madalina has not been able to pay her rent for the past seven months. Understandably frustrated, the landlord has given her a final warning and plans to involve the authorities to evict her from the house. This family is on the brink of homelessness. How You Can Help I am asking you to contribute as little as one euro, dollar, or pound to help Madalina and her children. Your generous donations will be used primarily for: Paying off overdue rent: Ensuring the family has a roof over their heads. Buying food: Providing the essentials for Madalina and her children. Procuring a prosthetic leg: Helping Madalina regain some mobility and independence. Every Contribution Counts No amount is too small. Every single donation will make a significant difference in their lives. Imagine the impact we can collectively make if each of us gives just a tiny portion of what we have. It could mean the difference between security and uncertainty for Madalina and her children. Spread the Word If you cannot donate at this time, you can still help by spreading the word. Share this post, tell your friends, and encourage others to visit our blog and contribute. Together, we can make a monumental difference.
