Someone with children who could use free clothing, has entered the chat: While it's commendable that 18,000 children received a season of clothing, it's equally disheartening that so many are in need—and surely, another 18,000 children could use similar assistance. I've said it before: parents need livable wages, hours that allow them to care for and build relationships with their children, and safe neighborhoods. In the words of Al Bundy, “You can’t have one without the other!” The crime in our community is directly linked to poverty, which stems from a lack of advancement and opportunity for marginalized individuals. This cycle repeats as parents are overworked, underpaid, and stressed in a constant struggle for survival. We need career opportunities as holiday charity. Instead of toy trucks, we need career opportunities for Giving Tuesdays, rather than endless roundtable discussions about recurring problems. A career is the gift that keeps on giving. A promotion that recognizes those of us who have invested time in acquiring new skills and have spent years developing transferable skills can make a world of difference. For many families, ending poverty is just one job offer away.

It's that time of year again when we support the <a target="_blank" href="https://accionvegana.org/accio/0ITbvNmLulGZltmbpxmL3d3d6MHc0/redirect-social/linkedin/urn:li:organization:2892473">Save the Children International</a> #ChristmasJumperDay.<br /> <br /> It's a fun and festive way to raise awareness and funds for children in need around the world. By wearing a Christmas jumper, we can show our support for Save the Children’s efforts to provide life-saving aid, education, and protection to children facing poverty, conflict, and disaster. <br /> The funds raised through donations help ensure children have access to essential services, like healthcare, education, and food, making a real difference in their lives.

Today is the International Day of Charity – a fantastic opportunity to recognise the amazing work carried out by charitable organisations around the world, and to make a donation if you can. We know there are lots of charities to choose from, but here’s why we’d love you to choose RAPAID: 👉 A casualty can tragically bleed to death within just three to five minutes, often before the emergency services have time to arrive.

By supporting RAPAID, you're contributing to building a resilient community where people are equipped to help each other in times of crisis.
