Help me!!!

[myhauntedheart]

I'm drowning....

[toons-thought-junk]

Hello, I hope you are well. I am reaching out to you today with great concern and sadness😞💔, as my family and I in northern Gaza are facing significant danger due to the ongoing war. I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them from hunger and the diseases that are chasing us all and to provide a better future for them. Every reblog of the post on my profile can be a lifeline for my family and help me provide the basic necessities for them and get out of Gaza to a safer and more stable place.🙏 I humbly and gratefully ask you to reblog the post from my profile to support my campaign. I got a lot of messages asking me to verify my gofundme campaign however I sent some trustful organizations to do that and none of them answered me yet! If anyone have a connection with a real and trustful ones, who can verify campaigns please let them contact me directly. Thanks for your caring to give the donation for the right person.

UPDATES FROM UNIST'OT'EN

‘What’s been happening at the Healing Centre?

The Unist’ot’en Clan and the employees and volunteers at the Healing Centre had six successful land-based healing programs over the winter and spring, welcoming Wet’suwet’en people in need of treatment and healing from substance use and the trauma of colonization. The Healing Centre, with its remote location, offers a unique healing environment, allowing participants to enjoy the outdoors, go hiking or snowshoeing, take part in the sacred waters of the Wedzin Kwah, and otherwise be free to exist in a way that is impossible and unsafe in an urban rehabilitation clinic. At Unist’ot’en, participants are also able to engage in programming with their spouses and families, where as in other rehab spaces, participants are separated from their families and forced to heal alone.

The FNHA held a weeklong program at the Centre in June, with participants taking part in a Psychological First Aid Training and sharing powerful traditional knowledge from across nations. We hope to have them back and are grateful for their support of our work and space! What a pleasure to have you with us.

The annual Summer Work Party in June focused on Fire Prevention and Safety, with participants coming from all over Turtle Island and beyond, including New York, Washington, Montreal, and Germany. We cleaned up dry brush from all across the grounds, planted an herb and vegetable garden, and created connections and lasting friendships with both new and returning supporters.

Want to be a part of our Healing Revolution?

Come to our August Work Party!

We would love to have you join us in August. Come for as little as a week, or come early and stay late! We welcome visitors year round, but Work Party is the only time new supporters can come for less than two weeks.

But will I be helpful?

Yes, you will be! All skillsets are needed, but especially: Chainsaw operators, construction tradespeople, cooks, cleaners and organizers, gardeners, medics, fire fighters, drone operators, and people who love to get their hands dirty with hard work. Drivers are also needed, so if you have a reliable vehicle but only a few days to spare or are unable to stay at camp for long, please consider becoming a driver to get much needed supplies and people from Vancouver to Houston, BC.

What happens at Work Party?

We have structured days with three excellent meals and free time each evening for card games, hiking, and swimming in the clean river, just downstream from where we get our excellent drinking water. There is a set schedule for a morning meeting where we decide on our projects for the day and check in with each other about our capacities, then there are set times for meals, with projects happening between them. There are medics on site, snacks and drinks provided all day, tenting under the stars, hot showers a couple of times a week, laundry available once every ten days, and plenty of opportunity to get to know your fellow volunteers, the land, and the Unist’ot’en clan.

What’s happening with the Pipeline? Will I get arrested?

There is no active blockade on Unist’ot’en territory, and unfortunately the pipeline is still forcing its way through despite our clear and obvious lack of consent. Traffic from the construction still drives past our Healing Centre and disrupts our peace, but the chance of being arrested at camp is essentially the same as that of being in the city. By participating in helping to keep the Healing Centre operational, you are helping to preserve what few considerations are being taken by the province and industry. As long as the Healing Centre is in place, the river will be protected and her people will be able to continue to access desperately needed programming.

Okay, I want to come! What next?

Before applying to come to camp, please read the preparing for your visit page on our website and pay particular attention to the consent guidelines and guidelines for behaviour. Behaviour going against our guidelines will not be tolerated.

After reading the above page, we welcome you to register here! Please tell your friends and share with your community. The river needs you!’

Kindness: The Universal Language Heard by All

Have you ever felt the warmth of a genuine smile, even from a stranger across the room? Or perhaps the unexpected kindness of a helping hand has lifted your spirits on a difficult day. Kindness, it turns out, transcends the limitations of language and speaks volumes even in silence. As Helen Keller, the inspirational author and advocate, so eloquently stated: "The highest result of education is tolerance." Kindness is a form of tolerance, a universal language understood by all, regardless of background, culture, or ability.

This beautiful quote by John Townsend captures the essence of kindness: "Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see." It reminds us that acts of kindness have a profound impact, leaving a lasting positive impression that transcends spoken words.

The Power of Kindness:

Kindness isn't just about grand gestures. It's about the everyday actions that make a difference. Holding the door open for someone, offering a helping hand, or simply listening with a compassionate ear – these seemingly small acts of kindness can brighten someone's day and create a ripple effect of positivity.

The Science Behind Kindness:

Studies have shown that acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient but also the giver. Performing acts of kindness releases endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost overall well-being.

Spread Kindness Today:

Let's make kindness the universal language we speak every day. Here are a few ways to incorporate kindness into your life:

Smile at a stranger. A simple smile can be contagious and brighten someone's day.

Offer a helping hand. Whether it's carrying groceries or offering directions, a small act of assistance can make a big difference.

Pay it forward. If someone does something kind for you, pay it forward by doing something kind for someone else.

Volunteer your time. Donate your time and skills to a cause you care about.

Be kind to yourself. Kindness starts with self-compassion. Treat yourself with the same respect and understanding you offer others.

By incorporating these simple acts of kindness into your daily routine, you can make the world a more positive and compassionate place.

Spread the word! Share this post and inspire others to embrace the power of kindness!

We should not push ourselves onto people (as friends or otherwise) who are not interested in being with us or are even grudgingly helping us! We should also remember to be genuine in the things we do, including when helping people!!!!!

"Invisible Chains: Unveiling the Hidden Forces Behind Human Trafficking"

Human trafficking, including the trafficking of children, is a complex and devastating crime that occurs worldwide. Several key factors contribute to its occurrence, and understanding these causes is crucial in combating this heinous practice.

Economic Factors: Poverty and lack of economic opportunities are major drivers of human trafficking. People living in impoverished regions often become vulnerable to exploitation, as they may be lured by promises of better jobs or higher wages. Desperate circumstances can push individuals to accept risky opportunities without fully understanding the risks involved.

Demand for Cheap Labor and Sexual Exploitation: The demand for cheap labor and commercial sexual services fuels human trafficking. Industries such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and hospitality often rely on low-cost labor, making them potential hotspots for trafficking. Similarly, the demand for prostitution and the sex industry creates a market for traffickers to exploit vulnerable individuals, including children.

Social and Political Instability: Conflict zones, regions with weak governance, and areas affected by social unrest provide fertile ground for human trafficking. Displacement, breakdown of law and order, and the breakdown of social support systems create an environment where traffickers can operate with impunity. The chaos and desperation that follow such circumstances make individuals, particularly children, more susceptible to exploitation.

Gender Inequality: Women and girls are disproportionately affected by human trafficking, primarily for sexual exploitation. Gender discrimination, lack of access to education, limited job opportunities, and societal norms that devalue women contribute to their vulnerability. Gender-based violence, including domestic abuse and sexual assault, can also make individuals more susceptible to trafficking.

Lack of Awareness and Effective Law Enforcement: Inadequate awareness and weak law enforcement systems contribute to the persistence of human trafficking. Many victims remain hidden due to fear, stigma, and lack of knowledge about their rights. Insufficient resources, corruption, and inadequate coordination among different agencies hinder the effective identification, prosecution, and rehabilitation of traffickers and victims.

Addressing the causes of human trafficking requires a comprehensive approach that involves improving economic conditions, addressing gender inequality, strengthening law enforcement efforts, promoting education and awareness, and providing support and rehabilitation services to survivors. Efforts must focus on collaboration between governments, NGOs, and international organizations to implement strategies that prevent trafficking, protect victims, and bring traffickers to justice.

Regalos de usuarios/pacientes que te dejan sin palabras♡ Gracias J.G.🥹✨️🙏 Personas como tú dan sentido a nuestro trabajo, ponen en valor la importancia de invertir en salud mental, y en enfatizar que trabajar en salud mental es vocacional pues sin implicación o sin empatía no se puede ayudar a nadie (de verdad). Dicho esto, el trabajo personal del usuario/paciente, es igual de importante para que todo encaje y la mejoría se produzca. Por eso TODAS LAS PERSONAS que luchan/conviven y se enfrentan cada día de su vida con un TMG o una enfermedad mental del tipo que sea merecen todo el respeto, admiración y reconocimiento del mundo. Es hermoso ser parte de ese proceso de sanación, no ya como paciente, sino ahora desde el otro lado🦋🧡 #saludmental #sanidad #sanidadpublica #salud #piscologia #psiquiatria #terapia #ayuda #ayudamutua #ASIEM #MentalHealth #therapy #HelpOthers #ILoveMyJob #ThankYouLife ♡ (en Centro de Salud Fuente de San Luis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBscenjM5R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Voluntrea 🆘🍞

Hola de nuevo! En esta ocasión les contaré de una experiencia que tuve con el grupo de voluntrea.  Esta serie de experiencias CAS consistía básicamente en reunirnos los fines de semana o días acordados para de esta manera poder armar desayunos que luego serían repartidos a las personas que se encuentren en las calles que los necesiten (gente durmiendo, trabajando, ambulantes con niños, etc). 

Los objetivos de esta actividad fueron

recolectar víveres necesarios para armar bolsitas de comida (desayuno o merienda)

distribución a las personas necesitadas de desayunos y merienda

Para la ejecución de esto me reuní todos los sábados en la mañana con un grupo de personas que corresponden al grupo de Voluntrea el cual propone diversas actividades mensuales de ayuda a las personas necesitadas, siendo en esta oportunidad la creación de desayunos saludables para las personas que lo necesiten como por ejemplo gente que se encuentre durmiendo en la calle o personas que trabajan en estas y que tienen hijos. Estos desayunos se componen de panes con pollo o jamón y queso, botella personalizada de agua, fruta (plátano, mandarina) y panetón o algo más. Todas las sesiones cambian de lugar para así poder ayudar a personas de diversos lados de Lima expandiendo nuestra ruta de ayuda.

Problemática 

Desgraciadamente, nuestro país se puede presenciar como un montón de personas terminan en la calle, puesto que no cuentan con los recursos necesarios o las oportunidades para enfrentar los diversos retos que la vida les propone. Viendo hoy en día a casi el 25% de la población viviendo inhumanamente. Entre los problemas por las muchas personas terminan en esta situación están los siguientes. Los problemas económicos, los cuales siguen arruinando y haciendo más difícil el progreso de las familias. En caso de las personas mayores, muchas veces la falta de dinero y las peleas familias llevan a que estos sean desterrados, dejándolos a su merced. Del mismo modo, los escapes por situaciones de abuso o maltrato y abandono son algunos de los motivos que llevan a una persona a vivir en la calle. 

Voluntrea es una organización que se dedica a la ayuda social hacia personas de limitados recursos y animales en situación de abandono, la limpieza de espacios públicos, etc. Con visión a desarrollar actividades de apoyo psicológico, educativo, en salud nutricional y general. Asimismo, fomentamos la participación e integración juvenil creando experiencias en diversos ámbitos.

Este grupo de ayuda se reunirá todos los sábados con el propósito de donar 4 horas de su día para organizar y preparar mínimo 50 desayunos, los cuales luego serían repartidos a las personas que lo necesiten en las calles, asegurándose que de esta manera las personas tengan que comer y posiblemente se les alegre el día, pues existe la posibilidad de que no pudieran alimentarse ese día. Mi participación en este proyecto se dio por 3 semanas hasta ahora, llevando víveres para de esa manera poder organizar y entregar los desayunos / meriendas caminando por las plazas y diversos parques hasta el medio día. El voluntariado se realizó en distintos distritos de Lima para así poder ayudar a más personas, aunque el lugar de reunión siempre es un parque cerca al lugar donde se distribuye lo realizado. Aquí estoy desempeñando el papel de participante, puesto que me agradó mucho la propuesta que tenían de ayuda ciudadana.

Relevancia

Lo más relevante para mí fue poder realizar algo por los demás, de manera que esta vez si pude participar desde el inicio de la campaña, haciendo absolutamente todo con mis manos para y por otras personas, sabiendo que ellos no suelen recibir ayuda constantemente y que muchas personas simplemente ignoran esta realidad al no pertenecer a ello.  Creo que lo más difícil de esta actividad fue el hecho de tener que organizarme lo mejor posible para así poder asistir con constancia y ser parte de esta experiencia, pues el IB requiere de un buen tiempo de estudio y realización de tareas. Del mismo modo, la lejanía de los lugares con mi casa presentaban un problema, pues hubo un par de veces que llegue un poco tarde, teniendo yo cosas que hacer anteriormente, como pasear a mi perro en la mañana.

Si volviera a tener esta experiencia, creo que debería mejorar mi entusiasmo al aventurarme a algo nuevo, pues si bien el curso me ha dejado el gusto de ayudar a otros por el simple hecho de que puedo y tengo el tiempo, muchas veces no estoy cien por ciento segura de participar, pues son situaciones relativamente nuevas para mí y que requieren de realizar acciones bastante distintas de lo que solemos hacer por otros. En este caso debo decir que yo no suelo prepararle el desayuno a alguien a menos que sea un día especial para mi familia. Esta situación me hizo salir de cierta manera de mi zona de confort y me hizo darme cuenta de que una acción tan simple, pero tan poco vista como esa puede alegrar el día de alguien que lo necesita.
