GFMs That Have Recently Reached Out

I'm putting them in one post with relevant information, please reblog and donate if you can, mutual aid relies on community. For blogs that aren't vetted, can we help get them in contact with some of those running vetted lists? Getting these accounts checked with bring more visibility to them and is a great way to help out if you can't donate. Check out these blogs' pinned posts for direct links to their fundraising efforts.

@supportgaza \\ Mahmoud Khalaf They're 62% funded of their goal €55K, they need funds to help their family members flee Gaza to safety in Ireland. This campaign has been vetted by @riding-with-the-wild-hunt , @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi and is # 151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List

@hazemsfamily \\ Hazem They're at 45% of their €50K goal and need to secure funds to move nine family members out of Gaza and into Egypt. Additionally, several of the family members need medical care plus additional educational and legal expenses will pose a challenge once the border is crossed. This campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#75) and is in their pinned post

@huda123sblog \\ Hoda Hoda has a big family of 24 members that are trying to escape the horrors in Gaza. They've been displaced ~10 times already and desperately need help at 0% funded. I think if someone could get them in touch with with a vetted list moderator that might be a good step forward in getting more eyeballs on their campaign (which is in her pinned post)

@abedallahmusallam \\ Abedallah Musallam Abedallah is high achieving medical student who's vital education's been interrupted by the conflict in Gaza and he's currently at 27% of his 80k goal. He needs funds to secure a safe place to stay for himself and his 6 family members plus food, essentials, transportation, legal fees, and school fees. Abedallah's campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters ( #276 )

@familgazaamal1 \\ Amal Amal's currently at 28% of a $30K target and she needs the funds to secure safe border crossing into Egypt for herself and her family- including VERY small children who are highly susceptible to the incredible hardships they've endured. Amal's campaign is vetted by several sources including @/90-ghost , @gazavetters (#55), @asmaamajed2 , and @banyulepalestineactiongroup on Insta.

@ranasadeq \\ Raghad Raghad's currently at £637 of a 20K target mostly targeted at covering the living expenses in Egypt now that she and some of her family were able to flee the Al Mawasi area of Gaza. This is another campaign that would benefit from the visibility of getting put on the vetted lists- if donating isn't available to you right now, consider helping with your time in this way.

@roaaalkh \\ Roaa Omar Al-Khalidi Roaa is currently setting out with a new GFM at 3% of their €20K goal. She and her family were displaced from Northern Gaza to the South and they lost everything in the ordeal. Please consider donating to help them pay for border crossing fees into Egypt along with other necessities and education expenses. This campaign was vetted by @gazavetters ( #126 ).

@ahmmed-gaza // Ahmmed Ahmed is also starting a new GFM that's at 3% of €75K to raise money to care for his family of 7 and find safety. Ahmed's previous blog @ahmmed--gaza has been deactivated and it's possible he might have been caught up in the recent surge of bans. If donation isn't possible, this is another blog that could use a hand in getting on one of the vetted lists in order to help increase visibility.

@azharwael // Azhar Azhar has four kids who need supplies and food to cope with the harsh environment after being displaced from North to South Gaza. They're trying to evacuate to Egypt (more expenses) and have had issues with Instagram shutting down their account multiple times. They're currently fundraising on whydonate and are at ~10% of €100K. Same story with this account, if you have time and means, helping them get onto a vetted list will get them more visibility if donating isn't in the stars for you.

@asalamashni5 // Asala and Alia Recently widowed, Asala is trying to care for her young child and is at about 19% of €30K to pay for basic goods and to move to somewhere safer. This campaign has been vetted by The Butterfly Project (Line #971)

Hallo All,

I am [ahmed nsr], a war victim who lost my leg due to the conflict I went through. I have suffered physical and psychological pain, and now face new challenges with nutrition and treatment.🍉💔

Over the past three months, I have set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to help meet my basic needs, but unfortunately, I have only been able to raise £630. This help is essential to provide the food and treatment I need on a daily basis.🇵🇸❤️

I also need your kind support in caring for my orphaned brother’s children, who have lost their father. I live with them and my father, who both suffer from chronic illnesses, which adds to the burden I carry.🌹🇵🇸

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference to my life and the lives of these children. I kindly ask that you share my story with your friends and family, as sharing may help reach those who can help.

Thank you for your time and support🌹

They are "having a great time getting to know one another"

"They make a very cute couple."

Another People article is released the same day (x)

Travis responded, "I feel like whenever I'm on a date, I'm always having the sense that I'm a man in the situation. I'm protective, yeah, for sure. You always have to have that feeling or self-awareness, I guess."

Travis is trolled by intern Brandon (see photo below)

Travis and Jason have a laugh about Taylor meeting their dad Ed and wondering what he would talk to her about? (45:10)

Travis reveals that he and Taylor’s cameos on SNL were not planned. They had attended the recording of Season 49’s premiere episode in support of good friend and feature musical guest Ice Spice. (1:14:05)

Travis was also asked what he recommended people wear to dress up like him as a halloween costume, he suggests a moustache, 87 chiefs jersey and a friendship bracelet. (8:44)

"I had [a moustache] when I first met Taylor"

US Weekly article (x) a source says about Travis and Taylor

“They’re really happy. They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction,” noting that their loved ones see Swift, 33, and Kelce’s strong connection when they are together. “Friends think they’re in love.”

“He’s going to see her when she’s back on tour. That’s already planned. And when she gets a break, she’ll see him,” the source adds. “It’s going so well because it’s easy and nothing is complicated.”

“Taylor is really happy and excited about Travis. She’s at the relationship stage where she looks forward to seeing him, getting calls from him, spending time with him,” the source continues. “She has butterflies in her stomach and she hasn’t had that in a while. She feels safe and comfortable around him physically and emotionally.”

The insider notes that Kelce has surprised Swift with how “in tune” he is with her needs. The athlete has also been “a gentleman” toward Swift since he revealed in July his attempt to make a move on Swift while attending her Eras tour concert. “Travis is someone who is so different for her. With him it’s easy. She doesn’t have to worry about anything,”

He has his own career and money. So he’s not with her for the wrong reasons. He has his own successful career and understands the demands,” the insider concludes. “There’s no drama and they’re happy. He’ll visit, she’ll visit. It’s working for them.”

October 22 - Chiefs v Chargers, Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. Taylor flies into KC to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs as they take on the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium.

Taylor changed shoes to be part of a group of teammates, WAGs and close friends of the KC Chiefs wearing custom red nikes. It's so nice to see Taylor be included in this way! (via @taylorswiftstyle and Aric Jones on instagram)

The Messenger reports (x)

" [Travis and Taylor] are both smitten and can't keep their hands off one another when they are together," the source said. "They aren't scared to be affectionate in public."

October 23 - Cruel Summer hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100! Cruel Summer hits this milestone 5 years after it was released from the 2019 Lover album. Taylor and Jack Antonoff (who helped produce the song and long time friend) celebrate with a post (x). Notice they are in a recording studio in LA (last week) and are being way too cryptic holding up 11 fingers... TS 11 anyone?

People speak with Ed Kelce, Travis' dad (x)

Ed tells PEOPLE that the “Karma” singer is “a very, very sweet, very charming, down-to-earth young woman."

His initial impression that Swift is “very genuine" was proven right upon his first meeting with the singer.

“I’ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor the first time I met her,” Ed shares. “We're sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around. Because in the suites everybody gets stuff and you empty it down wherever you can.” Ed continues, “And I'm just thinking, I don't think she got the diva memo. She didn't get the spoiled musician. She doesn't know how to pull that off. And that really to me said a whole lot.”

Travis and Taylor are papped hand in hand heading out for dinner Monday evening at Piropos, an Argentine Steak House. Travis is seen opening the car door for Taylor. (x)

Victor Oladipo believes Taylor Swift makes Travis Kelce better (x)

October 25 - Ed Kelce speaks with ET (x)

"I think they are two very, very driven professional individuals," he says. "I think they're very supportive of each other, which is key. This is a rough time for either one of them to have a relationship. She's in the middle of this ginormous tour, he's knee deep [in the NFL season]. At least he takes his just as serious as she takes hers as far as commitment to their craft."

Ed believes that Taylor's pre-concert ritual of preserving her voice -- which Travis claims is the reason he was unable to present her with a friendship bracelet -- shows how dedicated and understanding she is when it comes to her career.

"I think she's very committed to that," he says of the "Anti-Hero" songstress. "And I think Travis supports that. And I think she realises how committed Travis is to sleep, 10 hours a day, when your body is going through this kind of thing. So I think they're both very supportive."

And should the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl...

"Without a doubt," he says about saving a seat for Tay. "She'll be in the middle of the Eras Tour so..."

And if Ed himself should ever make it to the Eras Tour, he'll be singing "You Belong With Me," as he revealed that it's his favorite song of hers.

"Being genuine with your feelings," he tells ET of the dating advice he gave Travis and Jason. "Being respectful of a woman, and that's taught from a young age. Be yourself, be honest with someone's emotions. But these are all things that they've understood growing up just being the norm."

Episode 60 of New Heights airs, part of the episode title is "Travis Reacts to “Swift Stats"" (x 56:20)

In response to whether National Tight End day is a real holiday, Jason tweets

October 26 - Taylor is seen out in NYC. She is at Bradley Cooper's apartment with Shawn Levy, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. That night, Taylor goes out for dinner with Alana and Danielle Haim at Holiday Bar, NYC (x)

Patrick Mahomes says that he wants to have a secret handshake with Travis after his wife Brittany and Taylor went viral for theirs (x)

“I need to talk to Travis, because me and Travis don’t even have a handshake yet,” Patrick, 28 said during a radio interview with Kansas City’s KCSP (610 AM) on Thursday, October 26. “So I mean, they’re ahead of the game on us. So we’re gonna have to get on the whiteboard, and we’re gonna figure out a handshake so that we can try to one up theirs.”

Arab blogger Hoda Jannat (Hoda_jannat) felt that something is not right in the news she is being fed by the media. So she set herself for a real fact-checking mission. And here are the results, translated from Arabic:

1.Suddenly we discovered that Gaza, which is inhabited by 2 million people… has 36 hospitals,” Jannat wrote.

“There are Arab countries with 30 million citizens and do not have this number of hospitals.

2.Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was getting water, electricity, gas, and fuel for free from Israel.

Of course, there is no Arab citizen who does not pay water, electricity and fuel bills.

3.Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was receiving $30 million a month from Qatar alone, and $120 million a month from UNRWA, and $50 million a month from the European Union, and 30 million dollars a month from America. There are Arab countries drowning in debt and cannot find anyone to help them, even with one million dollars.

4.Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was not besieged, and all goods were entering it, as were foreigners and people of foreign nationalities. Its residents were traveling to Egypt and from there to the rest of the world, and Fafo is the biggest example.

5.Suddenly we discovered that Gaza was living better than many Arab countries…and its people were living better than many Arab peoples.

6.Suddenly…we discovered that our minds were besieged by a programmed lie…by the (Muslim) Brotherhood media.”

7. Suddenly we discovered that the children in Gaza are not children as we usually think, but children of terrorists with machine guns and suicide belts who underwent special training by Hamas.

8. Suddenly we discovered that the schools, hospitals, and mosques in Gaza are organized terror headquarters and ammunition warehouses with Hamas’ underground tunnels.

9. Suddenly we discovered that in Gaza there is an underground “metro” of Hamas that stretches for 500 km, which Israel can only envy.

10. Suddenly we discovered that the supposedly doctors and teachers in Gaza turned out to be active Hamas terrorists.

11. Suddenly we discovered that rockets and mortars are kept in children’s rooms in Gaza homes.

12. Suddenly we discovered that Hitler and his book “Mein Kampf” were very popular in Gaza, and its translation into Arabic was in almost every home in Gaza, or a portrait of the author.

13. Suddenly we discovered that Gazans live a life of luxury, with multi-story mansions with swimming pools and premium German cars.

14. Suddenly we discovered that there is no Israeli siege on Gaza because it still borders its Muslim sister Egypt.

15. Suddenly we discovered that most of the “citizens” in Gaza support Hamas and other terrorist groups, elected Hamas in democratic elections, and celebrated the massacre on October 7th.

16. Suddenly we discovered that what is called journalists in Gaza who work for Western media like CNN, AP, Reuters, and others turned out to be Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre on October 7th.

17. Suddenly we discovered that what is called ‘peace activists’ and ‘workers of international human rights organizations’ of the UN, the Red Cross, and WHO, turned out to be terrorists and corrupt people of Hamas.

18. Suddenly we discovered that each of the leaders of Hamas is a billionaire and richer than President Trump, with a net worth of 4-5 billion dollars each.

EXHIBITION

DRAWING / PAINTING / CERAMICS / PRINTMAKING

Museum of Contemporary Art

Sydney, Australia.

Things I connect with…

A visit to the MCA today. Various exhibitions. I connected most to the works featured in the photos above, including the work by Nicholas Smith, Decorators Touch, 2023. The disparate parts, the play of interior / exterior, dirty / clean, heavy / light, hard / soft, big / small. It had real moments to latch on to, like the little postcard sized collage works masking taped to the artwork in various places, breaking up large areas of colour, that were hand painted or sewn. The work must be about domesticity, and possibly the intimacy, and comfort experienced in this setting. The two organic ceramic works could represent figures, possibly people put on self-made pedestals, like a D.I.Y. Bunnings weekend project, and the other even an interior scene of a moment of intimacy on a mattress, this feeling heightened by the makeshift lovingly quilted walls hanging from the ceiling. To me, the work could be a metaphor for falling in love too quick, rushing into a domestic relationship without first setting up a solid foundation to build upon, rushing to build something quickly with someone without getting to know them properly, but based entirely on how great you think they are. The artist should be commended for making an inviting space filled with curious objects that only get more interesting upon closer inspection. For me, it was one of the only works across the many works viewed today, that didn’t fall apart the closer I physically got. I couldn’t get close enough. I wanted to touch it.

FROM THE MCA WEBSITE:

Raising kids to be good humans in today’s world is a challenge now more than ever. The phrase “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” has been around for a good long while, but with social media, reality TV, video games, and other technological and societal advancements, words have become sharper, patience for others has worn thinner, and empathy can be hard to come by — especially when some of Earth’s foremost leaders are setting a poor example of how to conduct yourself with respect, integrity, and compassion. With the world sort of in the doldrums, raising kind, thoughtful, considerate kids can seem like a daunting task and an uphill battle — but these celebrity parents seem to have mastered instilling great values in their kids in order to raise good humans. If you’re looking for a little advice or inspiration for how to go about this with your own littles, read on for tried and true techniques from Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and more. John Legend & Chrissy Teigen Image Credit: Getty Images for RMHC John Legend and Chrissy Teigen brought their kids Luna, 7, and Miles, 5, to the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Los Angeles in Nov. 2023 to make pancakes and hang out with the families of kids who are hospitalized. “We try to teach them that it’s important to give back and to help other people,” Legend told PEOPLE. “They’ve gone with us to help feed people who are hungry, they’ve gone to homeless shelters with us. We try to teach them to be appreciative of what they have and also know that there are a lot of people that don’t have the privileges that they do, so we should do what we can to help them.” The couple also share daughter Esti and son Wren. Brittany Mahomes Image Credit: Getty Images for Maxim Brittany Mahomes is prioritizing raising her daughter Sterling to be “the most kind, gentle, loving human on this planet.” In an Instagram video, Mahomes said her daughter is her inspiration, and that she’s raising her with compassion — but also striking a balance between being nice and being assertive: “I hope she grows up to be a kind, gentle soul with that good sassy attitude that she needs to change the world.” Brittany also shares son Bronze with husband Patrick Mahomes, quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. Hoda Kotb Image Credit: Nina Westervelt/Variety Hoda Kotb is teaching her daughters Hope and Haley to pay kindness forward — and one way she likes to do that is with a sweet tradition they have whenever they go out to a restaurant. “[W]hen we go out, we pick somebody in the restaurant who we’re gonna buy their meal,” Kotb told podcast host Mel Robbins in January 2023. “My daughter gets to pick because we don’t say a word. Nobody ever knows. That’s how we do it,” she said. To explain to her daughters why good deeds without recognition are important, she puts it simply, telling her daughters: “[S]ometimes we just do things to help.” Angelina Jolie Angelina Jolie emphasized the importance of teaching her kids kindness to HELLO! in 2019, explaining, “It’s important to be humble — know the freedoms you have and what you’ve been blessed with and make sure you help others. And always remember your place — we’re all human and very flawed. We’re tiny pieces in a much bigger world. As they grow up, I find my children are strong individuals but still open-minded. I try to lead by example and be kind and gracious, as my mother was — and loving and tolerant.” Michelle Obama Image Credit: Michael Parmelee/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images. During a 2020 conversation with Ellen Degeneres in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, Michelle Obama said of her two daughters Sasha and Malia, “It’s forced us to continue to sit down with each other, have real conversations, really ask questions and figure out how to keep ourselves occupied without just TV or computers.” The former First Lady continued, “It’s a good exercise in reminding us that we just don’t need a lot of the stuff that we have. We can do with a lot less, and I think that’s an important lesson I want my kids to understand. Be grateful for what you have and be ready to share it when the time comes.” Jennifer Garner Image Credit: Emma McIntyre/Getty Images. During a conversation with Parents, Jennifer Garner explained her approach to instilling compassionate values in her three kids — Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel — who she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck: “I think the most powerful thing to do is to live it, and live it rippling out from your home, whether that’s a next door neighbor or someone at church, taking them a meal and taking your kids along as you do it. For something bigger, like really being involved in an organization, let your kids see it matter to you. That’s the way to teach them.” Max Greenfield & Tess Sanchez Image Credit: Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for Baby2Baby. During a joint interview with Parents, Max Greenfield and Tess Sanchez shared that they teach their daughter and son to be cognizant of the fact that other people have their own stories and backgrounds, too. Sanchez said, “We are pretty relaxed about everything, except how they treat and talk to other people. The only time we ever get mad is if we see the kids being thoughtless. They know they always have to be kind and have compassion,” with Greenfield adding, “We tell them that your friends, your teachers — everyone you meet — has a story, and you should be interested in it.” Pink Image Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. During her acceptance speech for the Video Vanguard Award at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, Pink dedicated her win to her daughter Willow and explained how she was helping her little girl redefine beauty and self-worth. The singer shared, “Recently, I was driving my daughter to school and she said to me, out of the blue, ‘Mama?’ I said, ‘Yes, baby?’ She said, ‘I’m the ugliest girl I know,’ and I said, ‘Huh?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, I look like a boy with long hair.’ And my brain went to, ‘Oh my god, you’re six. Why? Where is this coming from? Who said this? Can I kick a 6-year-old’s ass, like, what?'” She continued, “And I said to her, ‘Do you see me growing my hair?’ She said, ‘No, mama.’ I said, ‘Do you see me changing my body?’ ‘No, mama.’ ‘Do you see me changing the way I present myself to the world?’ ‘No, mama.’ ‘Do you see me selling out arenas all over the world?’ ‘Yes, Mama.’ ‘OK! So, baby girl. We don’t change. We take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl. And we help other people to change so they can see more kinds of beauty.’” Jennifer Lopez Image Credit: Steve Granitz/FilmMagic. In her 2022 Vogue cover story, Jennifer Lopez reflected on how her early life experiences with politics impacted how she now holds conversations about important issues with her twins Emme and Max, saying, “Early in my career people would ask about politics, but I always felt like people didn’t really want to hear from an actor or somebody who sang pop songs. Like a shut-up-and-dance kind of situation. I didn’t have the confidence, and I didn’t want to make a mistake,” she explained. “But you get to a point in your life where you realize, if something’s wrong, you say it. If you’re not doing something about it then you’re kind of complicit. … This generation is beautifully aware and involved and brave, and they will call bullshit on stuff really quick. I want my kids to stand up for themselves and the things they care about.” The mom of two continued, “I’ll stress to them, like, I want you to do well in school. And then my son always finishes the sentence. He goes, ‘But you care more that we’re good people.’ I say, ‘That’s right. I do.’” Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Image Credit: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images. After George Floyd’s murder in May 2020, Lively took to Instagram to write, “We’ve never had to worry about preparing our kids for different rules of law or what might happen if we’re pulled over in the car. We don’t know what it’s like to experience that life day in and day out. We can’t imagine that kind of fear and anger. We’re ashamed that in the past we’ve allowed ourselves to be uninformed about how deeply rooted systemic racism is.” She continued, “We’ve been teaching our children differently than the way our parents taught us. We want to educate ourselves about other people’s experiences and talk to our kids about everything, all of it… Especially our own complicity. We talk about our bias, blindness and our mistakes. We look back and see so many mistakes which have led us to deeply examine who we are and who we want to become.” Lively promised, “We’re committed to raising our kids so they never grow up feeding this insane pattern and they’ll do their best to never inflict pain on another being consciously or unconsciously. It’s the least we can do to honor not just George Floyd, Amaud Arbury, Breonna Taylor and Eric Garner, but all the Black men and women who have been killed when a camera wasn’t rolling.” Nick Cannon Image Credit: Dominik Bindl/Getty Images. Nick Cannon — who has had 12 kids — says teaching kids to be good people is all about instilling good values at a young age. In 2017, he told Hollywood Life, “It starts small. There’s no deed too small, no deed too big. We call them ‘RAKs’ — you gotta rack up the ‘RAKs’ — the ‘Random Acts of Kindness,'” he explained. “So just teaching people how to be polite, respectful — it starts there,” the entertainment mogul continued. “Manners. Willing to share. Sharing is caring. … It feels so much better, and it’s so much more potent to be able to give than to receive.” Sarah Michelle Gellar Image Credit: Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for This Is About Humanity. In an interview with Hello!, Sarah Michelle Gellar said of her and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s parenting, “We talk to our children all the time, and I always say that I don’t care if they’re the smartest in the class, I don’t care if they’re the fastest, I care that they’re kind. And that is a word that we use a lot in our house — to be thoughtful of the people around you and take that into consideration. And that to me has always been the most important value in our household.” Lauren Conrad Image Credit: Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images for CTAOP. When asked by reporters at the 2020 #BlogHer Creators Summit about how she teaches her kids about racism, Lauren Conrad said, “A lot of it has to do with the example you set. Kids are always listening. They’re watching your actions and they’re listening to the way you speak to people, how you speak about people.” Will & Jada Pinkett Smith Image Credit: P. Lehman/Future Publishing via Getty Images. In a 2013 interview with Metro, via E! News, Will Smith opened up about his and Jada Pinkett Smith’s unconventional approach to raising good humans. The iconic actor shared, “We don’t do punishment. The way that we deal with our kids is [that] they are responsible for their lives. You can do anything you want as long as you can explain to me why that was the right thing to do for your life.” The dad of 3 shared more during a 2016 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, explaining the family’s “circle of safety” method. “They’re allowed to tell us everything that they did [in the circle of safety], and they can’t get in trouble. The rule is, if we find out after the circle of safety that there was something you didn’t say, there was hell to pay.” Jada gave more context to Health, per E! News, saying, “I want to give [my kids] the opportunity to make mistakes and learn how to put boundaries on themselves, so by the time they’re out of the house, they fly.” Alicia Silverstone Alicia Silverstone took to Instagram to share an instance of her son being bullied for having long hair, writing, “One time my son was made fun of by other kids because of his hair on a bus ride to surf camp. After he had returned and told me, I thought he would want to cut it for a haircut appointment we had already scheduled the next day, but when we showed up, he said ‘Please give me a trim so I can grow it to my waist.'” The proud mom wrote, “That’s my boy! He knows who he is. He loves his hair and chooses to have it long. Mama and Papa aren’t going to stop him from being him. He’s beautiful and we love his hair! We would never impose any social ideas about what hair on a boy or girl should look like. We should all try to embrace our children and who they choose to be without any judgment!” Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves Image Credit: Elizabeth Goodenough/Everett Collection In fact, in an interview with People, Camila Alves talked about how she and Matthew McConaughey are teaching their kids to be charitable. “We’ve been doing the foundation since Levi was born, so they’ve been seeing what we do throughout their whole lives,” she said. “And we get them as active as much as they can, but we also do a lot of things with them with other organizations. So Meals on Wheels Thanksgiving is part of our Thanksgiving routine where we get over there and do the new deliveries. Any country we go to, any location we go to work, we always end up doing some form of charity things.” Source link
