It can feel overwhelming with the state of them world at the moment.
On the Australian east coast, we are seeing flooding and torrential downpours. People are losing their homes, small businesses are closing and people are being left with nothing.
Images coming out for the Ukraine of mothers fleeing with children is heartbreaking. As I walk my daughter to school and we talk about being brave it hits me about how across the world other mothers are having the same conversation yet there is not an esoteric talk- it is one about life and death.
Last week I donated to Givit and also voice of children.
But it doesn't feel enough so we are donating $10 from every sale to both of these charities.
I will also be buying downloadable items from Etsy from sellers in the Ukraine.
GIVIT is managing offers of donated goods, services, volunteering and funds, including corporate offers, in response to the widespread flooding across Queensland and New South Wales.
In NSW, GIVIT is working with the NSW Government to ensure donations are managed to support all impacted communities. As a still-developing event, specific areas will be updated when possible.
