This is what love in action looks like

This is what an awesome team looks like …our gratitude and thanks go to each and every one who volunteered to help. May God bless you all!

During the fear and devastation that followed a constant week of flooding, a simple truth shone through: when people respond with urgency, every act of love and compassion becomes a thread weaving us back into one powerful fabric of hope, comfort and a message that says ‘you are not alone’. Within 24 hours of our urgent appeal, we reached our fundraising goal -just over $2000ASU -and the momentum carried us forward. Within another 24 hours, we were able to send funds to our team to purchase essential ration packs. And in the next 24 hours, local volunteers and the team activated, pushing through obstructed roads, wading through receding waters, and delivering relief where it was most needed.

We borrowed a tractor to cross the swollen rivers and navigate the floodwaters and ensure the safe distribution of supplies to more than 50 needy but incredibly grateful families. The gratitude in their eyes, the thanks they voiced, and the quiet resilience of a community facing loss reminded us all why we come together: not to change the world overnight, but to change the lives of those who need us now.

As the waters continue to recede, we stay vigilant, aware that these communities, mostly subsistence farmers and daily wage earners, have lost income for months. We know from experience that serious health and hygiene risks impact communities after flooding, and we have already commenced our planning for how we can continue to help.

Your generosity this week demonstrates that relief can arrive quickly, and that hope can spread just as fast when we act as one. This is a wonderful example of a small charity (NGO) directing 100% of funds directly to the need, ensuring every dollar works where it matters most.

If you’re reading this, know that you are part of something enduring: a lived belief that we are all connected, that love grows when we move toward others in need, and that each of us becomes a better person because we choose to respond. We would elevate humanity worldwide if more of us embraced this truth and if more of us acted on it - making small sacrifices that have significant impact to those who are very much in need.

Our only request: please share this story with others.

Let it be a message of hope and impact, inspiring generosity and reminding everyone that love, once in motion, endures far longer than any challenge we face.
