Hi Everyone!
 
I'm looking to help bring much-needed relief to children and families living in poverty who have been impacted by COVID-19. And I'd like to invite you along in the journey!
 
Did you know that this crisis has the potential to undo at least 10 years of progress toward poverty alleviation in developing countries? 
 
This prediction is heartbreaking. But, I refuse to let it become a reality. Together, with your support, I am partnering with Compassion to equip the local church across the globe to provide immediate relief—like desperately needed food, housing security and hygiene supplies—to the most vulnerable communities among us. Through the  COVID-19 fund, Compassion is seeking to help restore what COVID-19 has destroyed through urgent provision of critical needs like: 
 
  • Food kits with rice, eggs, meat, milk and non-perishables
  • Medical care
  • Housing support like rent relief
  • Hygiene supplies like sanitizer, soap, vitamins and supplements, household cleaning supplies and protective masks.
 
Will you join me in helping restore what COVID-19 has destroyed for those in poverty?

Personal Reflections... September 2020
I am not one to blog, or write out my thoughts and feelings publicly, however I feel that this deserves some vulnerability on my part.
As I reflect on the year 2020 and on all that has happened, (and hasn't happened), I wonder if this year was meant to bring me "20/20 vision" [the clarity or sharpness of vision].
Many times I wonder why I have grown up with the luxuries that I have, when others suffer so deeply. I often think about the opportunities and the privileges that I have, and wonder if I'm using these advantages for my own gain or to help those who are oppressed.
For me the impact of Covid-19 was relatively uneventful; I shifted working from an office on a daily basis, to working from home, I saw my friends & family less, I watched church on TV rather than gather in person, and I watched my nephew grow up via FaceTime.
Did I miss a lot of things? yes.
Was I lonely at times? yes.
But I was never hungry, I was never thirsty, I never had to wonder where my next meal was coming from, or how I would pay my bills.
I cannot begin to imagine what that feels like. As I read through some of the stories from the frontlines via Compassion's website, my heart was compelled to do something. I can no longer sit back - I want to help be a part of the solution to the struggles that SO many people are facing worldwide today.
I've made a commitment to myself that I'm going to share with you.
I want to approach injustices in this world with this mindset:
No longer asking myself "If I help them, how will this affect me?" but rather asking the question "If I don't help the oppressed, what will happen to them?".
