Something invisible came and put everything in its place. Suddenly the gasoline went down, pollution went down, people started to have more time - parents are able to spend time with their kids as a family, work or traveling is no longer a priority. Suddenly we silently see within ourselves and understand the value of the words "solidarity", "love", "strength", "empathy" and "faith". In an instant we realized that we are all in the same boat; rich and poor. That the supermarket shelves are empty and the hospitals are full. New cars and old cars also stand in the garages, simply because nobody can get out. Empty streets, less pollution, clean air, and open land. The human returns to his origins, realizing that with or without money, the important thing is to survive. It took 6 days for the universe to establish the social equality that was said to be impossible and nature is forcing us to clean up the mess made by ourselves. Things that once seemed the center of attention: -Money -Sports -Fame -Politics What the coronavirus is teaching us: -Our best protection: GOD -Our best refuge: HOME -Our best company: FAMILY -Our real time: TODAY -Nature's call: STOP US -Its message: WAIT, RESPECT We are part of a whole, fragile, brittle and vulnerable something. Part of a whole something that we wanted to dominate & today is telling us: Stop, breathe, respect. Go back to the basics, to the essentials. •Author unknown

Feel good moment ♡ I just want to say thank you to the outpouring of help and support after my post about the families that I help. I posted at 6:30pm and by the end of the night I had an entire backseat full of groceries, diapers, wipes, and even cash and Venmo donations! I spent the night happily driving to peoples doorsteps picking up items and also had many people drop off items to my own doorstep. I am still receiving messages and items 2 days later! Yesterday I gave the groceries to my families and even had some to spare for others needing help. I wish you all could be there to see the burden lifted from their faces and how grateful they were. I would not have been able to help these families to this extent without the community of neighbors, friends and even strangers that came together to help people they have never met. What a beautiful example of good things happening in bad times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♡🌍

Hello friends! Here I go, asking for a favor ☺️ COVID-19 has brought upon a challenge that I hope some of you might be able to help me with 🤞🏼. Due to recent job losses and scarcity in the grocery stores, the refugee families that I help are also really hit hard from these effects. Many of them do not have cars and must wait until they can find a ride to get to the grocery store and by that time, items are gone. I am trying to help these 6 families get the things they need, but it has become hard to do on my own. I am wondering if any of you have extra items that you are willing to donate, or willing to find at the grocery store when you do your own shopping. Currently, the item that has the greatest need (surprise, surprise) is toilet paper. Tyson and I have been giving them some of our stash, but extra help would be greatly appreciated! Other essential items include- corn oil, potatoes, fruit, onion, flour and size 6 diapers and wipes. If you have any of these items to spare or are able to pick them up, please let me know! I can pick them up from you, or if you would prefer, you can set them out on your doorstep and I can come grab it #socialdistancing. Thank you in advance! ❤️🌍
