Every being deserves a fair chance at life and happiness
One of the biggest recognitions I wrestled with growing up was the idea that we are created equal - I thought that meant we all have the same chance at life. Working with orphanages, school for gifted children and survivors of domestic violence I recognized that wasn’t the case.
Life for many starts from a place of survival and needing to seek safety. As such life is predetermined in many ways. In a world worn by poverty, war and inequality how can we help make a difference and try to create equal opportunity and safety? I don’t know yet but here’s a start for help by supporting the wonderful beings doing the work of caring for those who need it.
