Loves, as we all know the past few days have been a lot for those in the South East and Carribean. Hurricane Matthew has devestated Haiti, wrecked havoc on Florida, and as this is being typed making landfall on the Carolinas. My heart aches when I read about the lives lost (oh Haiti), and the loss (homes, etc) that so many are facing. At times like these, it can feel simply overwhelming. With so much devastation it can be hard to know how to start and where to help. But loves, I like to think that times like these are opportunities for us to be our best selves, to put humanity ahead of agenda and help each other. So where to start? The Red Cross has a donation hotline that you can donate to via text (90999), and is always in need of supplies and blood donations. If the Red Cross isn’t your speed there are several organizations to help, including SOIL, Doctors Without Borders, Border of Lights, etc. While there can be lists online make sure that you do a little bit of research on any organization you give to! And here at home, let’s love each other a little hard in these times: say hi to your neighbors, hold the door for others, smile. We’re in this together, so let’s help each other through this!
Wishing us all a week of love and amazing shoes! XO RA
