#GivingTuesdayNow

Today is #GivingTuesdayNow, a day dedicated to creating a wave of generosity to provide relief for frontline workers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve watched our teams in Kenya and South Africa continue to reach out to the most vulnerable in their local communities by serving and handing out food. It has made me so proud! Many of these teams have lost their operating budget for the year, but they continue to serve and give. It’s amazing. Today is dedicated to them.

At Ten Thousand Homes, we are participating in #GivingTuesdayNow by raising funds for these frontline workers to be able to operate and continue to do what they do. We invite you to be a part! Jeremy articulated the need so well here. You can donate here.

Thank you!

A Little Encouragement

I really don’t talk politics or even post about any former or current presidents, however, these words were such an encouragement in the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic. My favorite quote…

We cannot allow physical separation to become emotional isolation.

This time of social distancing has reminded me just how powerful a hug, a handshake, and human interaction is. It feeds the soul in unexplainable ways. I’m looking forward to the day when we can interact freely again without the worry of spreading a virus. It’s not the same, but here’s a virtual hug to all of you today!
