Thank you for your incredible support on Orange Shirt Day! ?? We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us in honoring survivors, raising awareness about Residential Schools, and standing up for Truth and Reconciliation. Your purchases, donations, and voices are helping make a meaningful impact in supporting Anishnawbe Health Foundation and Indigenous-led healthcare. With your support, AHT can provide vital healthcare services, traditional healing programs, and initiatives that empower our community. Every contribution helps create a future where Indigenous peoples can thrive, grounded in our culture and traditions. Reconciliation is a journey we can commit to every day. Here are a few ways to continue the work: Educate Yourself: Learn more about Indigenous history, culture, and the ongoing impacts of colonialism. Support Indigenous Businesses: Prioritize buying from Indigenous-owned businesses and supporting their economic empowerment. Listen to Indigenous Voices: Follow Indigenous leaders, activists, and artists to understand their perspectives and amplify their messages. Acknowledge the Land: Recognize the traditional territories you live and work on and respect the significance of Indigenous lands. Advocate for Change: Support policies and initiatives that promote Indigenous rights, justice, and equality. Please continue this journey of learning and reconciliation every day. ??

Gender equity and public safety is at the heart of what we do at Leadsun.

HOPE AND COMPASSION This holiday season, we reach out with hope and determination to ask for your help. While the holidays bring joyous celebrations for many, our immigrant community faces growing uncertainty. Disinformation and harmful policies are once again targeting families, threatening their safety and stability. Some of you may recall the crises of past years—frantic phone calls to protect loved ones from ICE, separated families, and overwhelming fear. Sadly, we anticipate similar challenges ahead, and CRC is bracing itself to respond. At the Community Resource Center (CRC), we have always risen to meet the needs of our community. Together with your support, we’ve reunited families, provided life-changing legal services, and created networks of safety and resilience. Now, more than ever, we need your help to continue this vital work. Your donation will allow us to strengthen our response, providing safe havens, critical resources, and hope for families facing these uncertain times. Together, we can ensure that our community feels supported, protected, and empowered. Thank you for standing with us. Your generosity makes an immeasurable impact. Wishing you peace, The CRC staff, board of directors, and clients Your contribution, no matter how small, is significant in our collective effort to create positive change. https://lnkd.in/ept3DpRn

How has vision loss changed your life? This question is something our clients experience on a daily basis. Perhaps vision loss has not changed your life personally but has for someone close to you. Your commitment brings help and hope in so many ways to the clients we serve. The simple turn of a key or a mouse click on a computer can feel like a mountain to climb for individuals with vision loss. Chontelle, Viswa, David, Christine, Judy and Diane featured in the photo have all been there and understand how Society services can make a huge difference in a life. Today is Giving Tuesday. Your gift can provide white cane training, transportation for medical appointments and daily living needs, assistive technology training to use accessibility features on electronic devices, and so much more. If you haven't made a donation yet this year, today is the perfect day. Just visit our website here: https://lnkd.in/exzVRhhu. We are beyond grateful to you! (Six people standing outside smiling at the camera. Two are holding white canes, one is using a support cane, and one has a black seeing eye dog. Black words in a white box say: delivering vital support to more than 1,200 clients each year.)

At the core of this is a belief that we are all relationally entangled. Relationships with humans and non-humans is what make us alive. Life dwells in the in-between space of relationships. What we argue for is the recognition of this relationality that is undeniable, and our entanglement with other life forms is profound. We are biologically, ecologically, and even psychologically interconnected. Biologically, humans share common ancestors with all living organisms, and our bodies host countless microorganisms that are essential for our health. Ecologically, we rely on complex systems involving plants, animals, fungi, and microbes for food, medicine, and ecosystem services like pollination, water purification, and climate regulation. Psychologically, our well-being is often tied to our relationships with nature, influencing our mental and emotional health. This deep entanglement means that the well-being of other species and ecosystems is intrinsically linked to our own. Disruptions to natural systems leads to cascading effects that impact human societies, highlighting the necessity for harmonious and mindful coexistence with the world around us. All of us already are relational beings, it’s time to make it more conscious. ____ Currently, IRB is running a fundraiser Human Nature Culture where you can support us in bringing this vision to life! You can donate as little as 1$. Every bit matters to us! BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated! ?? To donate: https://lnkd.in/eSR5qtp4 ??

I wanted to provide an update on my recent post. We were able to get our local news to do a story on this and I want to share it here. https://lnkd.in/eCJGYRR8 WYFF 4

We need HELP! Thank you - so many of you have asked how you can help, and Western North Carolina and Asheville desperately need it. It is devastating here, beyond belief, but in these last seven days I have seen the BEST of humanity. (Read more below) I am so proud to live here. I am among the lucky ones and in a position to both help and ask others to help. Whatever you can - every single bit matters, and has impact. (I had a homeless woman see me loading our truck with supplies, and she asked if she could pray with us. See everyone has something to give) Here are my top 10 ways: 1. Clothes - go through your house and all that stuff you have been meaning to give away send her 2. Canned goods - all that stuff you never eat because you go out instead - send it here 3. Toiletries - all that stuff you pick up in hotel rooms or leave behind send it here 4. Cleaning Supplies - all that stuff you don't use because you were finally able to hire someone to clean for you- send it here 5. Medical Supplies -okay you may need this stuff - but any extra band-aids, bandages, braces etc. you have send it here 6. Pet Food – think of all the love your pets give you, and then think of some poor animal going without – buy extra and send it here. 7. Baby Formula/Supplies – baby formula, diapers, baby food is desperately needed, and so expensive. Please send it here. 8. Water - our water infrastructure is badly broken and may take weeks to months to restore. This is one of the most desperate needs, please send it here. 9. Donations – go to Hearts With Hands, American Red Cross, Manna Food Bank Samaritan’s Purse, all good ways to send money here. 10. Caring – if you know anyone who lives in this area, just reach out. We have very little cell service, almost no internet, no power and really no water, but somehow your messages get through, and just knowing people care makes all the difference. Thank you for reading this, for helping, and not forgetting the people of WNC.
