In honor of Indigenous People's Day week, this timeline uncovers the extraordinary relationship between the Choctaw Nation of Native Americans and the Irish people—a bond born out of empathy and forged in times of immense suffering. In the 1800s, both communities endured severe hardships: the Choctaws faced the devastating Trail of Tears, while the Irish experienced the Great Potato Famine. In an incredible act of compassion, the Choctaw Nation donated $170 (around $5,000 today) to help the Irish during their time of need, despite having just gone through their own tragic ordeal. This remarkable gesture of kindness highlights their deep sense of humanity. The story doesn’t end there. In 1992, Irish people walked the 965 kilometers of the Trail of Tears in honor of the Choctaw Nation, raising $170,000—one dollar for every dollar originally donated. The timeline also explores the lasting tributes that commemorate this unique bond: "Kindred Spirits" in Ireland: A sculpture featuring Choctaw feathers forming a bowl, symbolizing the aid given during the famine. "Eternal Hearts" in Oklahoma: A Celtic trinity knot, representing the eternal nature of the bond between the Choctaws and the Irish. With a focus on credible Choctaw and Irish sources, this timeline ensures an accurate and respectful portrayal of this important relationship. For students learning this subject, the episode serves as a testament to the power of compassion and human resilience. It demonstrates how two cultures, separated by vast distances, united in times of need to forge a lasting friendship based on mutual respect.

Serving the charitable needs of donors, potential donors, nonprofits, CPAs, wealth advisors, and trusts & estates attorneys
In what will be known going forward as the "Fine-Tuning" Series for Nonprofits, we pick up here with Tip #9 of 17: Fine-Tune your Case Statement. The #1 item I work on with nonprofits is a "Case Statement": Who are you as an institution?...What are you trying to accomplish?...What is your history?...What are the challenges ahead?...What are the proposed solutions to address those challenges?...and What dollars and actions are needed toward achieving successful outcomes? Here is a terrific Case Statement here that I helped construct with the team, including Michael Henrich, for the Common Man for Ukraine: https://lnkd.in/eCx4nh4n. Now, a Case Statement folds hand-in-glove with a companion piece called the "Gift Pyramid/Table of Gifts," which is a one-pager based on the total need and broken down by gift level. The Common Man for Ukraine folks have a beautiful Gift Pyramid/Table of Gifts with the same sunflower theme as their Case Statement. That particular Gift Pyramid was created by Ashleigh N., who has a terrific intake form for nonprofits, who enter their campaign totals and gift levels---and she creates the graphics. Consider your own Case Statement, Total Dollars Needed to reach your goals, and what your Gift Pyramid might look like!

I often get asked how long Ukrainians will fight. I am German-American, but here is my perspective, without pretending to speak for Ukrainians: - Ukrainians are tired, exhausted, burned out, traumatized BUT - They never complain. - They know what's at stake: the future of their children, their freedom, democracy, the right to tell the truth, the very survival of their country and culture. - They are very resilient, well organized. Take the destruction at Ohmatdyt Children Hospital: six buildings are completely destroyed and many others heavily damaged. 600 child patients had to be evacuated; it was one of the most appalling attacks in modern European History. Yet, three weeks later, the debris is cleaned up, the Request for Proposal is issued, the doctors are working in other hospitals supporting the children, the fundraising is going strong. It's a herculean task to rebuild but the leadership and staff at this hospital will get it done. If we help: We can help in so many ways - one of them is to go to events that Ukrainians here in the US organize. The ice-skating show on the evening of August 17th in Seattle is such an event. If your family likes Disney kind of shows, you have to go! Tickets for 0-6 year old kids are for free. All proceeds support Ukrainians who lost their limbs.
