The Los Angeles wildfires have been a stark and heartbreaking reminder of the disproportionate vulnerability of older adults and people with disabilities in disasters, accounting for nearly all of those who lost their lives so far. At AARP Foundation, we are committed to rebuilding these communities—so they can emerge stronger and more resilient for everyone. Please consider donating to help us provide relief and long-term recovery for those most affected. AARP will match the first $500,000 in donations dollar-for-dollar, and all funds will go directly to organizations on the ground supporting the recovery.? https://lnkd.in/eJRMZFVX

Any dollar amount can be significant

In 2025, Hagar's Heart will celebrate 5 years of supporting, educating, and empowering domestic violence survivors through self-care initiatives. In 2025, we have agreed to provide over 400 I See You boxes a month to domestic violence organizations for their emergency shelters, as well as those seeking outreach services. This is more than double our monthly donations now! This is a large task, but not one that we cannot handle... because of your generosity. We know you will help us serve these men and women; whether through in-kind donations, a one-time donation, or a recurring donation. As you consider your end of year giving, we hope you will think of those we serve. Your generosity provides dignity, a new beginning, and a message of hope for the future. https://lnkd.in/gQGPeYdF

Charity—whether through money, food, clothing, or toys—is a vital practice that we should make a regular part of our lives. In Islam, even a simple smile is considered an act of charity. It’s inspiring to see people dedicate their time and effort to something spiritually enriching while supporting those in need. Here are some key takeaways about charity and its significance in Islam. Charity helps alleviate poverty, reduce inequality, and strengthen bonds within the community, fostering a sense of mutual care and responsibility. Islam emphasizes that acts of charity, big or small, are significant in the eyes of Allah, as I said above even a smile can count as charity. In fact , Zakat(charity) is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, requiring Muslims to give a fixed percentage (usually 2.5%) of their wealth annually to help the needy, support social welfare, and promote economic balance. Charity is considered a way to purify one’s wealth and soul, reduce greed, and earn Allah’s blessings and forgiveness. The Qur’an and Hadith frequently promise immense rewards for those who give generously. Ultimately, charity benefits both the giver and the receiver, serving as a powerful means to foster a more just, fair, and compassionate society.

Hey everyone! We've raised a big heap of funds so far, and thank you to everyone who has made it possible. But I'm hoping we can raise even more! ***For today only*** all donations to the run are being matched! Make your contributions go the extra mile (wink) and donate today. If you are not in a position to help monetarily today, I'd appreciate if you could share this post with others to help spread the word. No need to donate via my link, direct donations to Fred Hollows are also possible (but not sure if these are being matched). Why donate to Fred Hollows? To put it very briefly, could you do your job with a vision impairment or blindness? Could you support your family, or would they be supporting you? Blindness can take away everything from those affected, but you can help bring it back! Many instances of blindness are treatable. More info can be found on the Fred Hollows website. https://lnkd.in/gDjUFZre
