Airbnb offers free accommodation for 20,000 Afghan refugees - BBC New
I'm off to see how to make a donation.
Update, after a bit of online searching I finally found the donation page and have just been and donated 25$ it works out at £19.13. A tiny amount I know but if everyone that was able to do this made a donation it would make a world of difference. Please, if you can afford to do your bit to help. Just stop and think how you would worry if it was your mum, sister, brother, grandparent or child waiting for a knock on the door and the fate they would face. It breaks my heart to think about how frightened they must all be.
Thanks so much for the link, Cherie. I heard the news on the radio this morning and was touched at Air B&B's kindness. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Vix. We share one world and it makes me so sad to see how much some have and others have nothing.
DeleteOur household has done a little bit to help, hopefully, through an organization that will do right for the people. I do think this world can get better-little bit by little bit. I'm so tired of people making everythng out to be about control and a new world blah, blah, blah, and just wish people would do as you suggest, and help who they can if even a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI used to work with asylum seekers and know first hand of the heartache and suffering they have put up with.
