Incredible how numb the human condition has become we have so much in this world and yet people still go without it's truly shameful. Let's have genuine kindness and compassion for others and help them from the heart. One of the things people may not know is how self-esteem works. When you take a camera to film a homeless person, they know why you are doing that, and they don't feel good about it. It's called exploitation and no person deserves to be treated that way no matter how good the intent. How can we better serve the community that is suffering from all of the man-made crises going on in the country? I work with a few clients who mainly do work in the community in San Antonio TX. Some are small business owners and others are 501C nonprofits. We see on a day-to-day basis what struggles we have in the community. I could list them but that is not the point I see everyday people who I believe are good at heart and some have lost their way and need help, not judgment. One of the hardest things to do is to get people to see it too.

In these trying times, it's easy to feel like the world is against us. Many people are struggling to make ends meet, facing financial hardships, and even homelessness trust me im going thru that now with 5 children. It's disheartening to see people suffer, especially those who are most in need. But in this society, we dont come together and support each other cause of race, religion or some type of domestic even if its protecting you family in your home.specially those that have been in prison for drugs, robbery or guns they get treated poorly but wat about the serial killers or the sick fucks molesting children or rapping women those get treated like kings . Remember, even small gestures of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life. If you see someone in need, try to help them as much as you can. Let's work on ourselves and our society to create a more compassionate and caring community. Together, we can make a difference. Let's spread kindness and support those who are struggling. #SpreadKindness #SupportEachOther #CommunityMatters

A friend set this up for me a while back. It was anonymous at the time, because I was working with local, and international authorities to do everything I could before officially filing for divorce so that I could get my children home safely from New Zealand before he left with them to Thailand, from which I probably would've never seen them again. It's been a battle every step of the way. I had to fight off false allegations he made against me (which apparently is a common thing - who knew?!?) alongside trying to keep myself and my kids safe, while trying to keep up with everyday life. I'm not one to ask for help, and definitely not one to want to ask for money. But, I'm trying to get my kids and I to a safe, secure spot and need all of the legal assurances possible to do so. And when I tell you it has been a journey ... I see why people don't leave ... It feels initially like you have both the system and your narcissistic abuser against you. I had to go through hoops to try and advocate for myself. But once you get the right people on your side, and learn how to navigate it all, things slowly begin to fall into place. I've fought hard to get to the place we are now and I refuse to look back or to fold under pressure. I literally went to the other side of the world and back to get my babies back. I will not stop fighting for them or myself until we're back in a good spot. Thanks to everyone for your support, whether it's a word of encouragement, giving us a safe place to stay/for me to work, pouring love into my boys/offering acceptance/understanding when they've been struggling, or helping me bridge the gap financially. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Hoping to get our heads back above water soon. If you feel so led to help out, it would be much appreciated (whether that be through prayers, a monetary gift, or simply sharing the link). I promise when I get myself reestablished that I will pay it forward. I already have some pretty solid ideas to do so, I just have to save myself and my boys first. ❤️ If you're a victim of domestic violence, leave now, find a safe way out and just go. Chances are, things won't improve, not for long anyway. Love yourself enough to not need their love or approval. End the cycle. 💕 https://lnkd.in/ediQHaaK #domesticviolence #survivor
