War Demands And Creates Exemplars, Will You Be Legendary And Heed The Call?

Terrible things happen in the World every day.

Most of the time, people pretend like they don't happen.

When these things are brought up, most people will pay lip service to these causes but won't do anything to provide aid.

I am not someone who will stay silent.

If there is a cause that I believe needs to be supported, I will do something about it.

I am a person of few talents, but we all have things we can do.

For me, I will give my voice to stand for what I believe.

If I have the means, I will lend my wallet as well.

This is what an Exemplar does - they DO something about the state of the world.

There are also times when, no matter how much one would like, the horrors of the world cannot be ignored.

War is one of those times.

When War strikes, there is no more time to hide.

You either act, or you don't.

We may feel powerless to do anything, I know I have felt this way.

But we are far more powerful than we realize.

We can accomplish far more than we think possible.

However, we need to take a stand.

What I can tell you is that I do not support harming civilians.

I do not believe that anything demands the intentional harm of babies and children.

I do not stand for that.

I do not support terrorism.

I will not keep silent for barbarism.

War demands that people become Exemplars.

What will you do?

Will you sit there and pay lip service, or will you take a stand?

Will you become an Exemplar?

Here are some resources to give to if you are in a position to give.

These are the organizations I am giving money to, and I will not give less to other causes I support to accomplish this.

Extraordinary Times call for Extraordinary Efforts.

If you are unable to give, then I encourage you to find another way to be an Exemplar.

Share your thoughts.

Share these resources.

Support where you are able.

Encourage those taking a stand.

Show the World that we will not tolerate this hatred.

Stand with me.

Save The Children (Emergency Fund)

I am no stranger to sending support to Children in need.

In the darkest of times, they are the ones who get the worst.

In the darkest of times, they are the ones who are forgotten.

Their innocence should be treasured, but often people take advantage of it.

In War, this is no exception.

We need to Stand up most fiercely for those who cannot stand for themselves, and the top of that list for me is Children.

Save The Children takes a bold stance, ensuring that all children have the right to grow up healthy, educated, and safe.

They have an Emergency Fund for times like this, for times of War.

I will not forget the children.

If this is something you feel called to give to, here is their link:

Alternatively, you can also donate to their "Team Tomorrow" program and join the cause of Choose Peace:

American Friends Of Magen David Adom

In War, there are always those who will be injured.

There are brave groups of people who will leap into the conflict to save as many lives as possible.

Paramedics, EMTs, First Responders, and First-Aid Providers.

They risk their lives so that others have a chance to live.

That is what the Magen David Adom organization does in Israel.

You can help their organization here:

Leket Israel

Times of war tend to make Food scarce.

Leket Israel takes food from Surplus locations and ensures it gets to those most in need.

There are a lot of people who are in need now.

Ensure that people get the Food that they need.

Help provide food here:

Natal - Israel Trauma & Resiliency Center

War inevitably brings Trauma.

It is bad enough for the families of the combatants.

The Trauma is significantly worse when the violence targets completely innocent civilians and children.

We are already seeing Trauma spread, and this War has only just begun.

We can be proactive though, and start the healing process where we are able.

Natal provides Trauma prevention, intervention, and guidance in times of conflict in Israel.

Help the process of healing here:

ALLMEP - Alliance For Middle East Peace

The goal is Peace.

However, War can make Peace incredibly hard to create.

This War is a blow to Peace in the Middle East.

But, there are organizations actively working for Peace.

ALLMEP is one of those organizations.

The Middle East needs more people ready to stand for Peace.

We can help promote Peace, even during the darkest times.

Promote Peace here:

ALLMEP

Other Great Organizations

There are likely countless more organizations I have not mentioned.

However, I do have two more to include.

Doctors Without Borders and The Red Cross.

These two organizations are often at the forefront of conflict wherever it arises.

Here are ways to donate to them as well:

Doctors Without Borders

International Committee Of The Red Cross

Final Words

The World needs great Leaders.

Times like these require good people to take a stand.

Stand with me.

If there are organizations I missed, send them my way.

If you have a voice to give, send support.

If you have the means, give to these causes.

If you have other talents and strengths, utilize them.

If you have an audience, share the message.

Evil will spread unless people like you become Exemplars.

This is the call.

Do something Legendary.

Be an Exemplar.
