It feels a little hokey to do a “we’re thankful for _____” post today. The world's on fire and the people in charge are useless (at best).
And yet!
We *do* want to thank our volunteers, donors, + grassroots partners for the reminder that a better world is possible ❤️🔥 We’re building it, together

As with most of our aid deliveries, they only succeed because a range of mutual aid groups come together. This time, the effort began in Scotland, where The Highlands Support Refugees collected and prepared much-needed items including children’s and women’s clothing, rucksacks, and shoes.
