@CherNohio I already make a monthly donation to World Central Kitchen but I’m always ready to give more. They are my favorite organization for their courageous work feeding the displaced and aid workers in wars and natural disasters.
Mine as well.
@cassandra17lina I appreciate your bringing awareness to this and continuing support for their work. 💜
Maui raises his fist,
Through trials, he still persists,
Resilience in his midst.
@cassandra17lina btw the WCK is awesome..
