Rx for Resilience: Support
This week is Valentine’s, and for many of us, our hearts ache deeply for the devastation and tragedy our neighbors in Turkey and Syria are facing.
On Monday, January 6th, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Syria and Turkey, with a 7.5 magnitude aftershock following just hours later. The death toll from earthquakes is now over 28,000, and over 2.8 million people have been displaced from their homes in freezing temperatures. Relief workers are racing against the clock to pull more people still alive from the rubble.
Bab al-Hawa remains the only humanitarian crossing between Turkey and Northwest Syria. However, it is less functional as the roads that lead to the border have been damaged. Therefore, one major challenge is ensuring that humanitarian and medical aid reaches the affected areas.
Here are things you can do to help, opening your heart ever wider:
-
Interfaith prayer service
- Red Cross
- Care.org
- Doctors Without Borders
- Spread the word
If you can’t donate right now, consider sharing articles with your friends and family and on social media. Your support can aid many people, especially during these difficult times.
Remember, support takes many forms. In situations like these, we can offer emotional, affirmational, tangible, informational, and belonging support. Recognizing the support you can provide not only benefits those in need but helps you to be more responsive in your life in ways that inspire and lift up all around you.
