Hope you can support Dharmesh Rajput with this really important ask.

Gravamen has some *values*. (Or maybe they're more like goals?) They include: - Dismantle the patriarchy (or be a useful tool for doing so) - Overthrow white supremacy (or be a useful tool for doing so) - Interrogate income and wealth inequality (or be a useful tool for doing so) Each month Gravamen donates at least $1K towards charities whose work is consistent with those values. One of this month's charities is: Share the Dignity, a charity that targets period poverty. Jd'A

I love my morning coffee Cappuccino, regular, skinny, chocolate on top... to take away. I'm so predictable that my local coffee shop has me stored as "Avi Skinny Cap" in their rewards system 😂 Since society opened up after the pandemic, my morning coffee ritual has become a cherished part of my daily routine. Depending on where I am working from, I rotate between a few favourite spots that serve awesome coffee, and this daily habit costs me around £3.50 each time. That's approximately £25 a week, £100 a month, or £1200 a year. As I prepare to complete my first Triathlon (sprint distance) in about three weeks, I'm also raising funds for Save the Children International Emergency Fund, supporting children living in crisis worldwide. It struck me recently that the amount I spend on coffee in one month (£100) could provide clean water for seven and a half months to a child in need, OR give 3 families each a baby kit to look after their little one OR provide 2 families with essential food parcels. Inspired by this, I've decided to donate £3.50 to my Save the Children Emergency fundraiser every day I buy a coffee for the next 66 days. Why 66 days? - according to some studies, it takes on average 66 days to form a new habit. This isn't about giving up my morning routine or setting another challenge, but rather about being more mindful of my daily decisions and the privileges I enjoy. Who knows I might even form a new, more cost-effective habit as part of my routine! Donations don't have to be big to make a difference. If you'd like to contribute to this effort, no matter the amount, please visit my fundraising page here > https://lnkd.in/d9WZ9YPm Thank you to everyone who has donated or sent messages of support. It really means a lot! 🙏🏽 A question for those that are happy to share - what’s your favourite part of your morning routine? Save the Children UK Camille Johnston Hepworth

Don't assume your assets will automatically go to your loved ones If you're like many people, you might assume that your assets will automatically go to your parents, partner, or kids if something happens to you. But the truth is, it's not always that simple. Without a Will, your assets may not be distributed according to your wishes. In fact, they may be tied up in legal battles and delays, causing unnecessary stress and uncertainty for your loved ones. By having a Will, you can ensure that your assets go to the right people, in the right way. You can also name an executor to manage your estate, and make specific gifts or donations to loved ones or charities.

I love asking people for donations! I have realized that people don't donate because of : a) Lack of Trust- Money will not utilized properly. b) Pessimism - That the world cannot change or their individual donation will not matter. c) Ignorance - They have enough problems of their own. They don't want to bother themselves with the problems of the world. So, every time I convince someone to donate, I believe in bringing the best version of them. The one of hope, trust, and optimism to become an agent of change. Give me 15 minutes of your time to change your mind about donation.

All this January I've been challenging myself to walk 15,000 steps a day to raise money to fund vital research, care, and support for people living with MND and their families. I appreciate it’s January, and there are like 12 weeks before pay day, but I'd be so grateful for your support. You can support in two ways: 1. Donate The money really will really help to make a difference, (and help to keep me motivated)… (and/or) 2. Nabbing a couple more minutes of your time reading the rest of this post. Even if you just read the below, spreading the awareness of MND would be enough! So, here’s some science: Motor neurone disease is a rare condition affecting the brain and nerves. It eventually leads to death, but some people live with it for many years. Symptoms include muscle weakness, twitches, slurred speech and difficulty swallowing. The symptoms get worse over time. Why support the MND association? I’ve not been directly impacted by this horrible disease, but my own awareness was raised due to my love for Rugby League. My favourite players back in the day were always the mercurial Rob Burrow and the ever dependable captain, Kevin Sinfield. Rob Burrow, was diagnosed with MND in 2020, and his friend Kev took on some endurance challenges to help his mate out. Their story of friendship, love and care for each other is legend! Anyone who has read Rob’s book “Too many reasons to live” or followed the TV documentaries that have featured his battle with this terrible disease, will know all too well the impact this condition can have on friends and family. Finally…. I’ll leave you with a couple of quotes from Kev and Robs books: “There is this stat that 5,000 people have MND at any one time. But that can blind you to the countless cases there were previously – the thousands who’d already been through it. A lot of the families of those departed people had to sit with the trauma. It wasn’t really known what MND was; some people who contracted it felt shame about their condition. Now, those left behind can express the emotional pain they endured. That’s where Rob has been a shining light for the MND community. He’s given a sense of safety to a lot of people who might previously have locked the doors and closed the curtains” Kevin Sinfield, “The Extra Mile” “MND isn’t incurable, it’s under-funded.” Rob Burrow, “Too many reasons to live”
