Imagine not being able to breastfeed nor afford buying formulas. What a desperate situation. Unimaginable in Europe. Not so! And why can’t mothers just breastfeed? Here is part of an answer: Thanks for getting back to me, it’s a complex problem, food banks are unable to provide formula milk because of the unicef guidelines, and many women can’t breast feed for so many reasons. It’s something that is so taboo in the uk with everyone pushing breast is best ideas but the reality is that many women struggle to breast feed, especially those who are in food poverty themselves. Some due to trauma, some have no support some have to go to work I mean the list is endless. If only breastfeeding where that simple, unfortunately for many women it’s not and the trauma of not being able to breastfeed resonates for a long time. Many health care professionals will suggest to a mother because the baby isn’t growing that they use both breast and formula milk and we all know that as soon as the anxiety kicks in that we aren’t providing enough for our babies the worse it gets. But the reason they can’t is really for another whole topic but it’s what don’t do if you can’t and you can’t afford it, this is the real issue facing so many. Maybe you want to support Naomi making a movie about this issue?

Philanthropic Train: Share your favorite charitable causes and donate to some of the responses if you can. The next 56 or so days in the States are going to be rough and divisive if we let them. Instead of focusing on the division I want to throw a spotlight on doing some good for the world. Please post some (non-political) charities that you support below and tell us why. I'll personally donate $100 split among a few of the responses and I invite others to do the same. Let's lead by example, be the change and show the world who we really are.

It's been almost 10 years since I took the 10% Pledge with Giving What We Can What is it? A public commitment to donate 10% of your income to effective charities for the rest of one's life. Why did I do it? I am privileged in many ways and donating 10% of my income will make a huge difference to 1000s of people, with little impact on my day-to-day living. Feels like a no-brainer! How does it feel? Although I didn't do it for selfish reasons, donating 10% of my income has given me sense of pride and achievement. No matter what else I do with my life, I have donated ten's of thousands of pounds to charities that are considered some of the most effective in the world. I am not saying this to boast - I really am privileged in many ways (e.g. having frugal mindset) so taking the pledge was not as hard for me as I imagine it is for most people. If you are curious, feel free to ask questions, or, just check out their website.

It’s day 2 of The Big Give and if you didn’t see our post yesterday, here’s why we’re asking you to donate this week. 🐭 It’s a domino effect… 1) You help us by donating. 2) We help local communities by providing free skills, resources and training to carry out wildlife-friendly projects. 3) Communities aid nature recovery across Essex! And the best bit is that this week your donation will be doubled automatically by The Big Give – so £10 turns to £20, £50 to £100 and so on. Will you help us help local communities? 👉 https://bit.ly/49b2R1c

♡A single drop of blood can offer someone a chance at life♡ Wellbeing often begins with individual actions. ●Have you ever considered donating blood? ● Personally, I have donated three times so far and each time, besides the joy of saving other lives, it is followed by a positive change in my own body. It's like hitting the reset button. I urge you to donate because even the smallest amount of blood can make a significant impact - saving up to 2-3 lives with a simple donation! #wiprocares #wiprocsr #bloodcampaign #justdoit #community #csr #donate #ngo #CorporateResponsibility #socialgood #charity #giveback #environment #socialimpact #CorporateSocialResponsibility
