GIVE SHELTER TO SYRIA — Donate Today!

March 9, 2015 by Denise Browning 22 Comments / THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE SALES LINKS. PLEASE SEE MY _FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY_ FOR DETAILS


Hello, everyone! I hope y’all are doing well. As much as I love to talk about Brazil, its food, and culture, as well as cooking techniques, I am here today on a much more honorable mission: to lend my voice to an important cause! I am talking about aid to Christians and other religious and ethnic groups being persecuted in Syria and Iraq.

I am here to ask for your generous donation — pretty much any amount that you feel comfortable giving. We created a fund, GIVE SHELTER TO SYRIA, associated with an organization, ShelterBox, that provides shelter to refugees from Syria and Iraq. Contributions are tax deductible. You can find more information about this organization HERE.

All proceeds go directly to ShelterBox for helping the refugees! This organization received four out of four stars from Charity Navigator. This is one of the reasons that I chose to create a fund with them.

You can DONATE by credit card or Paypal here: GIVE SHELTER TO SYRIA .

Join me in my efforts to help Syrian Refugees! -- Give A Shelter To Syria

As you probably know by now, thousands upon thousands, including women and children, have been killed, beheaded, crucified, buried alive, raped, tortured, and enslaved by ISIS and other similar radical Islamist groups, and others are fleeing the civil war in Syria. They need shelter, food, water, blankets for the harsh weather, and many other basic needs… Many things that we have but take for granted are immediately needed to help the refugees, who have just barely escaped death!

I firmly believe that “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke)

This is the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era… That is why I urge you to help those in desperate need. No matter whether you are a person of faith or no faith at all, you can do good— you can help some human beings in need, who have either been touched by civil war or are victims of persecution simply for not sharing the same beliefs as ISIS. We all have a common enemy that won’t hesitate to wipe anyone from the face of the earth that stands in its way. This could happen to anyone. Just because you may live far away from where these atrocities are happening doesn’t mean that this should not concern you. Actually it should concern us all! If you have any doubt, please see for yourself some shocking images.

But I don’t want this to just stop here. I would like to invite other bloggers and their audiences to join with me in being part of the solution: 1) by making a financial donation; 2) by writing a blog post and/or sharing this one in social media (tag ShelterBox USA); 3) by asking other bloggers to join this cause and spread the word.

You can make a positive difference in someone’s life. Please, DONATE today! This is one of the best ways to say to others that their lives matter. May you be immensely blessed or rewarded for your kind gesture. From the bottom of my heart…

A heart formed by hands and the name ^thank you^in the center

    Your post rocked me to my core Denise! We spend our blogging time creating and savoring wonderful food and often forget many are without such luxuries. Thank you for the introduction to this worthy cause.

      Thank you, Deb!
      Yes, there are many people in the world suffering and needing our help. There are so many things that we have yet take for granted while they lack the most basic things.
      If you can help them somehow, I’d be very grateful! Have a great week!!!

      Hi, Lily!
      I have searched many organizations before deciding for this one — which earned four out of four stars for their work and financial aid to refugees. You can check 2 of the links in the article: One talks about this organization work and the other grade their work (charity navigator). So yes, I trust this organization. If you have one that you trust, you can donate to it. The most important thing is these people get the help they need. Have a great week!

    A noble cause Denise. I just want to say though, I see you wrote “Islamist groups”, these people DO NOT represent Islam, They are monsters pure and simple and they have no idea of religion only the warped religion they’ve made up. It upsets me when even the news keeps pushing them as islamic groups….in the media, of course they are stirring up trouble and they are responsible for all the anti Muslim hate these days. I don’t want anyone to think that Muslims like myself follow what these monsters follow. My faith, my Islam is one that teaches peace, tolerance and love, especially to non Muslims.

    I have donated many times since this conflict started, even before these groups were a part of it. Iraqis have been suffering since the war and Syria since their revolution. I donate though a British charity, Islamic Relief that do awesome work in all these suffering countries.

    Thank you for highlighting the suffering of the Syrians and Iraqis. I have many friends whose families have been displaced because of these atrocities.

      Nazneen:
      If you read again, you will see that a wrote “radical Islamic groups”, and radical is underlined to highlight the difference between radical and moderate. I used the term Islamic because they identify themselves as so.
      I myself know the difference because I have friends (you are one of them) that are Muslims and don’t agree with ISIS and its atrocities. I had no intention to offend you or any other Muslim but the fact is that ISIS identify itself as being Muslim — although I am pretty sure that ISIS members are not people of faith because of their actions.
      And of course, I know as many know that Muslims are not monsters, they don’t agree with ISIS actions.
      I am glad to know you have helped those in need. Have a good week, Nazneen!

    Lovely post Denise. I agree with you and Nazneen, this group does not have faith at all !! they are after power and money and only motivated by greed. They want to wipe off any and everyone out of the face of this world who does not agree with them.. what makes me more sad is that they pollute the young and pure minds of many boys and girls with their vicious ideas.

    Your post really touched me Denise.
    We have travelled to Syria before this horrendous civil war broke out and remember so many kind and hospitable people from different religious backgrounds all over the country.
    When in Vienna we support a relief organization were we personally know the people behind it, unfortunately it’s just a drop in the ocean but many drops can make an ocean.
    Great post.

    Denise, it’s a very noble cause you are writing about. Glad you raised it. Coming from a country where woman are not treated equally has bothered me a lot and I do work with battered woman. It’s something that as a human being, we have to give back to the society. WE constantly pray that the world becomes a better place to live. If we could all do something nice, we should do.
    You have a great week my dear.

    This is an awesome organisation, and you are awesome for reminding us to keep it real and consider those less fortunate than ourselves. I am a part of a food rescue program in my town that delivers left over foods to homeless shelters and safe houses for woman and children who are dealing with domestic violence situations. I know it isn’t as huge as what you are talking about, but every little bit helps, I also like that I am helping people in my community. I will do my best to donate as you have asked, every little bit helps right. Wishing you a beautiful day and a great week ahead.
    Cheers from Australia.

    Thank you so much for lending your voice to such a devastating tragedy. What people do to each other in the name of faith is insane. You are calling attention to such an important cause.
