To answer that question, we sought responses from our team, who work every day to make our mission possible. Their thoughts?

On the one hand, we are are all human beings, regardless of the circumstances we happen to be born into. On the other hand, those circumstances are entirely random. No one chooses where they are born, their struggles, or their hardships; it is all a matter of chance.

From the position of privilege we hold —having access to healthcare, opportunities, and many advantages to varying degrees— the least we can do is to help those who do not, because neither of us chose the conditions that shaped our lives. Moreover, in today’s global landscape, it seems that none of our comforts or ways of life are guaranteed.

So, be the person you would hope existed if one day you found yourself in need of help.
