Refugees in Lesvos Greece
Donation protected
Dearest Friends,
As many of you know, I traveled to Lesvos, Greece for a month, spending time on the island receiving refugees and supporting them along their journey to safety.
I was stationed at Moria where we received thousands of refugees and aided them on their journey. We were able to raise $5k, which helped provide clothing, shoes, and other essentials to all those traveling through the camps.
In an effort to continue our support for their cause, we have started a clothing drive here in the US called #threadsforhumanity and are continuing to raise money on this same campaign.
Along with physical clothing donations, please help me raise funds for storage, additional supplies transportation, labor and eventual shipments of these donations.
Having worked in the fashion + entertainment industries for over a decade now, I've constantly been surrounded by excess + fantasy. And although there are pockets of beauty in that lifestyle, we often lose sight of the fact that we, just as our displaced brothers and sisters, all make up this stream of humanity. I choose this moment to encourage all of us to offer a piece of the excess that surrounds us.
P
Not all of us have the time or opportunity to be on the ground in Lesvos, but we can all take this walk together with good vibes / prayer / intention.
Thank you so much for your support, donation and sharing this cause.
With love and light,
Sylvia xx
