A Global Day of Unity and Giving
In response to the unprecedented impacts brought on by the global pandemic, organizers have declared today, May 5th, #GivingTuesdayNow to motivate grassroots efforts to bring relief to nonprofits, communities and individuals during this trying time. The regular #GivingTuesday event, scheduled for Dec. 1st will still happen, but today, alongside charity partners across the globe, we ask everyone to open their hearts just a little early in whatever way they can.
May is Lupus Awareness Month
If you choose to give to The White Feather Foundation on this special day, we ask that you consider donating to the Lucy Vodden Research Grant Award, which was established in memory of Julian Lennon’s childhood friend who lost her battle with Lupus in 2009. We’ll have more updates on this initiative in the coming days — including a personal message from Julian.
There are also other ways you can help:
- Follow The White Feather Foundation on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and like/favorite/share the posts that move you.
- Post a selfie with the #conservelife hashtag to show your support.
- Share updates from our news feed about topics and causes dear to you.
Give Kindness and Compassion
More than anything, today is about standing together in unity. Whether it’s helping an elderly neighbor get groceries, sending a card of thanks to a first responder or sewing protective face masks for frontline workers, every small gesture of kindness will help us collectively heal in a big way.
Join us to #conservelife, stay safe and be well.
Thank you, Julian for all you do. I have suffered with lupus for over 20 years myself and with the exception of Plaquenil not much has been done to help me personally. There is so much that needs to be done to help diagnose and treat this disease. You are such a jewel. Thank you for just being you.
