It's raining a lot here in Brazil. A lot, in a city it rained the equivalent of a whole year in 3 days. So you figure that a lot of people lost their lives, their homes and their loved ones
I can't possibly imagine the pain they are feeling and the lack of hope. As I was watching the news today I saw some of the donations that the survivors were getting and an accessory caught my attention:
Not these, but a similar pair.
So, for a minute, put yourself into one of the survivors shoes. You just lost your home, with all the things that you treasured. You're living where your kids used to go to school. You might be unemployed, you lost family members and friends. You're hungry, you're cold, you don't know what future holds to you and you have to check the donations just to have something to wear and you see this.
You lost everything and some clueless chick decided that her 2008 pumps that haven't been seen on Instagram for over a decade are exactly what you need. What you deserve.
Not something comfortable, to give you a sense of comfortableness, during these troubling times. Not something practical, for when you go looking for a place to live, or to remake your documents, or even perhaps to find a new job, because after all, you can't live in a school forever. You are a survivor, but God forbids you become a burden for the people that instead of sending you something you might find a good use, send you their shit.
I know the world isn't kind right now. People are dying and sometimes you feel hopeless, because there are so many people that need your help and you don't have all the resources. But think, use that beautiful organ you were born with.
Think. Not about what you find beautiful, but what would you need if you were in those people's shoes. Don't send them dirty clothes, don't send them the shoes you don't want anymore but you don't get rid of it because they cost a lot.
Send them things they will need, think about a capsule wardrobe
Good, wearable clothes, that one can go look for a job, get groceries, find a place to live, hug their children. If you don't have the pieces, no problem. Send them soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, send them water, food, send them money, but don't send people what you don't want. Because nobody deserves to be treated as trash, as if their lives are as disposable as your fucking red pumps.
