TAPS for Hope: Supporting Afghan War Widows

TAPS for Hope: Supporting Afghan War Widows
The mission of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) is to offer immediate and long-term emotional help, hope and healing to all those grieving the death of a loved one in military service to America, regardless of their relationship to the deceased or the circumstances of the death. TAPS provides services that include the 24-7 National Military Survivor Helpline (800-959-TAPS), peer support, camps for children and teens, grief and trauma resources, emergency financial assistance and more.
TAPS has assisted more than 80,000 surviving families nationwide since 1994. In addition to serving grieving families stateside, they also have been doing incredible work with Afghan widows, who have been left with no resources and no way to support their families after the loss of their husbands, fighting and translating on America’s side. Afghanistan has the most widows per capita out of any country – over 70,000 in Kabul alone.
In Afghan society, the loss of a husband – often the only source of income for the family – means a loss of security and stability. TAPS found a new way to support these widows and their families while also lifting up their own mission of hope and healing through the Afghan Hope Project. With abundant supplies of high quality semi-precious stones available to them, TAPS has been employing these widows to make bracelets.
Each bracelet is handmade by an Afghan war widow from the Lapis Lazuli stones that are harvested in Afghanistan. The raw Lapis is milled into beads by an Afghan woman-owned business, and those beads are then crafted into bracelets by Afghan Army widows trained as artisans in Kabul.
When you purchase one of these beautiful bracelets, you are empowering a war widow with a living wage that, in turn, helps to financially stabilize and educate her family. 100% of proceeds go back to the women and programs in Afghanistan.
I was lucky enough to receive three samples of these bracelets. They are not only beautiful, but sturdy and well made. The color is bold, and they are pieces you can wear every day or with something more dressy. The versatility would make these bracelets a great gift this holiday season for sure.
I have added the Afghan Hope Collection to my Gifts & Products that Give Back list. You can go directly to their website to shop here as well.

Debates about philanthropy’s role have heated up since the 1980s, as the federal government cut taxes and support for many social programs, a series of recessions battered the economy, and economic hardship deepened and expanded. In this era of scarcity, philanthropy has been pulled into a much higher profile. Demands come from lawmakers seeking private …
Giving to our garbage collectors
One thing that I regularly like to do is buy yummy edible treats for our garbage collectors. I put the goodies into a plastic bag and then tie it to the handles of the garbage can on the days when they come. I do it about every few weeks or so (sometimes more, sometimes less) and always select something different. I love thinking about what I can select that I think they might enjoy. Being a garbage collector has got to be such a hard job in many ways, so I like them to know I think about them and appreciate what they do. It makes me feel really good every single time I do it!

Take Action to Protect Our Children #TakeActionForKids
This post was inspired and sponsored by Clean Air Moms Action. All thoughts and opinions, as per usual, are my own.
My kids missed school on Monday and Tuesday because of a massive wind storm that came through the state of Maine on Sunday evening. We were expecting some rain and wind. We didn’t expect the “unprecedented” storm that forced its way through the state. It was reported that two-thirds of the state was without power on Monday evening.
I was lucky. My property didn’t sustain any damage and we only lost power for 24 hours. I have natural gas and so was able to take a hot shower even without electricity. My water wasn’t affected, and my boyfriend brought over a generator so we could keep the refrigerator running enough and didn’t lose any food. We grilled dinner outside and played cards by the light of our camping lantern.
My town was hit pretty hard, even postponing Halloween until Friday. As I write this post, there are still many people without electricity and linesman from all over the Northeast working around the clock to clear the down lines and restore power. (Though I was ready to use the generator to create a smoking cauldron in my garage so I could pass out candy in a witch costume. Wind Shmind.)
One of my friends still without power shared with me how she filled two buckets of water from a nearby stream and walked it back to her house and how very thankful she was to be strong enough to do it. Storms like this make me think about issues like climate change and access to clean water and food security and all sorts of things that are affected by how we treat the environment. How often do we take for granted the simple things we have access to like electricity, food, water, even basic transportation from our cars or the ability to send our children to school?
My 8 year old helped me clean up after the storm in his (partial) Halloween costume.
Here’s another thing to think about. We rely on our government to ensure so much is safe – the food we eat, the air we breathe, even the toys our children play with. Have you ever stopped to look at what’s in your children’s Halloween makeup? If your child’s school was built before 1980, is it free from asbestos? What would happen to our air and water quality if there were no safeguards against pollution?
Two pieces of legislation, the Regulatory Accountability Act and the REINS Act, are moving through Congress and we can’t ignore them. They gut crucial federal safety protections we rely on to ensure that what surrounds us isn’t putting us in danger or making us sick. These are direct threats to public health that will have broad, overreaching consequences. It will also make it nearly impossible for agencies to implement and enforce commonsense safety laws that have broad public support.
The REINS Act would require Congressional approval of rules, effectively giving either branch of Congress or powerful lobbying groups, a “pocket veto” on safeguards. The Regulatory Accountability Act (RAA) would create hurdles to rulemaking similar to the one that kept America from banning asbestos.
The RAA has already passed the House and the REINS Act was recently placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. This is not good news. But you can take action. Clean Air Moms Action has a super easy click to email tool that allows you to email your members of Congress and tell them to protect our kids and communities by voting no on the RAA and REINS Acts. All you have to do is click on this link, fill in your basic contact info and Clean Air Moms Action will sent a message for you. It took me about two minutes to complete. It’s the least we can do for our kids and for each other.
Now if you will excuse me, I’ve got to practice my cackling for “Halloween” on Friday.
Helping Those Affected by Hurricane Harvey: Where to Donate, What (not) to Donate

Helping Those Affected by Hurricane Harvey: Where to Donate, What (not) to Donate
I am finishing up this post as Hurricane Irma is hitting the Caribbean, hoping I don’t have to write another one of these posts. I started it last week as I sat at my laptop working on my week 32 of #45 post. That post is still in draft because I felt the need to start compiling ways to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey instead. It just felt more needed. (And so you also won’t find a week 33 post.)
I have a friend that lost everything and is slowly rebuilding. I have two other friends who have loved ones in the area. While they are all safe, they are deeply affected by the storm and have shared ways to help. The storm is over, but it will take a lot of time to heal and rebuild.
Because I am who I am, I feel the need to do something. And because I can’t physically go down to Texas to volunteer in the relief effort, I felt the least I could do was share the helpful resources that have come across my newsfeed and inbox. I realize that not everyone might have these resources at their fingertips. (This is my way of simple giving.)
The following list was curated from sources I trust. Because we all give differently and each have causes that are closer to our hearts than others, I’ve included several options. These are in no particular order. Some have descriptions and others do not. If you see something that interests you, I encourage you to click on the link for more info on how to give. While money is probably the most efficient way to give, some organizations and groups might be looking for specific in-kind donations or volunteers (if you happen to be in the area or are able to travel to the Houston area).
If you are looking to go to the area to volunteer with the relief effort the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends checking with the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster website for a list of trusted disaster-relief organizations in Texas. There are also some good tips for volunteers on this page.
If you know someone who was affected by the storm, I’ve heard from friends that the best way to help is to send them money via a service like Paypal or Venmo. Like so many homes, banks were also flooded and destroyed by Harvey. The most direct way to help someone who has lost everything is to send them money they can access immediately so they can take care of their basic needs.
Here are some places to support the ongoing Hurricane Harvey relief efforts:
City of Houston Emergency Operations Center: How to Donate – From the website ~ “Financial donations still continue to be the preferred way of assisting survivors of the catastrophic flooding that occurred in our city. However, there is a need for medical supplies (not medications or services) as well as other items.”
Save the Children – Your support will help protect vulnerable children and provide desperately needed relief to families. A gift of $100 can provide a secure crib for a little one living in a shelter, help supply a safe space in shelters for 20 displaced children or many other items that are needed to care for the littlest survivors.
Greater Houston Community Foundation – After receiving an overwhelming number of inquiries from citizens and companies who want to help, Mayor Sylvester Turner and County Judge Ed Emmett have established the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund that will accept tax-deductible flood relief donations for victims affected by the recent floods.The fund will be housed at the Greater Houston Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Eight Days of Hope – Eight Days of Hope will be in Houston, Texas starting September 4th serving Hurricane Harvey survivors. They will “muck” out homes, remove furnishings, clean up debris and help as many families as possible – in any way possible.
YMCA of Greater Houston
Meals on Wheels Greater Houston
Circle of Health International – From a friend ~ “The Texas-based Circle of Health International is an Int’l org that provides reproductive, maternal, and newborn health care in crisis settings around the world. They’re providing financial resources to expectant parents and families with newborns affected by #hurricaneharvey to cover costs of food, clothing, transportation and healthcare.
HURRICANE HARVEY LGBTQ DISASTER RELIEF FUND – From the website ~ “Help our LGBTQ community members displaced by the storm today by giving to the LGBTQ Disaster Relief Fund, managed by the Montrose Center – Houston’s LGBTQ counseling and community center serving Houston for 39 years.”
Houston Food Bank – Every $1 donated provides 3 meals.
South Texas Blood and Tissue Center
Texas Diaper bank – The Disaster Relief program supplies those affected by natural disasters in Texas with diapers—the only organization in Texas specifically providing victims diapers.
Houston SPCA – The Houston SPCA is the lead nonprofit agency for animal-related disaster rescue, relief and resources in the region.
Houston Humane Society
Congregation Emanu El – They are running Hurricane Harvey Houston Day Camp, a program for those who need childcare while taking care of their lives in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
Jewish Federation of Greater Houston
St. John the Divine – As people grasp the scale of the disaster that was Harvey, St. John the Divine is mobilizing to meet the needs of its neighbors.
United Methodist Committee on Relief – UMCOR is currently working with disaster coordinators and early response teams in Louisiana and Texas to provide relief to the many people whose lives have been impacted by hurricane/tropical storm Harvey.
Islamic Society of Greater Houston – Mosques are serving as 24 hour relief centers
American Red Cross – You can also text HARVEY to 90999 to donate $10.
Samaritan’s purse: an international relief organization
Feed Harvey Evacuees (GoFundMe campaign) – From a friend’s email ~ “We have an AMAZING food scene here in Houston and they are all pitching in. Ronnie Killen has some of the best BBQ around and he is raising money to feed evacuees. Around here, BBQ is like a big ol’ bear hug so though it’s not a non-profit, please feel free to contribute.”
United Way of Greater Houston – United Way’s first priority will be safety, shelter and basic needs, like food. Once the community is stabilized, United Way will focus on long-term recovery efforts.
All Hands Volunteers

As per usual, I hope you will take the time to read and understand what’s going on and then take some action that goes beyond sharing a Facebook post or sending an email. If you have something to add, please do so via a comment.
I will continue to do this for as long as necessary. We can’t look away. Neither can the men and women we elect to represent us.

I’ve been on vacation in Canada with my two boys all week. It’s been a wonderful vacation and I couldn’t help but notice all the diverse families we’ve come across in our travels- all colors, ethnicities, religions, speaking different languages, etc. And guess what? They were all smiling and enjoying the sights of Niagara Falls just as we were. As it should be.
I hope you will take a few moments to scroll through this week’s post, pick a few articles and really read them. There is a lot of food for thought in this week 30. I may be on vacation, but I continue to curate this weekly roundup because we cannot turn a blind eye to the blatant hatred that is brewing in our country.

Week Twenty Seven of #45: Read. Act. #Resist
Things out now that we’ve hit week 27: Sean Spicer, transgender people in the military and healthcare (or so it seems.) Not a proud week.
Here’s my weekly roundup of articles, food for thought, ways to take action, ongoing resources and lighter stuff to keep sane. You can take a look back at week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10, week 11, week 12, week 13, week 14, week 15, week 16, week 17 , week 18, week 19, week 20, week 21, week 22, week 23, week 24, week 25 and week 26.
As per usual, I hope you will take the time to read and understand what’s going on and then take some action that goes beyond sharing a Facebook post or sending an email. If you have something to add, please do so via a comment.
I will continue to do this for as long as necessary. We can’t look away. Neither can the men and women we elect to represent us.
