Charity Support Consideration
Chronic illness communities are reaching unprecedented numbers. From the #millionsmissing campaign that aims to give visibility to the invisible, to advocacies that aim to project the voices of those who have become reduced to sitting behind a screen for their daily dose of connection, the fact remains that mystery illnesses have become a hidden pandemic. A subject so close to my heart, life and lifestyle, I know firsthand just how painfully isolating and devastating the toll long-term sickness can have on a person, a family, and as such it remains so vital to remember the unremembered. Broken systems push broken rules and chronic illness communities pay the price of not being enough to belong enough. What we need is awareness, support and education of the misunderstood, rare and unsuspecting illnesses that plague such a HUGE percentage of our population. A collective union is one that sees the struggle and pays it forward. Please consider visiting the sites/organisations below to either learn more about these common yet misunderstood illnesses and to also donate if you're able to. It's most likely that - if not us - we all know someone who is going through something like this - are a friend to them, a colleague, a family member, a carer or an acquaintance - and you will be doing people everywhere a huge favour just by showing your support, and showing your understanding, because you're saying 'I'm willing to understand your plight even if i'm not living it with you'. You'll be funding and helping people who need it, the support that is necessary and the vital, viable research that means we have something to look forward to. Help sufferers start fighting again, help them have a better quality of life, and help them maintain hope in the face of hopelessness. Let's have compassion, lets have understanding, let's improve the current way of living and providing for people who need a bit more help. We have a valuable perspective, valuable lives. We're human so help us to piece ourselves back into humanity or join us in our cause to make our societies more adaptable. If you happen upon this page and are managing a long-term illness, or are trying to find an ear supportive enough to listen, please don't hesitate to get in touch using either contact forms on this blog.
Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.
We believe no-one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We’ll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner. Local Minds

Vaishali @V.L. Book ReviewsA vehement reader. A passionate reviewer.
A fellow book reader and book lover who would much rather prance around in the realm of mystical, seductive fantasy than be cloistered by matters of the mind. I enjoy the ungoverned, zealous writings of fiction, romance and fantasy alongside the stormy turbulence of dark tales. Books are an essential part of my life and being able to share my experience with you will fill me with nothing less than gratitude. |
