Only money works for Syrian refugees

I’m glad that posts about Syrian children are going viral. I’m happy that the worst humanitarian crisis of our time is getting social media attention. I’m glad that there is a hashtag being used (#refugeecrisis)

At the end of the day, however, sharing or linking or liking a post does very little.

Refugees need food and supplies, which costs money.

This is the 5th year of this crisis and over 12 million people have been displaced. Many of them are children. Many of them are being killed only because they are Christians.

Enough talk! Send Money!

Forgo an iced mocha or a red box or a movie ticket and send some actual money. Here are two  options:

Samaritan’s Purse
World Vision

There are, of course, other charities. Find one you like and give!
