Our world is dealing with a humanitarian crisis of unfathomable scale and experiencing the greatest migration in human history. If there is one thing that I have learned from working on the ground with refugees on the island of Lesvos, across mainland Greece and in Macedonia, it is that there is something that each and every one of us can do to help fellow humankind in a time of need.

​

"I cannot stand by idly any

longer as people wash ashore half a world away – dead and alive, old and young, sick and injured, disheartened and afraid

– facing an unfathomable plight with no end in sight. Refugees

are human beings who deserve dignity and attention."

for survival and opportunity,

of hope and faith."
