I’ve been wanting to make this post for like a month but here we are! And today is the day that the is hosting the first annual mad hatters ball fundraiser to benefit the doula program at . Now there’s a lot I wish to share here along with the call to come party/donate/participate in the wonderful community activities that has going on for south county families. I guess first and foremost if you have been feeling hopeless, this is your chance! Nothing cures despair like working/being in community. Secondly, we know now that the way to benevolent and safe communities is happy and healthy families. If the families are strong and taken care of, crime rates go down, hunger is down and school thrives which produces happy people. This may seem sentimental and subjective but it is not. It is actually very measurable. So the mission of is quintessential to our community.
And last but absolutely not least, my heart absolutely melts for like any endevour of mine, I volunteer to do something but it’s never just me. I have a whole community that sees that realized. And you see this week my students were asked to make hats (learn dexterity and creativity), make cookies, learn what a doula is, and they did that with so much strength, my heart can’t take it. And of course, this was done with the support of and their beautiful staff. For we should all be invested in where we live and the families that surround us.
If an injustice to someone is an injustice to all we can also understand that the opposite is true, standing by someone in your community is standing by all. Justice and love for one family will translate into the wellbeing of all.
So come out and party tonight at the and eat beautiful Jamaica tacos and mushroom tacos (the mushrooms were generously donated by ) and other goodies. Come down the rabbit hole with us and join us in a tea party for mad people that dream of a loving community 🐇
