Charity truly does begin at home, as the saying goes. It serves as a reminder that if we cannot show love and care for our own family, how can we extend that love to others? It is a valuable lesson for all of us to remember that charity starts within the walls of our own homes. We must first learn to wholeheartedly care for and love our family before we can share that love with the outside world. It is our primary responsibility to prioritize serving our family before others, and to fulfill our duties towards them above all else. While some may argue that this means prioritizing our family's needs over those of others, others interpret this proverb as emphasizing the importance of teaching children about charity within the home. Children learn by example, so when parents demonstrate love, generosity, and a commitment to social causes, their children are likely to follow suit and contribute positively to society. By setting a positive example, parents can instill the value of giving back in their children, who will in turn pass on these teachings to future generations. On the other hand, if children witness their parents mistreating those in need, they are more likely to replicate that behavior. Therefore, it is crucial to teach our children the importance of kindness and generosity, as it can help build a more compassionate and supportive society. #CharityBeginsAtHome #FamilyFirst #SpreadLove #CompassionStartsAtHome #ActsOfKindness

Is your child fascinated by trains? It's common for autistic people to be obsessed with things and trains are one of the top obsessions. Why though? It could be that they run to a schedule, they can be divided into different models, sizes, and colours. This is not a trait that you grow out of it's one that you adapt as you get older. Riding trains can be calming for adults and the scenery from the window is fascinating for a child. What is your child's obsession? #NationalTrainDay #TransformingAutismProject #AutismFamily #AutismSupport #Volunteer #AutismFamilySupport #Charity

When you support Christopher's Kitchen, you're helping families get a basic need taken care of - food. When families are in the hospital, or when there are children at the Child Advocacy Center getting help, the last thing they should worry about is where their next meal will come from. With big decisions to make and heavy emotions to carry, something as simple as a meal or snack can help them carry on. #ChristophersKitchen #Charity #Nonprofit #UPMCChildrensHospital #Pittsburgh #FoodPantry #Volunteer #GivingBack #Donate #FamilySupport #ChildhoodIllness #CommunityService #HelpOthers #Philanthropy #ChildHealth #ChildhoodCancer #PediatricHospital #ChildrensCharity #HospitalSupport #FoodBank #GiveHope #KidsHealth #FamilyCare #PittsburghCharity #ChildLife #ChildrensHospital #HealthyEating #ChildhoodDisease #FoodDonation #SupportLocalCharities

If you'd like a dose of inspiration this week, please consider joining us for the Up3 Annual Virtual Fundraiser Event. Yes, it's a fundraiser! Let's get that out of the way up front. And why would you want to join a virtual event knowing that we will want you to donate? Because the money supports foster kids as their mentors help them Unlock Passion, Potential and Purpose in their lives! I think we all know how hard it is to be a youth, a teenager, a person - under any circumstances. Now, imagine that you're a youth that doesn't even have a parent or two that will ALWAYS be in your corner or on your side. Up3 pairs foster kids with adult mentors who help them sort through life, help them determine their passions, support those passions, and more. Please consider registering for this event to learn more about what Up3 does, and how much help these kids need. One of these amazing young adults you see is one of my mentees, and even if you can't make the event, please consider making a donation during May, which is Foster Care Awareness Month. Let's help give these kids the support they truly need and deserve! up3atlanta.org/mayevent

Love-based support is essential for each of us, from the first steps to the whole journey through life. Especially, during challenges or difficult times that come into our lives sometimes gradually and sometimes rapidly. As a mother of four children myself, I can confirm that isolation is real. As parents or caregivers, I believe that we should teach our children as early as possible that emotions are real. Thus, they will be able to identify and express their feelings and ask for support as needed. Would love to see more curricula centered on parenting, communication, leadership, emotions, etc. which all could be linked to history, science, math, or language classes.
