Back in November, I made my first donation to the International Rescue Committee. I was moved by the images of the Syrian people I see floating to shore in Europe. The journey is tough and the loss these families are facing is so grave and so far from over. Women and girls are the most vulnerable, … Continue reading Why I Support the International Rescue Committee
