Why I Started a New Facebook Group Called Destiny Helpers, Part 1
The
other day, I got news of a friend in Ghana who was involved in a serious auto
accident. All four limbs were badly damaged, and the doctors have done several
surgeries to try and save this precious life. But there was need for more money
in order to carry out even more surgeries. I sent every single cash my family could
afford at the time, but it was still grossly inadequate for the need. That was
when I wished that there was a network of like-minded friends that I could have
asked to chip in a little here and there so we could send a larger pool of cash
to help this person.
The
longer I thought about it, the more I wondered if this might be a good
time for a platform of select destiny helpers to help each other along the way.
We may be scattered all over the world, but our needs are as legitimate as they
are varied. It is often true that one or more of us may well have a word of
advice, connection, or support that another member needs to fulfill a dream or
achieve a goal. As we know too well, the person at the receiving end today may
be the giver or helper tomorrow. Life is in phases. In fact, as we grow or
advance in life, our assignments may change or grow as well, necessitating new
opportunities and challenges. We will always need a community of destiny
helpers.
I
know that there are crowd-funding platforms out there, like indiegogo. But what
I envisioned is a community of generous people supporting each other in various
ways, that may or may not involve raising money. Sometimes, what people need
may have nothing to do with money, like putting in a word for someone looking
for a new job. And yes, sometimes, a little financial gift goes a long way as
well.
As
a result, I started this new group on Facebook called Destiny Helpers just for
that purpose. I started the group just about two days now, and it already has
over 300 members and growing. If you are interested in joining or just to check
it out, here is the link: Destiny

the next post, I will provide a few more details about this group, for those
who may be interested
