“Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.”
— Mother Teresa
Why don’t we have an Amazon or other large corporation wish list?
While it may be easier, it doesn’t align with our values of supporting local and abstaining from supporting those whose values are contrary to our own. We have serious concerns about trusting our money to the wealthy 1% who grow in power and wealth but don’t distribute it fairly and often even fund anti-human causes.
