I am appealing to Queen Elizabeth of France, Prince William,
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, Mr. Bill Gates, Mr. Donald Trump, Michael
Jordan, Mr. Manny Pacquiao , Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Mr. Tiger Woods, Ms. Martha Stewart, Mr. Henry Sy,
Mr. Gokungwei of Robinsons, the Signature Brands - Louis Vuitton, Prada,
Chanel, De Beers, Toyota, BMW, Porsche, Revlon, and all other people millionaires/billionaires to
please let us join hands in helping the refugees. Do not look at me, I may not
be somebody. It is not me who is important here
but this important message I wanted to tell you. It is time to give back. Here
is the chance to show the world WHO you are. Riches are for the living and what
happens when your life shall fade tomorrow? I am just suggesting I am not asking or collecting donations, to clarify. Have you done something worth
remembering? Will you leave a legacy for the next generations to
celebrate and love?
Money can make things better, and that is what all those persons and companies have to solve the issue. A maybe forgotten hectares of land somewhere can be bought and transformed into a safe haven for the refugees, plus factories or workplace to employ them and sustain the lives of those unfortunate people. Because a place to live is not enough for their survival unless living is sustainable.

I know some of you have extended help to others in some way
like providing food or scholarships etc. , but this time refugees are begging for their lives to be spared. We do not
hold the ‘trigger’ that might kill them but in our hands HOPE exists. I wanted
to take part in reaching-out to the refugees, I want to give them this strand
of hope I am holding in my hand – that this little blog will reach the
authorities and the concerned to help them LIVE. It may sound like a drama but
this is really what I feel at this moment and I would never want to waste this
chance, any precious minute to do what I could possibly can to support their
struggle for life.
The refugees are humans but today they were treated like stray animals being refused to be owned.
I hope that the European Union can make
a program like “Adopt a Refugee”
wherein “able” people can act like a
foster family to those helpless people thru EU’s arbitration and surety that
they will not be abused nor slaved. And that “they will not just be given fish but the way to catch their own..” work
to sustain their living. I was deeply saddened to the News at Al Jazeera with a
heading “No space for dead refugees…”
Oh my, my heart is aching for these people, trying to put
myself in their place…where me or my family have no place to go and that we are
not given a chance to live…” I am challenging politicians around the globe to
do what they can to help the refugees. This is the time to show us what you can
do. Thousands die in every headline I read. I remember the child drowned and
afloat somewhere when their boat sank escaping from the civil war in their country, that scene was viral
on Facebook. My heart was hammered to see the remains of that little helpless
child. What if he is mine? Oh my, we got to do something. I only have the power
of writing and knocking to the heart of my readers as of today. Had I been
billionaire or just a millionaire, I would have done more than this.
I understand the economic impact on a country IF entertaining the idea, like here in the Philippines – still we are indebted and
our own citizens are still experiencing poverty, meaning we are not yet
self-sustainable and additional population needs more budget absorbing refugees may not be that good.
Thank you very much to
Germany (who have even transcribed their Laws in Arabic for the refugees to understand), Pakistan (If I am not mistaken) that you have accepted the refugees warmly. I am not an award-giving
body to recognize your efforts but rest assured your kindness shall live in my
heart and to those who can read this blog. European Union is also very much concern of this issue, in fact the countries encompassing EU have decided to distribute refugees in each country.
I pray that this blog post will haunt the hearts of many
people (I wish but this blog has only thousands of readers a month) – to move
swiftly to save more lives. I would love to hear the laugh of those affected
children and families, I would want to see them dine together or go to church
together. Let us give hope. Let us be the hope. Let us prove that the pen still has power…
If you like the idea, please plus. Please re-share this post to your favorite social sites and
together let us call the attention of other people to extend help at least we
have done our part – even if we could not act more. There is nothing impossible
with our good intentions, I hope so…I hope so…
