My image selected is Refugee Trees- Story unedited
The Trees are walking away from the forest they’ve only known, fleeing invasive species that are killing them. Like refugees wandering into the unknown seeking safe grounds to flourish. I dedicate this picture to all the refugees worldwide who have endured this journey’s pain. I’ve donated money to humanitarian aides but still feel helpless as I watch this war unfold on Tv in my safe home. I will pay higher gas prices and bite my tongue as this is a small price for what Putin is doing to Ukraine and the world. I will cut back on other areas, like dining out, and buying unnecessary “stuff” and put that money towards Humanitarian Aid to help the people of Ukraine. I write that because I saw a Ukrainian woman on the news say to the world, “appreciate the little things in life like seeing blue skies and breathing fresh air.” I do appreciate the little things in life and do this also in honor of her request, as I have a roof over my head and food in my fridge and for that I’m grateful. My advice to you, the next time you bitch about inflation for the cost of food and gas think of Ukraine and what they are going through, and SHUT UP!
