Jackson Gallagher Instagram – In 2018 over 70 million people where displaced from war, persecution and conflict. That’s almost 3 times the population of Australia.
Children make up almost half of the refugee population. Some of who are fending for themselves as they flee conflict without parents.
As I tucked my 2yr old son into bed tonight, I kept thinking what if that was him, what if that was his story. It’s heart breaking knowing that this is the reality for so many children in the world.
Displacement is a complicated global problem and if you are like me you will often feel overwhelmed and at a loss of how to make a meaningful contribution. A small gesture to begin with is to donate to Australia for UNHCR’s Lost Childhoods appeal, which ensures refugee children have protection, safe accommodation & psychological trauma support.
