Dear Friend Familia & Extended Community, As some of you may know, our beloved friends Astro and Samaria are presently on the brink of birthing their two little Twinnies Earthside and beginning their fast-tracked and double blessed new Family life! Inspired by this courageous and heart lead undertaking, we are putting a call out to gather funds to assist these beautiful beings in the enormous and unexpected timing that this Twin adventure requires. As they approach the end of their pregnancy, with a few short weeks to go, life’s current hurdles and circumstances have caused a shortage in funds for them. So instead of physical gifts or a gift registry, what we feel would really support Astro and Samaria at this time, is a fund that we can pool together as a community/collective so that they can have access to the rest of the essential items and care that they need. Whilst they prepare the nest for their twin babes, our Mama and Papa to be are doing their best to keep costs at a minimum. Though reality is even when birthing in the public system and sourcing mostly all secondhand items, everything is still double with twins for these guys and so it really does adds up! To add further challenge most of their known community, friends and family all live at a distance and are thefore hindered in the ways they would like to give and support this beautiful couple on a practical level. So we feel that this here is the avenue to provide a means to do just that. Effectively and from afar. So whether you know these these sweethearts well or not, please watch the video we have added here so you can feel them and receive their brave reach out, which we as some of their close friends and organisers of this campaign encouraged them to vulnerably share. And for those who know the caring nature of Samaria and Astro, you would know they are both such generous-hearted beings who truly love to give and be of service to their friends and their community. The real humanitarian type who take heartfelt pride in being people others can turn to and rely on in times of need. So with this ongoing ethos of giving over the years and as a way they each operate, We truly feel it is their time now to receive. Allowing the considerations, blessings and generosity of others to reach them at their time of need. So in replacement of your presents or presence in their lives, your monetary contributions are going to be the best and most effective way to provide this soon to be family of 4 with the remaining resources they still need and are going to need moving forward into the post-partum phase and new family life on the horizon. Let’s show these special humans what’s possible when we come together in our humanity and in our giving. Inspired as the modern version of “the village” to participate in creating a truly positive and meaningful impact on this blossoming new family in need and the blessing that these two new little souls are bringing as next generation members of our Community. So without further delay, we warmly invite you to join us in together making this campaign a roaring and radiant success in reaching our amended target for this Family and Twinnies on the way. Because if anyone deserves this helping hand and injection of supportive-enabling love, it's these guys!
