ASMR Taking You To A Real Liberian Orphanage Where Helping Others Helps You | Chill ASMR for good

Come with me on a quiet, whispered adventure and meet Isabel, who founded her own orphanage after the Liberian Civil War. You can find out more about her orphanage here: http://becominghero.ninja/despite-bullets-and-hunger-isabel-saves-orphans-in-liberia-superheroalert-dogood/ And you can help sponsor a child at Hishandssupportministries.org/liberia

I've carefully vetted the 501c(3) organization for you, making sure what Isabel is receiving matches what is being given to the organization, and I've even dug into their financial reports and sponsorship lists; they're very transparent and forthcoming, and because they are 100 percent a volunteer organization, unlike big corporate charities like Compassion International, when you sponsor 100 percent of what you give goes to that orphanage.

Isabel grew up in Liberia around the time of the Civil War. Four of her siblings were killed during the war, one by an accident she never specifies, one by raging diarrhea–one of the leading causes of death in the majority world; there was a sister whose death I cannot remember, and another, most horribly, she describes as being butchered like an animal, chopped into pieces. The way she looks away when describing this tells me she saw this happen right in front of her.

Isabel and her husband used to go to the refugees camps to share what little food they had with the refugees. One day, very early in this process, Isabel noticed a little child running around who seemed lost. She asked for his parents, and the people said the child just didn’t have any. Isabel became concerned about the children with no parents, and as her eyes opened to more and more of them she determined in her heart to give them a place to live, and a family of some kind.

When she mentioned the idea to people in her church circles, they laughed. It was a running joke, she told me: “you have nothing, and here you want to take all these children?”

But Isabel is a woman of solutions instead of problems.

Thanks for watching! Please help support these kids. Even $1 a day helps.

Jen is not your therapist. If you need your own therapist, please go to your primary care physician and ask them to refer you. Ask for someone skilled in CBT. Alternatively, there are therapists you can talk to online affordably (betterhelp.com/doctorjen) While Jen is a real doctor, she is not YOUR doctor; nothing she says is official medical advice, diagnosis, or disease treatment, because she has not physically examined or spoken with YOU.
