Summary

Susan Ramirez and Jon Huckins are giving their all in some of *the* hardest work: lending voices and love to two communities who are suffering deeply. In our last episode of For the Love of Giving, we’re going to talk with Susan and Jon about the problems their communities face, and how we can give our time and privilege to help solve these complex problems. First up, Susan Ramirez is the CEO of National Angels, an org that walks alongside children and their caretakers in the foster care system. Today, we learn how one National Angels program is changing lives by providing love and belonging to kids who need it most. In the second half of the show, we talk with Jon Huckins. Jon is the co-founding director of the Global Immersion Project, a peacemaking training organization that equips people of faith to engage our divided world in restorative ways. Jen and Jon discuss how we can be good brothers and sisters to our neighbors who are suffering on the border, and how those with privilege can use it to fight on behalf of their marginalized neighbors.

0:45.7	problems that have just a lot of nuance and without necessarily clear solutions.
0:52.0	And we're able to talk about situations filled with people at the intersections of
0:56.3	margin and power where some of the most vulnerable members of our community fall through
1:01.8	the cracks or face with pain.
1:04.2	I think when we encounter problems like that, it's just easier to look away.
1:10.3	It is.
1:11.3	When we maybe aren't close enough to it or we're not in proximity to someone else's
1:15.0	pain in that conversation or it doesn't affect us in any way, it's just easier to turn
1:20.5	our minds toward other things, lighter things, happier things, especially when we all have
1:25.8	our own stuff we're dealing with.
1:26.8	I get it.
