A lot of us read stories of the horrors and suffering Iraqis and Syrians are enduring at the hands of the savages who go by the name of ISIS (or ISIL or Daesh) and wish there was something we as individuals could do to help them. Well, there is. Preemptive Love is an organization doing great work in Iraq helping people who've been terrorized and displaced by ISIS, and they rely almost completely on the support of donors. If you're interested in doing something meaningful to help the victims of Islamic extremism I urge you to visit their website here.
Over the years Preemptive Love has been committed to bringing medical care to children in desperate need of surgery, particularly heart surgeries, but recently they've undertaken to deliver food, water and medical supplies to thousands of people caught in the current battle to retake the city of Fallujah from ISIS.
As soon as the Iraqi military liberates a suburb from ISIS control, Preemptive Love moves in behind them to deliver life-saving aid, all of which is provided by ordinary people who contributed because they wanted to do something to make a difference.
It's a great organization doing wonderful work to alleviate human suffering. I hope you'll check them out.
