Initiated by Watertown resident Diane Crowley and enthusiastically co-sponsored by Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice & the Environment and World in Watertown
WATERTOWN COMES TOGETHER TO HOST MASSAGE AID FOR YEMEN
It started with a desire to help the people of Yemen who according to
the United Nations, are currently enduring the worst humanitarian
crisis on the planet. From there it grew into a collaborative effort
revealing the true kindness and common humanity of the people of
Watertown.
Six local massage therapists and Reiki practitioners have come
together to donate their therapeutic skills to host a fundraiser
called MASSAGE AID FOR YEMEN with all the proceeds going to Doctors
Without Borders earmarked for Yemen. The First Parish Church of
Watertown has graciously donated the space. Watertown Citizens for
Peace, Justice & the Environment, World In Watertown and The Survival
Education Fund, Inc. are co-sponsoring the event and helping to
advertise it through their newsletters, social medial accounts and at
their events. Many local small businesses, churches and non-profits have
enthusiastically agreed to post fliers for the event in their windows
or on their community bulletin boards and Trader Joe’s in Allston has
generously offered to donate food for the event.
There are many heartwarming stories about the response this event is
generating throughout Watertown. These two vignettes are just a small
sample. Four students at the Lower School at Perkins School for the
Blind were paid the going rate of 75 cents for small jobs around the
school to distribute MASSAGE AID FOR YEMEN fliers on each floor of the
school. One student became the first contributor to the fundraiser by
donating her pay of 75 cents when she learned more about the cause.
The secretary at United Cerebral Palsy on N. Beacon St. was so
enthusiastic about the event, she offered to scan the flier and send
it out to all of their group homes!
Please join us on Sunday, May 5th and do something good for the people
of Yemen while doing something good for yourself at this relaxing
fundraiser. Event details are below:
