Life is uncertain! As much as we want to prepare for our future, plan ahead of time and think of only good things, sometimes, life will catch us off guard
Just like what this pandemic did to us.
It’s been more than a year and this has become the new normal. Many lives were affected including businesses, economy, governments, frontliners and the list goes on. The painful reality is we don’t know when it will end.
It hurts us in so many ways but at the same time teaches us so many things in life. It made us realize the importance of reaching out to others and clinging more to God in this season of our life.
One of the good things I encountered during this time is seeing how each mom in our community became closer to each other, supporting and building each other up despite the situation we are all facing in. This mom community became a way to help those affected by COVID-19 financially, spiritually, and emotionally.
Simple prayers and encouragement mean a lot to those affected because they can feel that they were not alone in this battle. They found an extended family with the support provided by fellow moms and this encouraged them in fighting their own battle against the virus.
Our BB Momma community became a responsible social mover not only within its community but extended it outside the community as well through BBHelps and BBCooks.
Some of the moms in the community become part of the BBCooks and offer their time to cook food for our frontliners and some informal settlers that needed food to survive their day.
Some give monetary and kind donations to help those affected by the pandemic especially those who were sick and unemployed.
Other moms also offer prayers and encouragement to those who badly need it and I can say that those prayers and words of encouragement can boost the fighting spirit of everyone.
All of us are affected by this pandemic but it did not stop our mom community to be of help in any way to others who needed us the most. Every donation, big or small, can make an impact in these trying times, and together with Brandbuzz family, we are here to help in every possible way we can.
Recently, BBMommas volunteers are doing a meal train for those members in the community who were affected by COVID-19. They will cook food or order food for lunch or dinner so that it will somehow help and ease the burden of those moms while they are in quarantine.
These are all acts of kindness and no one is forced to do so and with our mom community, you will feel that yes you are loved and you will not feel alone in this battle. We are all in this together and we will face this pandemic with each other!
