In 2015, Josie Naughton and her friends could never have imagined how a single act of compassion would grow into a beacon of hope for millions. Compelled by the urgent needs of refugees arriving in Europe, they turned to social media, hoping to gather a modest collection of donations. What followed was a heartwarming surge of generosity that laid the foundation for Choose Love. This wasn't just about donations; it was a movement powered by love and solidarity.
Eight years on, Choose Love has become a testament to what humanity can achieve when united by compassion. Raising over $100 million, the organization has extended its support to over 5 million displaced people across the globe, through more than 475 partner organizations in 41 countries.
Each contribution tells a story of hope, each volunteer's effort symbolizes a step towards a kinder world. Josie's journey from a simple call for help to leading an organization that embodies the very essence of love and care is a powerful reminder of the impact a few determined hearts can have on the lives of many.
🗣️ “The mission of Choose Love is to work toward a world that chooses love and justice every day for everyone.” - Josie Naughton
