Moms have organisational superpower to save the day

A plea went out on social media last week for donations — any amount, no matter how small — to help a young resident of our village, who didn’t have enough money to join his high school classmates on a one-off, potentially life-changing trip.

What happened next reminded me of the extraordinary strength within communities. A simple ask sparked a wave of generosity.

The mother who made the request doesn’t possess much materially.

But the nurturing instinct of mothers is a mysterious and beautiful thing.

Other moms, despite facing their own financial constraints, were the first to step forward, pledging support.

Within just two days, the collective efforts resulted in enough funds to ensure the young man could go on his adventure.

In a world where we’ve grown accustomed to the challenges of unemployment, hardship, and societal struggles, this act of kindness should become the norm, not a rarity.

It was a “mom thing”. Moms understand seizing opportunities, and when it’ sa two-for-one special, they know to grab it.

And if the bag seems a bit heavy, they’re not afraid to ask for extra hands.

Acts of unselfish kindness never go unnoticed where it counts the most: the collective unconscious.

I firmly believe that the essence of being human lies in seeking joy and peace.

Our collective unconscious, a repository of shared values transcending politics, religion, gender, or cultural backgrounds, becomes evident in

moments such as these.

It’s the image of a little girl sharing her water with a thirsty puppy, a towering university student graciously assisting an elderly lady through a door, or a group of moms pooling their resources to send a grade 10 pupil across the border for the first time, all expenses paid.

When we act from the heart, we tap into this collective, secret wisdom, and there’s nothing more potent than that.

Anyone suggesting otherwise simply hasn’t witnessed the transformative power of genuine niceness.

So, here’s to the power of moms, the strength of community, and the enduring affect of paying it forward.

In a world that often feels tumultuous, these moments of unity remind us of our shared humanity and the capacity for positive change.

It’s also good to know that when you’re in trouble, you should find a mom.

They get stuff done.
