<<5>> - Back in the middle of July,
<<6>> when we heard about the torrential rains causing
<<9>> what can be called the flood of the century
<<11>> for a number of communities in Germany,
<<14>> in Belgium and the Netherlands,
<<16>> we were devastated.
<<17>> As a dōTERRA Europe team,
<<19>> we knew that we wanted to take action
<<21>> to help those affected.
<<23>> We reached out to our Leaders,
<<24>> and the response was simply overwhelming.
<<27>> It once again revealed, what is unique
<<30>> about our culture of caring at dōTERRA.
<<34>> - When I saw the pictures from the flood for the first time,
<<36>> I was shocked, I was frozen.
<<38>> - I didn't actually realize the impact
<<41>> or the urgency that was really through the flood,
<<44>> how many people are affected.
<<47>> - I particularly remember that one email I received;
<<51>> it was from a Wellness Advocate in Belgium,
<<54>> a lady that had lost everything.
<<57>> I've seen the pictures of her destroyed house,
<<59>> and the last picture she sent us
<<62>> was the picture of her son lying in a little basket,
<<66>> and underneath it said:
<<68>> "At least I was able to
<<71>> save the most important thing in my life that I have,
<<75>> which is my son."
<<79>> - We had the idea to combine the wonderful oils,
<<84>> the AromaTouch Hand Technique and dōTERRA Healing Hands,
<<89>> and to bring everything together.
<<91>> - I think it was also important to show my team
<<94>> that we can do something.
<<95>> dōTERRA showed us instantly, within hours
<<99>> or a day, that we can help.
<<101>> - And luckily, we were able to find small NGOs
<<105>> that were helping on the ground in Belgium,
<<107>> in the Netherlands and in Germany.
<<109>> So 100% of the funds really went there
<<112>> where we needed them.
<<114>> - When I found out that dōTERRA is looking for small NGOs
<<117>> to support, I was thinking about an NGO that I know already.
<<120>> He told me and said: "Actually, we have rented
<<122>> two big halls;
<<124>> we are people from all over Germany
<<125>> -it was 400 to 600 people a day-
<<128>> and then we transport them to the places where they help,
<<131>> and we give them equipment and so on and so on.
<<133>> - Something additionally we did,
<<135>> were our little parcels with "Drop of Hope"
<<138>> that we could send to people with an oil,
<<141>> or some other things that they would put to good use
<<143>> so that they could feel that we, as the dōTERRA family,
<<147>> aren't letting them down.
<<148>> We know about their hardship
<<150>> and we're supporting them directly.
<<152>> - There should be this heart of dōTERRA
<<154>> and that's the love for people in the center of that.
<<157>> So I was very grateful that we had that opportunity
<<161>> through dōTERRA and Helping Touch in Germany.
<<164>> - I want to thank all of you who purchased
<<166>> the Rose oil Hand Lotion before July of this year.
<<170>> Because of your purchases we had 60,000 euros
<<173>> ready to donate without having to wait
<<175>> for a fundraiser first.
<<177>> In other words:
<<179>> You contributed directly to those flood aid donations.
<<183>> Thanks to all of you who donated money to Helping Touch!
<<186>> In less than just two weeks, 18,000 euros were raised.
<<191>> And with dōTERRA Europe matching that amount,
<<193>> it became a total of 36,000 euros,
<<197>> which goes a long way in the continued support
<<200>> of the flood relief efforts.
<<202>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
<<204>> YOU ARE AMAZING
