<<4>> back in the middle of july when we heard
<<7>> about the torrential rains causing what
<<9>> can be called the flood of the century
<<11>> for a number of communities in germany
<<14>> in belgium and the netherlands we were
<<16>> devastated
<<17>> as a doterra europe team we knew that we
<<20>> wanted to take action to help those
<<22>> affected 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 doterra
<<33>> when i saw the pictures from the flood
<<35>> for the first time i was shocked i was
<<38>> frozen i didn't actually realize the
<<41>> impact or the urgency that it was really
<<44>> through the flood how many people are
<<46>> affected
<<47>> i particularly remember that one email i
<<50>> received it was from a
<<52>> wellness advocate in belgium a lady that
<<55>> had lost everything i've seen the
<<57>> pictures of her destroyed house and and
<<60>> the last picture she sent us was the
<<62>> picture of her son lying in a little
<<65>> basket and underneath it said
<<67>> at least i was
<<69>> able to
<<72>> save the most important thing in my life
<<74>> that i have which is my son
<<79>> we
<<80>> had the idea to combine
<<82>> the wonderful oils the aromatouch hand
<<86>> technique and
<<87>> doterra healing hands and to bring
<<89>> everything to together i think it was
<<91>> also important to show my team that we
<<94>> can do something doterra showed us
<<97>> instantly within hours or a day
<<100>> that we can help and luckily we were
<<102>> able to find small ngos that were
<<105>> helping on the ground in belgium in the
<<107>> netherlands and in germany so 100 of the
<<111>> funds really went there where we needed
<<113>> them when i found out that doterra is
<<115>> looking for small ngos to support i was
<<118>> thinking about ngo that i know already
<<120>> he told me and said actually we have
<<122>> rented two big halls we have people from
<<124>> all over germany it was a fortune 600
<<127>> people a day
<<128>> and then we transport them to the places
<<130>> where they help and we give them
<<132>> equipment and so on so on something
<<134>> additionally we did were our little
<<136>> parcels with drop of hope that we could
<<139>> send to people within with an oil some
<<141>> other things that they would put to good
<<143>> use so that they could feel that we as a
<<145>> doterra family and letting them down we
<<148>> know about their hardship and we're
<<150>> supporting them directly there should be
<<153>> this heart of deterrent and the love for
<<156>> people in the center of that so i was
<<158>> very grateful that we had that
<<160>> opportunity through doterra and
<<162>> helping touch in germany i want to thank
<<165>> all of you who purchased the rose oil
<<167>> hand lotion before july of this year
<<169>> because of your purchases we had 60 000
<<172>> euros ready to donate without having to
<<175>> wait for fundraiser first
<<177>> in other words
<<179>> you contributed directly to those flood
<<181>> aid donations thanks to all of you who
<<184>> donated money to helping touch in less
<<187>> than just two weeks
<<189>> 18 000 euros were raised and with
<<191>> doterra europe matching that amount it
<<194>> became a total of 36 000 euros which
<<197>> goes a long way in the continued support
<<200>> of the flood relief efforts
