Kyra CarpenterAs I’m sure most of you know already, NEED’s office was broken into a few weeks ago. All our equipment was stolen and the office was vandalized. It was quite a blow for our little team. We are trying to put the pieces back together and have been surprised by the outpouring of love from readers, colleagues and friends of NEED. Here is what some of you have had to say to us.

“Hi to all the team at NEED. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. In the words of Pericles - “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” If NEED were never to publish another magazine, know that the contribution you have already made to the world is a precious one that has touched the hearts of many. Blessings and much love, Arcadia” – subscriber

“Hi, I feel sorry for you about this, this is not a nice present for the new year… Despite this bad event, I wish you all the best for this new year and hope that you will catch up soon… Best, Yan” – contributing photographer

“Dear Kyra, I just saw the news about what happened! We’re so very sorry to hear about the recent robbery in your office! If there is anything that we can do to help, please let us know. Sincerely, Audrey” – contributing organization

“Hi, I am sorry to hear about the break in. I don’t know what it’s worth, but if I can help with anything I’m happy to volunteer my time. gratia vobis et pax, TK” - subscriber

“I’m deeply sorry to hear this guys… Stay hopeful. I’m confident that NEED will survive this. Let me know if there’s anything I could do. Best wishes - Thomas” – contributing photographer

“I am SO sorry to hear this. I recently received a trial issue and will drop the check for a subscription into the mail tomorrow. I love what you’re doing and can’t believe this has happened. Be strong and know you’re appreciated for giving so many people a voice. Dallas” – subscriber

“Dear Stephanie, This is absolutely terrible news. I am sure the NEED team will bounce back soon. My good wishes are with you and please do let me know if there is anything I can do to help. All the best and look forward to hearing from a fit and rejuvenated NEED team. Best Regards, Kaushal” - photographer

“Hey Kelly, Steph! Hang in there kiddies. Diamonds are formed under pressure as they say! I believe in you guys! Davey” – friend of NEED

Thank you everyone for all of your support!
