This Family Sanctuary Is Giving Abandoned Cats A Loving Home
21 jun 2019 13:28

Venezuela resembles a land from a post-apocalyptic novel. You can see modern skyscrapers but cannot charge your phone. You can have a computer, a mobile and a flat-screen TV but still have to cook on wood-burning stoves. While shopping it’s more practical to weight money rather than count it. Millions of people are running away from the country and those who stay, often starve.

Heartbreak is a cruel mistress – it is something we all risk when falling in love, and when we are struck down by it there is little else to do but ride out the pain. For some people, it can be a soul-crushing experience that they never truly recover from. For others, though, it can be the catalyst and motivation for fundamental change, a change that could only have risen from the ashes of a former life set aflame and burned to the ground.
