2. I will create a personalized 7-day journaling template. The template will include activities like mindfulness, gratitude, affirmations, and more, depending on your specific needs.

When you purchase a Personalized Journaling Template, you are helping a mentally ill, disabled, or impoverished Indonesian person living in Bali.

These journaling templates are 100% donation-based, and all proceeds will go to SoleMen, an Indonesian non-profit organization that helps disabled and mentally ill individuals in Bali. No donation is too small, and every dollar makes a huge difference. By investing in getting help for what you struggle with, you help someone across the world with help for what they struggle with.

I have been overwhelmed by the response already, and due to the high volume of interest please allow me 2 weeks to complete your custom journal from the date you purchase.

Thank you so much for your purchase—your gift to the Balinesian goes such a long way, and I can’t wait to give you the gift of journaling!

Why Are You Donating to SoleMen?

After the rise of COVID in March, thousands of tourists fled Bali to return to their home country. On an island whose economy relies almost exclusively on tourism, the impact is devastating. This will impact the poorest people most, especially because the central government is focusing on helping investors and the business community—not the millions of Balinese who work in the service and hospitality industry.

“Solemen Indonesia, a charity that supports 2,340 people with physical and mental disabilities in Bali, says the most vulnerable in society are already hugely at risk” (Aljazeera).

“‘Most of our funding comes from the hospitality industry. How can we help people if we have no money?’ said Robert Epstone, the charity's British-born founder. ‘It will be potentially catastrophic if all our funding is withdrawn because it's all thousands of people in Bali have to fend off starvation.’”(Aljazeera)

Additionally, one of the major sources of donations for SoleMen comes from the Hard Rock Hotel in Kuta, which has seen a drastic drop in tourism since COVID. With two major sources of donations dwindling fast, SoleMen’s “SoleBuddies,” the people they support, need help.

Who Does SoleMen Help?

Your contributions help support over 2,000 people living in Bali with medical or mental conditions, as well as severely impoverished families. These individuals have no access to healthcare, or simply do not have the resources to learn about their conditions.

“Children in Bali are usually treated warmly by their families, but because the Solebuddies are a little bit different, many parents don’t know what to do with them or how to care for them. They often believe that it is a matter of black magic or karma that has cursed their child with a physical disability or illness…they often think that their child was a bad person in their previous life. They believe that their condition now is their karma and they will pay their debt to karma. It is really difficult to react to these situations but I always smile and say, ok let’s try this and let’s see if we can change things a little bit to improve it.” (SoleMen)

Your donation helps SoleMen purchase food, toiletries, and medicine for babies, toddlers, and the elderly. Donations also fund school tuition and supplies for adolescents and teenage girls at the YPCA Residential School for Disabled Children.

SoleMen also uses donations for medical supplies, wheelchairs, and inpatient kits for those who require hospital stays for their conditions.

Some of the conditions SoleBuddies struggle with:

• Autism

• Downs Syndrome

• Paranoid Schizophrenia

• Undiagnosed mental illness

• Cerebral Palsy

• Global Development Delay

• Bekkers Nevus Syndrome

• Learning impairments

While I cannot physically be in Bali to support the island I love so much, I hope to do what I can from afar.

Let’s lift ourselves up, and lift up those less fortunate than us in the process!

Happy Coping,
