LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 19, 2023 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — āI never realized until I had my first son just how much you can love another person and just how far youāre willing to go for them,ā says Scientologist Cristal Logothetis. In an episode ofĀ Meet a ScientologistĀ on the Scientology Network, Logothetis describes how she came across the image of a three-year-old boy who drowned off the coast of Greece at the height of the Syrian refugee crisis.Ā She was then riveted by news reports of thousands of families arriving in Greece. Parents carried their babies and toddlers in their arms as they trekked across Europe in search of a safe place to raise their families.

Logothetis set up aĀ crowdfunding website to collect 100 baby carriers for these families. The response was overwhelming. Within days, she had not merely surpassed her goal, sheād rented and filled several storage lockers with more than 900 carriers.
Meet a ScientologistĀ travels with Logothetis to Greece. She was joined by another woman who simply learned about the project online and volunteered to go with her. They distribute these carriers, showing moms and dads how to use them, often having to resort to sign language.
Her simple act of kindness has grown into an international movement. Today, her nonprofit,Ā Carry the Future, has more than 50 volunteer staff and some 6,000 global volunteers. It provides aid to refugees, especially moms and babies, in countries includingĀ Greece, Jordan, Cyprus, Yemen, Bangladesh, and at the U.S./Mexico border.
āOne of the amazing things about Carry the Future is that it attracted people from the first day from all walks of life. And it all starts with one person helping one other person,ā says Logothetis. āFor us, it was simply a humanitarian mission to make sure that the most vulnerable people on the planet have an opportunity to get help.ā
Carry the Future changed the narrative, because it showed people that theyĀ tooĀ could get involved. āAt the core of our message is āYou can make a difference; you can do something about it,āā says Logothetis, āwhich also happens to be very much at the core of Scientology.ā
