Natural Healing Omaha<\/a>)<\/p>\n The young barista has a long history of social media activism starting with her support for displaced Iraqi children on her MySpace page dating back to 2001. \u201cBack then, I remember liking the fact that they were in Iraq. When I wanted to check on them, I would just run a quick Google search \u2013 I didn\u2019t have to see them in person, it\u2019s just less pressure that way,\u201d said Ferniene. <\/p>\n
Ferniene confided to reporters on Wednesday that she believes in her heart that most people feel the same way she does, but are not brave enough to admit it. \u201cI sign in every morning only to be bombarded with hundreds of likes and comments on pictures of Gaza. I really believe in my heart that people enjoy their personal space when it comes to refugees, and keeping them a mere 30 miles away just makes them seem more desirable. After all, absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sources have communicated the local refugees\u2019 disbelief of this preferential refugee treatment. \u201cWe\u2019re right here\u201d claimed an anonymous inhabitant of Sabra camp, \u201cwhat about my Facebook shares?\u201d<\/p>\n
In a related development, we recently found out that Natalie has dedicated all her social media efforts to supporting the Christians of Iraq. <\/p>\n
