Introduction
My guest this week is Aaron Murphy – known on Instagram and TikTok as simply @MurphsLife. Aaron is best known for sharing heart-warming videos that go viral every week, showcasing himself and his team providing direct relief to people they meet in places like Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. Not only do Aaron and his team provide immediate relief in the form of money, food, shelter and medical treatments – they also give employment opportunities and self-sustaining businesses to those in need. Incredibly…social media makes it all possible as followers of @MurphsLife make regular contributions to keep the charity running.
Get ready to hear about Aaron’s mission to help the less fortunate, and how YOU can help too!
