MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON WORLD GIVING DAY 3 Ways You Can Give Back to Others

We do not achieve success alone, but with the combined support of our community, which is why giving back to those around us is important. World Giving Day is June 15 and is the perfect opportunity for everyone, myself included, to help those in need or simply do an act of kindness to lift others’ spirits. World Giving Day began when Reed Sandridge lost his job during the 2008 recession. Thanks to his savings, he discovered he could survive a year without a job as he searched for new career opportunities. Sandridge decided to do something special for his community. For that one year, he gave $10 to a stranger every day. Sandridge started a movement after sharing love and kindness with just a $10 bill. This World Giving Day, you can follow in his footsteps by sharing $10 or share something even greater: your time. Save a Life, Give Blood Donating blood can be even more precious than money to those who need transfusions. I recently learned that one person’s blood donation could save three lives. I know most of us are a tiny bit scared of needles. Yet, donating blood only takes 10 minutes, and just 10 minutes of courage can save someone’s life. Spend World Giving Day by giving the most treasured gift of all! Flowers for a Senior Care Facility Everyone loves a beautiful bouquet! Older adults residing in senior care facilities live away from their loved ones, and pretty petals could be just what they need to brighten their day. When you stop by to take flowers, you can chat with those who would love some company. We genuinely do not always realize how a small gesture can spread happiness. Share Cookies This example is my favorite way to give. If I do not have time to bake homemade cookies, I love to head over to my local Crumbl and order 20 individual boxes of delicious cookies and deliver them to my clients and friends. What better way to show your appreciation than fresh-baked cookies? I simply leave a box at their doorstep, shoot them a text, and wish them a wonderful day. Just a little effort can make a world of difference. Doing something selfless feels great! World Giving Day is the time for you to wonder, “How can I make someone’s day better?” and put that plan into action. I hope you spend this special day well and can spread a little love. We definitely are sending our love and appreciation to you!
