GiveForward

Something beautiful happens when one gives. For a brief moment, the recipient and donor share space and time, either real or imagined, where both acknowledge a commonality, a connectedness that is part of our sense of humanity. Something tweaks the heartstrings of the giver, persuading him to part with hard earned dollars for the sake of a stranger. The beneficiary, in the act of asking, humbles herself, admitting an inability to survive without the kindness of strangers.

This act of giving, this connecting of different people across the globe, is what we hope each person who visits GiveForward will experience. Sometimes users will visit the site to raise money for a cause they believe in; sometimes that cause will be their own future. Other times, visitors will come to donate a few dollars here and there to projects they think are making a difference in this world. read more…
