I wrote this story for Giving Tuesday’s #MyGivingStory campaign. #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. As part of the campaign, people are encouraged to share their stories with the following prompt:
What inspires you to give back? Did you, or someone you know, give time, donate money or goods, or share skills to have a meaningful impact? Is there a moment or an event that changed the way you think about generosity? Who is the most generous person you know, and how have they influenced you?
