 BE the Change You Want to See, Don't JUST Vote For It

BE the Change You Want to See, Don't JUST Vote For It

Posted by Alex Shipley on Nov 4, 2024

As the election approaches, it’s natural to feel a mix of emotions—excitement, anxiety, and even uncertainty about the future. This pivotal moment in our country’s history calls for us to make our voices heard at the polls. But while voting is undeniably important, we must remember that making a difference in the world involves more than just casting a ballot.

Change doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not solely up to elected leaders. If you want to see a better world, you need to step up and take action yourself. Don’t wait for someone else to lead the way—be the change you wish to see.

One way to embody that change is by joining the Giver Army this Giving Tuesday. The Giver Army is a group of people committed to making a lasting impact through monthly generosity on GiveSendGo Charities. Whether you pledge a lot or a little, your donations, combined with those of countless others, will be pooled and turned into grants for people in need across GiveSendGo.

Here are a few testimonies from campaign owners on GiveSendGo who have received and been impacted by these grants from our Giver Army:

“My family and I wanted to thank each and every one of you! Today was a struggle for us; we were low on food and gas. Worrying when we were going to get some relief, and here it is—the prayer we’ve been asking for. Thank you so, so much for everything you do for us and other families. We are truly blessed to have people like you all in our lives.” - Samantha C.

“Thank you SO much for giving toward this home. This home will be filled with women and children leaving the brothels. It will be utilized to educate them and stabilize them so they might get their own jobs and homes and be restored to family, as well as have a relationship with Jesus!” -

“Chelsie and I were very surprised and honored to receive yet another one of God's blessings with the grant from the Giver Army. God has answered our prayers at least 4 times through miracles for the first few weeks of Willow's life, and since then has been keeping her and us wrapped in His hands. The stress of finances has been slowly reduced thanks to gracious angels like yourselves...” - Tony S.

“Thank you so very much for giving! It has brought light into a dark place for me and my family. I pray God will bless you, and you will know that your gift will be used to literally change a family's life.” - Sonya W.

“I honestly don’t know how to thank you enough. I see things like this happen to other people and never imagined in 1 million years a miracle like this would happen to me...” - Colleen W.
