*Each One, Support One* Do you recall the "each one, teach one" initiative? In my childhood, its impact resonated deeply with me, spurring me to urge my mother to initiate educational sessions for underprivileged children in our community. Such a simple campaign but what a thought provoker! Looking back, I've often pondered the profound impact that even one privileged individual can have by giving back to those in need. Privilege, whether as fundamental as sight or as complex as socio-economic status, empowers us to assist others in ways both significant and transformative. We, at Saanjha, have seen how volunteering by the willing and small donations by friends is slowly but surely transforming lives. It is through the collective enactment of small acts of kindness that we can effect meaningful change. In a world where self-interest often takes precedence, the art of giving stands as a beacon of hope, reminding us of our capacity to uplift and support one another. There are different ways of doing this- mentoring, donations, volunteering time and skills, lending a listening ear, offering emotional support, or simply being present for someone in need. Each act of giving, no matter how small, has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of others. Each one ,Support one -whether its a cause, an individual or a community ! #smallactsofkindness #artofgiving

On this #GivingTuesday, I would love to remind you to donate to an organization with a mission you value, which will be a hard choice because there are so many worthy causes. I have a lengthy list of nonprofits that I love to support, but today I am going to focus on a new nonprofit in the OKC metro that has had a personal impact on my life this year. This picture is a prime example of why representation matters. My son, Beckham, utilizes a g-tube to receive his daily nutrition. It's not super common for us to see other kiddos like him unless we are surrounded by our medical family community. It's easy to connect with those individuals online, but not always in person. It takes quite a bit of effort to leave the safety of our home, especially in the midst of sick season (which is 24/7 for us it seems), but there is something so special about being in a room of people who get it. This is where Ultimate Shift comes in to help. Ultimate Shift coordinates events in our community to connect friends and family for fellowship and fun! We apply macro concepts that tend to happen once a year or once in a lifetime, to create more frequent micro community opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families. We use simplistic creativity to help minimize isolation and open up a world of new experiences for friends and family who can thrive with a little extra support. If you are looking for an organization to support this Giving Tuesday, I would love for you to consider a gift in Beckham's honor to Ultimate Shift.
