In an increasingly divided world, let’s choose to embrace the spirit of #GivingTuesday and the broader #GivingSeason as we reflect on the impact our individual and collective acts of charity can have on others. A simple gesture such as supporting a free clinic, donating needed items, tutoring a student to advance their education, or contributing to disaster relief – can truly change lives. Today, I encourage everyone to give to a cause of choice or donate your time to better the life of another using your unique skills. Don’t have a cause in mind? Consider Surgery on Sunday Inc, a unique organization that provides free medically necessary outpatient surgery to uninsured and underinsured low-income individuals. Think kids that need their tonsils out, cataracts to restore sight, hernia repair and gallbladder removals. Surgery on Sunday truly changes lives one surgery at a time!

Day 6 of Donate Life Month's Spirit Week is an uplifting way to promote organ, eye, and tissue donation. That's because today is Create "Donate Life" Rocks day. Painted rocks have become a trend in communities all over the United States. The mission is simple: you paint a rock and place it somewhere for someone to find. Once found, someone picks up the painted rock and eventually places it in a new location. Painted rocks get traded out for other rocks with other messages. Some rocks say Kindness Matters. Some just have a simple design meant to brighten someone's day. A Donate Life rock, however, helps promote the ongoing need for organ, eye, and tissue donors to help give people the gift of life or sight. It symbolizes a message of hope for someone waiting for a life-saving or life-changing surgery. But, more importantly, for donor families, a Donate Life rock is a small token of the selfless gift their loved one gave to help someone in need. #lebw #givingthegiftofsight #donatelifemonth #spiritweek #donorfamilies #transplantrecipients

We know from personal experience, that discovering your baby or child may require heart surgery can be an exceedingly difficult and worrying time. At Down Syndrome UK (DSUK) we work hard to provide information and support to parents of children and young people with Down syndrome, and so we created PADS Heart Buddies to provide support to families of our babies and young children. Heart Buddies are parents whose little ones have previously undergone the same/similar procedure, who have kindly volunteered to virtually hold your hand and provide support, offering understanding and practical advice throughout this stressful period – from initial hospital appointments to surgery and through to recovery. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eyHTeQWm If you're in the UK and a parent of a child with Down syndrome, we'd love to welcome you to one of our groups: https://lnkd.in/expmeA82 #DownSyndromeUK #HeartBuddies #HeartWarrior #PositiveAboutDownSyndrome #Charity #DownSyndromeAwareness #NobodyToldMe #LivedExperience

🌟 As many of you know, I've been incredibly fortunate to be part of something truly meaningful with Relief for Human Suffering Foundation. It's a journey of compassion and transformation that has touched the lives of over 15,000 individuals in Africa since 2021. But there's more to be done! As part of the foundation’s funding appeal this #GivingTuesday, I've set up a personal fundraiser because there's a specific challenge we face: providing transportation for people in remote Nigerian towns to access critical surgeries for cataracts in our local partners’ city hospitals. Astonishingly, nearly half of those identified with cataracts during our outreaches never make it for the free life-changing surgeries, simply due to lack of transportation. Your donation isn't just a number; it's a lifeline. It'll directly enable someone to reach the hospital for a surgery that could change their world. Whether you can give a little or a lot, your contribution brings us closer to a world where everyone has a chance at clear vision and a brighter future. Join me in this personal quest to ensure no one is left behind. Click the link below to be part of this journey toward compassion and change. Your support means the world to them - literally. 🚐💙 #SightForAll #donateforchange #cataractsurgery #donateforchange #africarising https://lnkd.in/eqp8DaFa

One Order - One Smile: A Mission to Bring Smiles 😁 In celebration of Droppii's birthday month 🎉 Droppii is partnering with Operation Smile to bring smiles to children in Vietnam with cleft lip and palate. Vietnam has a high incidence of cleft lip and palate👁with about 1 in 1,000 babies born with cleft lip and about 1 in 2,500 babies born with cleft palate. ❌As of 2017, approximately 15,000 children in Vietnam have not received treatment for cleft lip and palate. A cleft lip surgery takes about 45 minutes and costs around 10 million VND (about $400). This is not a significant amount of money for families who are financially well-off, but it can be a significant financial burden for families who are struggling to make ends meet 🎈 For every successful order, Droppii will donate a corresponding amount to Operation Smile💖From November 1, 2023 to November 30, 2023, the amount of donation will increase gradually according to three revenue milestones: ✨ Milestone 1: Hope Total revenue reaches 11 billion VND, Droppii will donate 2,000 VND per order to Operation Smile. ✨ Milestone 2: Spread Total revenue reaches 50 billion VND, Droppii will donate 4,000 VND per order to Operation Smile. ✨ Milestone 3: Conquer Total revenue reaches 127 billion VND, Droppii will donate 8,000 VND per order to Operation Smile.** As the birthday candle is lit, it not only marks a celebration for Droppii, but also brings hope to thousands of children waiting for a complete smile 💪 💙 💙 💙 Let's join Droppii in mending these smiles, because every smile deserves to be radiant. #Droppii #Oneorderonesmile #operationsmile #birthdaymonth
