William Galli’s Post

From our Co-Founder, William Galli If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble. - Bob Hope Tis' the season to be jolly, no? I'd be willing to bet, the more charitable you are the jollier you become. Not only during the Christmas holidays but all year round. A charitable heart leads to a charitable mind which leads to a charitable soul. Think about it for a minute. Many times when we are charitable, it's a spur of the moment type of charity, and we give from the heart without even thinking about it. We see someone on the street in need for example, and we give right from the heart because we immediately feel for that person. But when we allow our mind to enter the charitable equation, we are thinking about that individual on the street, and intellectually understand and feel for the day in and day out circumstances that person faces on an ongoing basis, so we choose to give regularly. When charity enters your soul, it becomes part of your very being. It transcends the physical, and becomes a part of who you are, and how you look at the world, and live your life. People become the primary focus in your life, and things become secondary. Choose Charities believes it's going to take a collective nationwide charitable change of heart, mind and soul to end poverty and homelessness in America. If America can find the support, expertise, and billions to explore inner and outer space, research and cure diseases, and fund our military. We can find the support, expertise, and billions to help the 37.9 million Americans out of poverty today, of which 11 million are helpless children, and 1.5 million our nation's heroes, our veterans.. . . it's just going to take a nationwide charitable change of heart, mind, and soul with a bit of a priorities adjustment.

Exciting news in the philanthropy world! Renowned entrepreneur Dick Smith has made a generous commitment to donate his $300 energy rebate announced in the Federal Budget this week to the Salvation Army, urging fellow millionaires to follow suit. Dick Smith's message is clear and inspiring: "Not all of us need that money. There are millions of Australians that are doing OK. Donate the money to an important charity and that means the money won't be wasted." In a time where every little bit helps, this gesture of kindness demonstrates a powerful way to make a significant impact. This act of generosity can serve as a reminder of the impact we can have when we redirect resources to where they are most needed. So many Australian families, including kinship and foster care households face significant financial challenges daily. For carers, additional financial support really does go a long way, grants for the purchase of items for the children and young people in their care can mean the world, especially when the cost of living is so high. Through our fundraising at OzChild we can help with the costs of tutoring, counselling, car seats, and even prescription glasses for kids – practical items that make caring a little bit easier. But we can’t do that alone. No not-for-profit organisation can, we rely on the generosity of others to make it possible for us to help lighten the load for families. Let’s join forces to make a difference! I encourage everyone who can, to consider this impactful choice. Whether it’s a donation to the Salvation Army, OzChild or another charity close to your heart, let’s turn our rebates into a collective effort for good. #Philanthropy #SocialImpact #GivingBack #CommunitySupport

When we started Gus, Graham and I found ourselves talking a lot about “impact”. And not just in the “let’s pepper some buzzwords into a deck” sort of way, but in a “how can we orient everything we do around creating meaningful and lasting impact not just for our partners but for the world at large” sort of way. In an industry where it’s so easy to sell the disposable, nothing felt more important. Which is why I couldn’t be more excited about the launch of our new initiative with Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day charity, the Childhood Dreamstakes, where every donation to end Childhood Poverty also enters you for a chance to win a real-life Childhood Dream experience. Our mission with Childhood Dreamstakes was simple - raise donations for an incredibly worthy cause in a way that focuses on the positive outcomes we can create together rather than the  negativity of the problem we set out to solve. Because positivity always wins. Always. When we really dug into it, that positive outcome came down to one simple word; childhood. Helping to end childhood poverty literally means giving kids more of their childhood back, removing stressors that allow them to live their most joyous, carefree lives. And what better way of raising awareness for it than by reminding grown-ups of how special, and worthy of protecting, that unique sense of childhood joy truly is. A big thank you is owed to our incredible partners, especially ED. who helped us bring our dreams to life, and of course to the Comic Relief US team, who held hands with us and ran at this idea with everything they had. Now, let’s rack those donations up, folks! Head to https://lnkd.in/dkyQqQAu to donate today. If you ever wanted to frolic in your very-own cotton candy castle, there’s never been a better time. #creativity #innovation #dogood #4change

International Day of Happiness: let's give it to children! Today, 20 March, we celebrate the International Day of Happiness. This day is a great occasion to think about what makes us happy and share this happiness with others.   The Future for Children Charitable Foundation takes care of internally displaced children. We provide them with psychological and social support and help them adapt to a new life. For us, happiness is seeing smiles on the faces of children who have survived the horrific events of war and were forced to leave their homes.  But unfortunately, war is not only about losing your home and being separated from your loved ones. It also has a negative impact on health due to the experienced stress. That is why we urge you to join our International Day of Happiness campaign! Make a donation for vitamins for internally displaced children, and you will give them not only health! Together we can give happiness to those who really need it! How to help: - Go to our website (https://lnkd.in/eWJT9dat) - Choose the amount you want to donate - Confirm your donation Thank you for your support and belief in a better future for all children!

Today I want to share a post about a local couple to me in Essex. This is a young couple with a 6 month old baby who was born prematurely and now has life threatening issues. These can be held back and potentially treated with Stemcell treatment at a staggering cost. How can life be so cruel to inflict such suffering on a new to world pure and innocent baby? With that in mind, this presents the rest of us with an opportunity to come together and show willing. To demonstrate the strength of humanity. To unit and work together to provide this innocent baby girl a chance, a fair opportunity to tackle life herself. The video below is a short story into the battles that face this family ahead. As a business owner, and someone who has a relatively comfortable life, I feel compelled and morally obligated to help where I can with something so tragic. My company will make a number of donations throughout the year, a % of our profits. If YOU are a business owner, legitimate charitable donations are tax deductible! Why not take the time to direct your money to where you want it to go? If you are a parent; well try to imagine the unimaginable. The way which life would be twist and turned upside down and all priorities would change in an instant. If you wish to support this family.

Support a Family Rebuild Their Lives After Amputation Dear Friends and Supporters, We are reaching out to you today with a heartfelt appeal for help. A dear friend of ours, once filled with joy from a growing family and a fulfilling career, has recently experienced a life-altering event.

This devastating blow has taken away his physical mobility, his ability to provide for his family, and a significant part of his hope for the future. Despite this, his spirit remains unbroken. However, the financial and emotional toll on his family has been overwhelming. We are rallying together to help them rebuild their lives, restore their dignity, and find a way forward. How You Can Help Your donation, no matter the size, can make a tremendous difference. Funds raised will go towards medical bills, rehabilitation, and providing for his family's basic needs as they navigate this challenging time. https://lnkd.in/g-nMaxXj Why It Matters: This campaign is not just about money; it's about giving a family the chance to regain stability and hope. It's about showing that, as a community, we stand together and support each other through the toughest times. **Join Us:** Please donate, share this campaign with your network, and encourage others to do the same.

A letter from our president Tamika Lecheé Morales. Be the change you want to see in the world 🌎. In the midst of Giving Tuesday, I'm reaching out with a heartfelt ask. 🙏 While the world is buzzing with donation requests, I want to emphasize that support goes beyond dollars. I know you have been bombarded with emails, snail mail, social media posts asking you to consider donating to a world of compelling causes. I want you to know that monetarily is NOT the only way you can show love and support for your favorite charities on Giving Tuesday. If you are compelled to donate and can help make a difference we ask that you consider donating to The Autism Hero Project (AHP). If you're new to our page and not quite sure what we do than I'm pleased to share that we provide medical insurance grants for kids on the autism spectrum to access therapies that unlock a child's full potential. We also provide education scholarships for autistic adults to gain enjoyment and we create inclusive events where you can come as you are! The reason I created AHP was to support children and families struggling financially, struggling for access, struggling to be seen, struggling to literally find their voice and ultimately struggling to be included and belong. I personally may not have needed a medical insurance grant which is what made AHP famous for our autism community because countless families did need access but we sure did need everything else and still do. So this Giving Tuesday we hope that you can join us. Together, let's make a meaningful impact. We know the power in little by little a little becomes a lot.

Hey friends of LMK! It’s day two of our matched giving fundraiser and we’re absolutely blown away by your support - thank you SO much to everyone who has donated to us so far. If you haven’t heard already: For ONE week only, every single penny and pound that you donate to us will be DOUBLED, at no extra cost to you! That’s right - if you give £5, it’ll be doubled to £10, and if you give £20, it’ll be double to £40! And if you give £30…well, you get the gist! There’s never been a more important time to support our work. Right now in the UK, relationship abuse has a devastating effect on the lives of around 2.4million people each year—and the problem starts young. 25% of teenage girls and 20% of teenage boys experience physical partner violence - and only 20% of 16-17 year olds can tell if a relationship is abusive. This needs to change. We know that the trauma associated with abuse are linked to disadvantages like educational disengagement, poor mental health, substance abuse, homelessness and future violence. Young people need to know the signs of a healthy and unhealthy relationship so that they have the tools and confidence they need to speak out, seek help and keep themselves and their friends safe.
