I guess now with easy crowdfunding platforms individuals can invest in, give, or support almost anything. I was surprised too by these organizations and how they think collectively. Cheers Simone – Happy Thanksgiving!

Adding that one to the list of future goals. I love this holiday season as well. The magnified kindness and care just make life so much lighter.

Hey Steph! You just summed up how Thanksgiving feels to me each year! I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and helping others makes me realize how freaking blessed I am. The more I give –> the more I get. Cheers!

I’m going to look into the medical debt because, even though I work in health care, I am horrified by what I feel are exhorbitant and price-gouging practices throughout the field. This time of year I do the unexpected; pay for the next person in line’s groceries or, if s/he’s only buying a small amount, pay for two. The reaction is always priceless. My heart overflows with gratitude because not only do I feel like I’ve put some good karma out there, I realize just how freaking blessed I am! I’ve come to see that people are just so amazed by kindness anymore that they often don’t know what to do or say, and it’s yet another blessing to be a teeny part of someone’s smile in that moment. I tell them thanks, and walk away, with an almighty happy dance in my own heart.
Slay the world with kindness people!

I really like the anonymous part of it all. When strangers help strangers, it encourages a pay-it-forward mentality :) Happy Thanksgiving Fiona, have a great week!

Thanks Martinus! Happy Thanksgiving to you too…. (Even if you’re not in the USA, you can still celebrate and be thankful) :)

Awesome! I was most surprised about the Amazon Smile one…. I wish I knew about it earlier – I’ve done a ton of shopping over the years and could have been donating this whole time! It’s free!

Great idea on the nursing homes in particular! Thanks Katie! I’m gonna look into that locally.

This year I’m focusing my giving on those who tend to slip through the cracks, like families who work but barely make enough to get by, and also homebound/isolated senior citizens. Nursing homes and similar are hurting this year because social group activities (e.g. girl scouts, school clubs) aren’t happening.

Really enjoyed this and excited to try a few of these suggestions.
