Make a difference.

Don't get me wrong being able to donate substantial amounts of money to nonprofits is very helpful, but it's not the ONLY way one can help!
 

A lot of nonprofits wouldn't be able to survive without their volunteers, the people who roll up their sleeves, and get down and dirty doing whatever needs to be done. I've been personally thanked by Special Olympics athletes and coaches for volunteering my time, they know how valuable the volunteers are to the organization. Of course the staff is very grateful for the volunteers as well, but I'm not there for the staff, I'm there for the athletes so they can continue breaking down barriers, making friends and having fun. They've all heard oh you can't do that, and Special Olympics helps them discover that they CAN!
 

Outside of organizations you can make a difference too:
Smile at people, you never know how much it could turn someone's day around.
See someone struggling? Help them, don't assume someone else will.
Say thank you!
Sit and listen to someone who needs an ear.
Don't judge those who act or look different from you.
 

The greatest of all is to show compassion and love to our neighbors, whoever they are, wherever they are. Best thing about love and compassion... It's FREE!
I challenge you all to make a difference today!  #BeGrateful #BeKind #Compassion #Love #HelpOthers
