Give Smiles This #GivingTuesday With Give Forward

*This post on #GivingTuesday brought to you by my partnership with Give Forward.*

Black Friday has come and gone and today is Cyber Monday.  Neither of these days have meant a whole lot to me but tomorrow does.  Tomorrow is GivingTuesday and I think this is the most important of these three days.  Tomorrow is the day that we are all encouraged and motivated to give to someone.  Tomorrow is the day that we are all encouraged to pay it forward shall we say.

#GivingTuesday With Give Forward

Whether your standing in line at Starbucks and pay for the order behind you, give a little extra to the homeless or take a surprise lunch to one of your girlfriends at work tomorrow is the day that you will be joining with thousands of others in making someone’s day a little bit brighter.

The problem I have is that I don’t actually expect to go any place on Tuesday which makes it tough to pass things on or give to someone selflessly.  I did consider ordering some flowers and surprising a few people who I care about but that just didn’t feel right to me for some reason.  What did feel right is stumbling across this organization in one of my blogging groups called Give Forward.  Not really sure how big of a rock I must have been living under in order to have not heard of Give Forward before but I admit I have crawled out from under that rock and have spent a large amount of time (and tears) recently reading through others plights.  Reading amazing stories from people who have had to or continue to conquer amazing hurdles.  

GivingTuesday Recipients In Need

Tomorrow is the day that I challenge you to give selflessly.  It can be to those you know or if your stumped you can head over to Give Forward and find a worthy cause that aligns with your beliefs or hits a little to closely to home.  Here are a few that stood out to me to get you started but you can find plenty of Give Forward recipients that are all deserving.
