Last month, a long-time supporter did something simple. Instead of a birthday wish list, she asked her friends to give to a campaign she cared about.
By the end of the week, the gifts she did not receive had quietly become something else. Enough to keep three children enrolled for a full school year.
Small redirections, large outcomes
This is the idea behind turning a celebration into a cause. Nothing about the day got smaller. The cake, the friends, the warmth, all of it stayed. Only the direction of the gifts changed.
If you have a milestone coming up, consider this. You will not miss the gifts. Somewhere, a child will not miss a year of school.
