Hi everyone - just finished the 29 gifts audiobook while on a bit of search for some self development and was immediately inspired by the 29 gifts giving concept. Although I have a great income from a career I have worked very hard to achieve, I struggle to give to others which after much reflection is the result of having been raised by a single mother that struggled to provide. I starting working at age 13 to pay for those things that my mother was unable to provide. I am looking forward to starting this challenge whole heartedly!

Day 1 - after hearing Cami talk about giving to Kiva I decided to check that out. I came across a single mother of 6 and rice farmer in the Philippines trying to purchase a sanitary toilet for her family in the amount of $200. She needed $50 to achieve her goal, which I contributed.

A toilet which I take for granted on a daily basis and can’t imagine not having and helping a single mom made me feel compelled and happy to have helped fulfill this desire for her family. I feel grateful to live in a house where we have running water and multiple bathroom. I hope this brings this family lots of happiness.
