Giving Thanks

Yesterday, we discussed one of our favorite Tweeters, a Massachusetts-based organization called Small Can Be Big, and today we would like to highlight another, who we first encountered with our bestselling book, The Power of Nice. In this, our last day of our week-long celebration of National Donate Life month, we couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up than by talking about a man who spends his life honoring the people who would gladly give their lives to protect all of us, the men and women of the U.S. military.

A Cut Above the Rest

As we continue our celebration of National Donate Life month this week, we wanted to talk about other ways in which people across the nation are helping to make a difference in the lives of others. For Sandie Anderson, “doing good” meant donating her kidney to a virtual stranger, but during these trying times, so many others are making a huge impact with small gestures.

Donate Your Life with the Power of Small

Last week on the SMALL Blog, we celebrated the first week of Financial Literacy Month by talking about how you can use THE POWER OF SMALL to help you save money. But, did you know that April is also National Donate Life month? Established in 2003, National Donate Life Month raises awareness about the importance of becoming an organ donor. According to OrganDonor.gov, 70 Americans are given a second chance every day by receiving life-saving organ transplants, but even as they are rescued, nearly 20 people die each day because help simply wasn’t there. Luckily we can all make a difference with one simple act: registering as an organ donor.
