True generosity isn't seasonal - it's about showing up consistently, opening our hearts, and extending kindness year-round. Sometimes it's a donation, but more often, it's about being present, listening, and believing in someone's potential. This truth hit home during our final town hall of the year, where Danielle Gletow of One Simple Wish, a passionate children’s rights advocate for nearly 20 years, came and shared powerful stories of young adults aging out of foster care and how she started her organization to help these young people. Since its inception, One Simple Wish has impacted the lives of over 300,000 vulnerable individuals in the US, each year granting over 30,000 wishes; and will grant 15,000 wishes this season alone - stories that remind us of what generosity really means. What moved me most wasn't just the statistics, but the individual journeys that were shared. Each story represented someone who needed just one person to believe in them, to show up, to care. One act of genuine support can transform a life. I watched with pride as our Melinta team responded with extraordinary compassion. Their contributions weren't just financial - they were messages of hope, telling these young adults: "We see you. We believe in you. Your future matters." One Simple Wish does truly transformative work. If you're seeking to make a meaningful impact this season and beyond, their mission might resonate with you as it did with us. Please consider donating here: https://lnkd.in/eSAD3RZJ My heart swells knowing I work alongside people who understand that generosity is about more than transactions - it's about human connection and the courage to care deeply about making a difference. Such a perfect way to close the year. Here’s wishing the entire team at Melinta, my network, friends and my family a Happy Holidays!
