Our Success Stories
"This made an invaluable difference our my life. The donations and van repair changed our life. We don't have the words to express the gratitude we have, other than to say it's been life-changing. Due to my disability and the van being broken, we were not able to go out as a family and it's so amazing to be all together again."
– Sandra & Emmanuel, 2023
"I left an abusive relationship for the sake of my children, but I felt like I had jumped out of an airplane without a parachute. It felt like I was falling, but the support I got (from Gifting & Lifting) came into my life and saved me from a bad fall and helped me start over. It's so important to me that my children get to see their mother succeeding after all we have been through."
