The Power of a Dollar

by //

Beth Cupitt started Give1 Save1 as a platform to help fundraise for families adopting from Africa.

It’s really pretty simple – and that is the beauty of the idea.

Every Monday a different adoptive family is featured on Give1Save1.com and readers are asked to give $1 – just $1 and then spread the word virally.

Since August the site has helped 16 families and at least 1 charity, raising nearly $22,000.

The power of a dollar is pretty amazing!

If you’re interested in becoming a featured family, here’s the info to contact Beth.

Retail shops, UPS, Amazon warehouses – they all need extra workers right now.

Obviously not everyone has time to pick up an extra job but if you can manage a busier schedule for a couple of months you may be able to save $1,000 or more for your adoption fund.
