Who Gives
Ordinary people are showing extraordinary generosity by leaving legacy gifts to charity in their wills and estate plans. There are countless numbers of stories showing that kindness is evident in people from all walks of life – with different income levels, professions, and passions.
Each story represents the very best humanity has to offer. Because of their indelible love of life and concern for others, their memories will never be extinguished, and their gifts will remind us all that we, too, can make a difference in the lives that follow.
