You Helped Us Reach Our Giving Tuesday Goal!

Dear Friend,

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your generosity this Giving Tuesday!

Together, we surpassed our goal and raised $13,690 to empower families and individuals on their journeys from surviving to thriving.

Now that's something to celebrate!

Your support fuels our mission to uplift families, rebuild communities, and transform lives. Whether it’s helping a refugee family find their new home, guiding children in foster care to a brighter future, or offering disaster recovery services to those in need, your contribution makes a profound impact.

Thank you for standing with Inspiritus and the communities we accompany. We couldn’t do this vital work without you!

🌟 Today is Giving Tuesday—Be the Change! 🌟

Dear Friend,

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day to make an impact—and your support can change lives.

At Inspiritus’ THRIVE Studios, children who’ve faced unimaginable challenges are finding hope through the healing power of art. Each brushstroke represents resilience, growth, and a brighter future.

“I think it’s magical because none of them have to come,” shares art therapist Devon Billions-Gomez. “But they choose to, and that choice means everything.”

Take Ka’enye, for example. At just 13 years old, she recently completed her artwork and shared, “I think I’m going to start being kind.” Moments like this remind us of the life-changing impact of your generosity.

And it’s not just the children at THRIVE Studios—your Giving Tuesday gift helps Inspiritus uplift countless neighbors facing life’s hardest challenges. Together, we can help individuals and families move from surviving to thriving.

Thank you for being the change this Giving Tuesday.

Empower Dreams This Giving Tuesday 💙

Dear Friend,

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday—a global day of giving and making an impact. But you don’t have to wait to start changing lives.

At Inspiritus, we believe in turning challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to be part of creating a brighter future for all.

Take Petro Dudnyk, for example. When Petro fled war-torn Ukraine and was welcomed by the U.S. to rebuild his life in Georgia, he carried more than just his faith—he carried a dream. With support from Thrive Community Lending (a program of Inspiritus), Petro opened Lviv Croissants’ first U.S. location in Roswell, GA. This eatery is more than a business—it’s a beacon of resilience, a cultural bridge, and a testament to what’s possible when individuals are supported by a compassionate community.

This is the heart of what Inspiritus does: helping individuals and families on their journey from surviving to thriving.

Why wait? Your early gift helps us build momentum and inspires others to join this movement. Together, we can reach our $5,000 Giving Tuesday goal and empower even more lives.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we can make tomorrow even more impactful.

Be the Difference This Giving Tuesday 💙

Dear Friends,

At Inspiritus, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive. Whether it’s responding to disasters or advocating for equity, our mission is to empower individuals on their journey from surviving to thriving.

Take Gloria, for example. When Hurricane Helene struck, Gloria and her husband were left without lights, water, or security. “Inspiritus was the first to respond, and the crew they sent was amazing,” Gloria shared. “My husband is 82, and they told him to sit down and rest. What a blessing.” Gloria’s story is a powerful example of how swift and compassionate disaster response can restore hope.

Then there’s Peggy Steinway, whose journey highlights the power of empowerment and care. After many years in her adopted mother’s care, it became clear that Peggy needed additional support to continue thriving. That’s when Inspiritus stepped in, connecting her with Elinore and Paul Bryan through our Disability Services Host Home program.

Today, Peggy thrives. For 22 years, she’s been a dedicated employee at Food City in Georgia. She finds joy in attending church, reading, and sharing laughter with friends at her day program. Peggy’s story is about more than finding a home—it’s about belonging, dignity, and the opportunity to live fully.

These are just two examples of how Inspiritus, with the help of dedicated partners and volunteers, empowers individuals to overcome challenges and thrive. But none of it happens without the support of people like you.

Every donation today helps us meet our $5,000 Giving Tuesday goal, providing vital resources to those who need them most. Together, we can restore hope, build belonging, and create opportunities for individuals to thrive.

We’re so grateful to all of our supporters who help make our work possible. Let’s grow our impact together this Giving Tuesday!
