This month our Kindness Community distributed over $7,800 to support 11 women across the United States.

Meet Megan: a hardworking, hopeful teacher who pours her heart into her students every day—while carrying the same quiet financial struggles so many educators face.

Teachers give so much of themselves—pouring time, energy, and even their own resources into helping students thrive, often while carrying heavy financial burdens of their own.

Megan is one of those teachers. A passionate special education teacher in Michigan, she loves her work deeply, pushing through long days and extra costs because making a difference in her students’ lives makes it all feel worth it. Still, the weight of student loans and tuition debt has been overwhelming.

With support from this community, Megan now has breathing room—and a reminder that teachers deserve to feel seen, supported, and uplifted for the incredible work they do every single day.

Opportunities like this can make the world better. Can make teachers be more successful and take the burdens off of our backs. And when I am able, I would like to pay it forward.

About the women we are helping

They are women you might pass in the hallway at work, sit next to on the bus, or share a smile with in the grocery line. Some are teachers shaping the next generation, some are caregivers or community leaders, and others are fighting through personal health challenges. Different paths, same reality: financial stress has weighed heavily on their shoulders.

Their stories

Carey

A single mom of three who has carried the weight of financial strain since her husband left. Determined to create a better future, she pushed through years of hardship, even living in her car to finish esthetician school, and proudly graduated. Yet ongoing housing challenges and past burdens have made it feel impossible to get ahead.

Now, with the support of this community, Carey finally has a chance to move forward

Mary

She has endured unimaginable loss—losing her husband, four brothers, and best friend within just a few years, all while battling her own breast cancer diagnosis. Now, only able to work part-time, she's facing unimaginable financial strain.

Thanks to this community, Mary has finally received some good news.

Addison

A brave 24-year-old diagnosed with cancer at 17, she has spent seven years battling pain, fear, and loss of independence while relying on her father as her sole caregiver. When he lost his UX design job last November, their stability unraveled, putting their health insurance and home at risk.

Thanks to this community, some of that weight has been lifted.
