I am grateful for the many blessings I enjoy, and I have always made it a point to try and give back—to show my appreciation for those blessings. To give of yourself, and make a difference in the lives of others, brings great joy and satisfaction. I often encourage people to step out of their comfort zone and volunteer or donate to valuable causes. Giving of yourself not only changes others’ lives, but it also changes yours for the better.

The world is full of both wonder and challenges. I’ve had the opportunity to see that for myself, first hand. The organizations I’ve been privileged to work with have opened my eyes to the struggles that many folks face on a daily basis. I’m humbled to be a small part in bringing their stories to the world through photographs and video production. I believe that this work has touched hearts and changed lives. So many wonderful organizations strive to fulfill missions that make an incredible difference in our world—one person at a time.

Please, read through the stories of these nonprofit organizations and consider adding them to your charitable giving.
