- I loan because:
- The words of St. Basil the Great resonate deeply with me: 'The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry man; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the man who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the man who has none; the money which you hoard in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help but fail to help.' From a young age, my father instilled in me the importance of extending a helping hand to those less fortunate, particularly women and the destitute who lack the privileges I've been fortunate to have. These values continue to guide my actions, and it's a journey I believe we can all embark on together. Kiva.org is a platform that allows us to do just that. When you lend on Kiva, you're not just providing a loan; you're sharing an opportunity. Your support can help someone start or expand a business, gain access to education, or improve their living conditions. It's a chance to make a tangible difference in someone's life, empowering them to build a brighter future. Join me in this mission to uplift and empower individuals around the world. By co-funding loans on Kiva, we can together make the world a better place, one small act of kindness at a time. Let's turn St. Basil's wisdom into action and help those in need. Together, we can create a ripple of positive change that will impact countless lives.
