Your Giver Army Q1 Impact Report

Our Charity sets up unique funds throughout the year to address growing needs among certain communities. These funds may assist individuals dealing with the repercussions of certain disasters or crises, or they may focus on groups of individuals who are finding themselves in difficult times.

Our “Secret Admirer’s” Fund provided funds to single parents with active campaigns during the Valentine’s Day season.

Our “Help A Veteran” Fund is continuing to provide essentials funding to campaigns started by American Veterans.

Our “Texas Wildfire Relief” Fund is helping assist those who lost their homes or belongings during the recent wildfires.

With these funds, we provided financial assistance to 4 campaigns set up by single parents (check out our social media pages for more information), and we are now assessing multiple campaigns for veterans in need and those impacted by the wildfires. Stay updated with our impact by following us on social media or visiting our Impact Report on GiveSendGo.org.

The Lancaster Snow Angels provide free snow removal for the elderly, mobility-impaired, and special needs community members in Lancaster County, PA, who cannot afford it. Their volunteers, who fund gas, equipment, and salt from their pockets, are struggling to keep up with the demand for their services during an active winter. The Giver Army Grant will help them purchase gas cards, salt, metal shovels, and small snow blowers for easier transport. Additionally, the grant will assist in acquiring essential equipment, including snow blowers, trailers, a 4-wheeler with a plow, and an older model truck with a plow, to expand their services and reach more people in need.

Thank you so much for the much needed grant for The Lancaster Snow Angels! We are beyond grateful and this grant will go to providing better equipment and materials to the hands of our volunteers.” – The Lancaster Snow Angels

Your support helped Beth, a single mother, and her son Travis, who has an inoperable brain tumor, keep a roof over their heads during their challenging journey. Despite facing financial hardship and Travis’s health struggles, Beth remains resilient. Your donation, sharing, prayers, or care made a difference in their lives, providing them with much-needed support and relief. Thank you for being a part of helping this family in need.

“This donation means so very much to me and I KNOW it will mean the world to Beth and Travis. I have dreamt of being able to fix their situation and was so sad when I realized people were not donating for their cause. There is nothing worse than having something wrong with your child and to worry about surviving financially and struggling to buy food and keep a roof over your head at the same time should NEVER be an issue. Thank you so much for helping them!! – I pray this money will give her some hope that things will be ok. “

The Giver Army Grant supported Beth and Zachary Reinert in installing electricity and water to their trailer site in Crystal, NV, and purchasing a trailer that doesn’t leak. Your donation ensured they had the funds needed for these crucial improvements. Despite facing significant hardships and losses, including a car accident and multiple totaled vehicles, Beth and Zachary are now in a better living situation thanks to your generosity. Your support has made a tangible difference in their lives, providing them with much-needed stability and hope for the future

“GRATEFUL is an understatement! I am humbled by your generosity. Zach and Beth deserve the world and you have contributed to that! Thank you so incredibly much!!”

“Zach and Beth have been struggling. Constantly being knocked down with unfortunate events that prevent them from getting anywhere close to having electricity and water installed for their trailers.  They feel as if God has abandoned them. They need all the help they can get.  They both give their time and sweat equity to others but never receive help in return. I’m trying to get them a great return for their kindness!  Please help make this fundraising link go viral!”

The Giver Army Grant supported Matthew, an agro-ecologist and permaculture activist, in developing the Mattlawie Ecological Regenerative Center in Ghana.

The center has already made a significant impact, donating over 1000 seedlings to local schools, planting 500 trees, and running a community soccer program for 70 children. With your donation, Matthew aims to expand the center’s reach by purchasing land for an eco-village and acquiring tools, equipment, and soccer gear. Your support helps create a ripple effect of positive change in Ghana and beyond. Thank you for contributing to this sustainable initiative!

Dear Giver Army,

Through your VERY kind donation I will try to do my best to help families in need learn self-defense, spiritual values and general knowledge, as well as have my motivation and example; as a child lost my father to a political terrorist attack. He was a good man, a Harvard graduate who was good to his family and people.

I grew up traumatized by this, as well as abuse by 2 family members and others, since I became very shy and skinny. I hardly weighed 73 pounds when I was sent to a JROTC Baptist Academy in Texas, there I also suffered bullying but was also comforted and guided by staff and officers.

I started drugs at age 13, had already 2 alcohol overdoses by 10. I have had 2 attempts on my life, a woman had an abortion from me without telling me, was in Mexico City street gangs for several years and many more exremely traumatizing situations. I have also lived in 5 countries, speak 4 languages and my experience is unique on both bad and good. An old monk at a Franciscan monastery (where I went several times, to get myself together while recovering from alcoholism – 28 years, 100% sober and drug free) told me that this is a treasure I hold and that God had saved my life, so I could share it.

Thanks to God, Christ, martial arts and to my mentor Hatsumi Masaaki, I have developed a personality and character of resilience and persevere. My main goal is to share this knowledge, experience with children thru their parents (homeschool) so that no other boy or girl goes thru the Hell I’ve lived. Only Faith and Ninpo hold me strong, since I have gone thru some very demanding tests and experiences.

Be assured that every penny you’ve donated to our project will help God and Good over Evil.
