Read about two moms from Portland, Maine who knew they wanted to help others during the pandemic and launched a campaign to help people donate their stimulus checks to charitable causes.
The devastation of the ongoing pandemic is sadly very far reaching. While no one knows, yet, how the world will bounce back, many people are admirably looking for ways they can help, including two moms from Portland, Maine. Together, they launched a national campaign that has, so far, raised, close to $90,000 for nonprofit organizations, local businesses and other tradespeople.
Rev. Tamara Torres McGovern also told the outlet, “As a leader in a church community, what we do is mobilize people to become helpers. There was this intersection between recognizing the need and what could be done. It was a golden opportunity for those of us who had not lost income to do something.”
Along with helping others, the initiative has had another positive impact for both moms—it’s taught their kids how to navigate a scary time while still trying to help others. “As a mother of a 3-year-old watching her absorb the message of why we are staying away from people, it looks like we are afraid of other people,” Torres McGovern said. “[Now] what we…are witnessing is hope and how we take care of one another.
