Whatever your budget surplus, that’s your margin for giving. Start small; find some amount you can give without even thinking about it, rather than one that might prove emotionally difficult, and add it as an off-the-top expense, right alongside your electric bill and your Netflix subscription. Setting that up as a recurring donation removes the barrier of actually making the donation.
My name is Tracy Garley, I was born in the West African country of Liberia, and moved to the US at the age of eleven. I attended Western International High School in Detroit and graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Food Industry Management. I'm the owner of West African lifestyle brand Zarkpa's, founder of West African catering company Culture in a Bowl, founder of City Girl Big Dreams, and CEO of its sister brand, GoFundHer.com. In each of these roles, I try to create opportunities for girls and women to transform their dreams into reality through collaboration and social networking.
