ABOUT GIVING TUESDAY
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. Observed on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) right along with the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

LIVING WITHOUT A REFRIGERATOR
Samuel knew his old refrigerator wouldn’t last much longer, but with a fixed income he didn’t have finances to fix or replace it. As he shifted food from the defective refrigerator cabinet to the partially working freezer, eventually both gave out. Samuel resorted to using coolers for his perishable foods.
