On
#GivingTuesday, the citizens of our great Nation, and people around the
globe, take part in the charitable spirit of the holiday season. We
commit our time, money, and resources to acts
of giving and kindness, as we help those less fortunate and those most
in need.
Earlier
this year, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria devastated communities
across the southern United States and in the Caribbean, and vast
wildfires ravaged California. We saw millions
of our fellow Americans lose everything, from homes to businesses, and
far too many people also suffered the unbearable loss of loved ones. I
have seen first-hand the heartbreaking pain it has caused.
Americans,
however, are a resilient people, particularly when they support each
other through acts of charity, kindness, and generosity. That spirit
has been on full display as we have
worked together to rebuild America. As the process of recovery and the
need for assistance continues, I encourage all Americans to unite in
selflessness, compassion, and giving. When we are united, Americans can
overcome even the greatest challenges.
This
#GivingTuesday, I thank those who have contributed to charitable
organizations, including our houses of worship, and ask that we continue
to come together to give and help others in
need, especially to communities devastated by the recent natural
disasters. Together, we can ensure that the blessings of this holiday
season are shared around the world.
