The Courage to Give: Inspiring Stories of People Who Triumphed Over Tragedy to Make a Difference in the World

Powerful true stories of people who have suffered great emotional or physical hardship—and went beyond their pain to help others.

A single mom, on disability after a serious workplace accident, finds a boy rooting around in a dumpster for food—and winds up starting a community group providing services for poor children. A couple devastated by the loss of their son finds a new sense of purpose as a result of organ donation. This volume is filled with stories like these—told by people who, in the midst of their own difficult circumstances, discovered that helping others became a route to healing their own pain.

Collected by Jackie Waldman, who recounts her own tale of renewal after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, this inspiring book “reminds us that our true purpose is to serve each other, regardless” (Wally “Famous” Amos, author of The Power in You).
