In a time when voices are often silenced, GiveSendGo is excited to announce our partnership with AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens), the leading organization dedicated to defending the values and freedoms of America’s seniors.

As the fastest-growing conservative alternative to AARP, AMAC represents over 2 million members, standing as a powerful voice for seniors by advocating for smaller government, lower taxes, and individual rights.

At GiveSendGo, we recognize that the fight for freedom requires bold allies. That’s why we’re honored to welcome AMAC to our list of trusted business partners. Their unwavering dedication to preserving freedom, faith, and family aligns with the values we uphold on our platform—where individuals can fundraise for the causes that matter most to them, without fear of censorship, and regardless of their beliefs.

“At AMAC, we know what it means to face overwhelming odds, just as GiveSendGo does in standing up for conservative values. Like David against Goliath, we aren’t afraid to challenge the powerful forces that threaten our freedoms,”  said Rebecca Weber, AMAC CEO. “Together, we’re proving that even the smallest voice, when guided by truth and conviction, can make a resounding difference.”

This partnership brings together two organizations with a shared vision for freedom and hope, so we’re thrilled to spread the word about the incredible benefits AMAC offers its members, including:
 

• Exclusive Discounts: Enjoy savings on travel, insurance, and everyday products and services.
• Advocacy: AMAC actively lobbies for seniors' rights and benefits at both state and national levels.
• Member Services: Access personalized assistance with Medicare, Social Security, and other senior-related issues.
• Informative Resources: Stay informed with AMAC’s publications and newsletters, keeping you updated on issues that matter to you.

“We’re proud to partner with AMAC,” said Jacob Wells, Co-Founder of GiveSendGo. “They, like GiveSendGo, are innovating and redeeming the spaces we’re called to, offering not just alternatives, but replacements to the platforms that seek to silence and undermine the values and freedoms this nation was built on. It’s incredible to see our organizations unite to share hope and champion freedom for people, especially in their greatest times of need.”

Last month, we hosted an exciting June Giveback Giveaway, and we were thrilled with the response! We asked you to share videos on Facebook, X, Instagram, Gab, and Gettr about why you love GiveSendGo, and you certainly delivered!

After reviewing countless amazing submissions, we selected our winners last week. Each winner received a $200 Visa gift card delivered straight to their email and a $1,000 donation to give to a GiveSendGo campaign of their choice.

Let’s dive into the winners and discover which campaigns they chose to receive this generous donation!

Our Facebook Winner is Cynthia Kersh!

She chose her campaign “Cynthia’s Health Journey” to receive our $1,000 donation! 

Cynthia, suffering from severe food allergies, developed Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) after repeated allergen exposure while caring for her in-laws. These conditions severely impact her life, causing debilitating symptoms and frequent medical emergencies. 

Cynthia requires specialized treatments, a port for emergency medications, and home health care. Due to her health, she has lost multiple jobs and faces significant financial strains.

Our Instagram Winner is Morgan Nicholson!

She chose a campaign supporting the Bakker family called “Help Tristan Beat Leukemia” to receive our $1,000 donation! 

The Bakker family had planned a joyous European vacation, but their plans were abruptly changed when their 4-year-old son, Tristan, fell ill and was diagnosed with leukemia. Instead of enjoying their holiday, they found themselves facing hospitals and intensive medical treatments. The best available treatment for Tristan is in the Netherlands, prompting the family to relocate there for the next two years to give him the best chance of survival. 

Tristan's treatment involves numerous chemotherapy sessions, hospital stays, and significant medical expenses. The Bakker family now lives in a small apartment near the hospital, focusing on Tristan's care while facing the financial strain of their new reality. They are reaching out for support from their community, friends, and compassionate strangers to help cover living expenses, medical costs, and the specialized care Tristan needs.

Our Gab Winner is Jean Cline!

She chose “Medical Bill Assistance: The Mason Family” to receive our $1,000 donation! 

In 2018, Mary was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and Chronic Kidney Disease. The Mason family has been struggling with accumulating medical bills and now faces additional expenses for pain management, medical equipment, and home accessibility. The financial burden has forced them to choose between medical needs and daily essentials like groceries, medications, and house payments. 

This campaign aims to pay off the outstanding medical bills and help Matt provide necessary care for Mary at home with the assistance of their two daughters. Donations will allow Mary to spend her remaining time surrounded by loved ones, with Matt able to stay by her side and maintain their home.

How can you prepare for and participate in GiveSendGo’s Day of Prayer?

Mark your calendar: Set a reminder for September 2nd, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM EST. You can call anytime during these set times. 

Call the Prayer Hotline: Call 302-200-6580 on Saturday, Sept. 2 between 1-4 PM EST and connect with a prayer partner. Whether you have a specific request or simply want to share a praise, our prayer partners are here to listen and support you.

Pray Too!: Others will also call to be prayed for by GiveSendGo’s Prayer Partners. Take a moment to pray for these individuals who are also seeking prayer. 

What are some things you can ask for prayer for? 

Anything, really! But here are some examples: 

Your GiveSendGo Campaign: Are you raising funds on GiveSendGo for a cause or person you deeply care about? Thank you for choosing GiveSendGo! We'd be honored to pray for the purpose behind your fundraising – whether it's for a new project, medical expenses, a mission trip, or an urgent situation.

Relationships: In our lives, there's often someone, be it a family member, friend, or significant other, who could use some prayer. They might be facing challenges, considering new opportunities, or dealing with health issues. You could be seeking to build new connections or mend broken relationships. Let us pray for that person in your life who needs prayer. 

Guidance and Decisions: If you're facing important choices or seeking clarity in a situation, let us pray for you. We hope to lift you up and ask God for wisdom, vision, and guidance for you. 

Health and Healing: At GiveSendGo, we understand that health-related worries are often why people seek funds. Such concerns can create stress for both the person facing them and those who care about them. Whether it's for yourself or someone you know, we're here to pray and ask God for physical or emotional well-being.

Peace and Strength: During tough times, God promises comfort and rest in Him. We'd like to offer prayers for Christ's peace and strength to embrace you in your struggles.

Work and Finances: Job-related difficulties or financial worries can be challenging. Do you need prayer for hope and support during these uncertain moments? We’d love to offer up those prayers to Christ during this time in your life. 

Spiritual Growth: Like Paul's prayers for wisdom and understanding, we believe in the importance of prayer for spiritual growth. It's not only about knowing how to live in obedience but also deepening your love for God. Let us pray for your journey.

World Issues: Global concerns often weigh on our hearts – from politics to natural disasters and conflicts. When you call a prayer partner, ask for prayer concerning a global issue, something in your state, or even your local community.

Your Church: If you're part of a church family, we're here to pray for it. Whether it's an upcoming event, a conflict, mission trips, evangelism, discipleship opportunities, or support for individuals within the church – we're here for you.

Gratitude and Praise: Beyond praying for you, we're eager to hear and celebrate your praises. Have you experienced God's peace during challenges, provision in times of need, healing for a loved one, or a deepened walk with Him? We're excited to join you in praising God and hearing about His work in your life!

"Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:12-13 (ESV)
