Now, seeing the community to approach 10,000 lifetime pledgers fills me with joy. Each person here has their own story, their own moment of decision. Happy 15th birthday Giving What We Can! 🎉

In a world that often feels overwhelming and sometimes absurd, the 10% pledge gives me something concrete and meaningful to hold onto. It's become core to who I am—a constant reminder that we can each make a real, measurable difference.✨

When I finally took the pledge in 2021, it felt like aligning my actions with my values. Since then, I've donated $30K+ to effective charities, but the impact on my own life has been just as significant...

For years, I wrestled with: If I wasn't causing this suffering, why was I obligated to help? But that logic felt hollow when faced with the reality that I could save lives with money I'd barely miss. Sometimes the simplest truths take longest to act on.💭
