Phoenix Woman Gives Hope & $100 to People in Need During Crisis

Phoenix Area Waitress-Turned-Millionaire Gives Hope and $100 Bills to People in Need During Crisis & Beyond

Believe Project

Phoenix-Wouldn’t you love to see someone who is struggling—say, the neighbor who lost their job or the hourly server who relied on tips—receive a crisp, new $100 bill?

Believe it or not, there’s a charity for that. The Believe Project (believeproject.net) bestows $100 bills—along with inspirational messages—on nominated recipients every day of the year. The goal is to bring hope and a bit of help to good people experiencing hard times, while inspiring others to care and give. During the current crisis, $100 would go a long way for a person without an income.

The nonprofit is the brainchild of Carolyn Gable, a once struggling single mom and waitress who went on to build a multimillion-dollar business.

Recently, she took the Believe Project national and expanded it to a year-round basis. To date, it has touched nearly 1,000 recipients.

How does it work? Simple. To nominate someone—or in Gable’s terms, become a Steward of Love—visit believeproject.net and complete a form, telling their story in 100 words or less. If the person that you nominated is chosen, you’ll be mailed a small “Believe” envelope—stuffed with $100 and inspirational message cards—to present to that deserving person.

The program creates a circle of giving and gratitude that far out values $100, encompassing those who nominate others…thankful recipients…and donors who contribute to the fund.

“Caring has a ripple effect,” says Gable. “It’s contagious. Once you feel it, you want to keep giving kindness and inspiration.”
