I was fighting a few years of alcohol abuse trying to find my life when my sweet friend Sara gifted me my key saying Courage. She said she chose courage because I was courageously becoming who I was meant to be. I wore my key from the day I received it, never taking it off until the day I knew I should pass it on.
A dear friend of mine found out her dad is battling liver severe cancer. I knew I should pass it on to her but struggled to. I loved my key and it meant so incredibly much to me. I know it means just as much to her now. I have now ordered another one for my dear friend Sara who started this beautiful cycle that says Sunshine. I chose Sunshine because that is what she has been to me in some dark and scary days. Now her light is shinning past me on on to others.”
I work with the most amazing people and a very special woman I work with is the most generous, selfless and giving person I know gave me the key of LOVE. I am getting married next week and she has been wearing this key all week. I couldn't stop asking where she got it and what it meant and when she told me about The Giving Keys, I fell in love (literally). She travels from NY 3 weeks out of the month and right before she headed to the airport she gave me her LOVE key. It made me cry simply because she just always gives. Whether it be her time or the most thoughtful gifts. I will cherish this and know that I will pay it forward to someone special to keep this tradition alive.”
My name is Sammie and this is my story.
I'm 15 and originally got my key to help look forward to something I had a lot of worries and a lot of anxiety and wanted to get rid of them that's why I chose the phrase "let go". Recently my cousin died. She struggled with alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and was unstable all together. She was 23 when she passed. My family and I got back from her funeral a few weeks ago. I decided to give her my key, so I placed it in her casket with her. Hopefully she will be able to let go of her demons and be at peace.”
My name's David and I bought a key last year. The word I got on it was Dream as I had some big dreams to fulfill and in the last year a lot of them have come true. I'm currently doing what I love to do and never looking back. Recently, some missionary friends came back home to visit for a while and shared their dream with us to build a church where they're currently located. Hearing this, I couldn't help but give them my key. Now that I had lived up to my word, it's time for them to live it as well. Here's to hoping for the best for them and hoping the key gives them the motivation they need to keep going.”
