Noticing Needs
"For a ten and an eight year old to be walking around and say, ‘Oh, it looks like they might need this,’ that’s a beautiful thing to witness."
Trey and April Cushman have a clear vision for their family: to be people who see real needs and respond with abundant generosity. They have practiced these skills with their children from an early age.
Generosity became real to the Cushman children when they started giving to a new cause as a family: clean water access.
After attending a fundraising event for neverthirst, a clean water nonprofit, they received an email with images from the new well their donation helped build. The photos showed families drinking fresh water from their own community for the first time.
The Cushman girls immediately identified with the other children in the photos. April told us, “They were just running to their rooms to get their pennies and dollars and saying, ‘People just don’t have water? What can we give to them?’”
Finding a cause they all love united the Cushmans around giving together. Their children really understood the purpose behind their generosity. Free access to clean water is a concrete, attainable goal that their children can grasp.
“To be able to help solve that is incredible,” Trey says. “And there’s nothing more important to us than opening that conversation with our girls and our son.”
Family is the training ground for a life of generosity. By finding a cause that sparks empathy and enthusiasm in their young children, the Cushman family found a new way to build habits of generosity together.
