Jaime Thurston, below, is the founder of 52 lives.
52 Lives aims to change someone's life every week of the year. It is based on the simple premise that people are good. And lots of good people working together can achieve amazing things.
People from all over the world can nominate someone in need of a bit of help. Every week, 52 lives choose someone to help, share their story, request what they need and - who knows - maybe change a life....or at the very least make someone's day.
They have thousands of supporters who are changing lives every single week.
From the website:
52 Lives aims to change someone's life every week of the year. It is based on the simple premise that people are good. And lots of good people working together have the power to change lives.
Every week, 52 Lives posts a story about someone in need of help on our website and social media, and thanks to thousands of kind supporters, we find that help and change a life.
Since launching in November 2013, 52 Lives has grown into a global network of kind people. It is co-ordinated by one person, but only works with the support of the amazing people who visit our website, share our requests for help, and offer support to people they don't even know, and will probably never meet.
52 Lives gives people tangible help, but our philosophy goes much deeper than that. The most important thing we do is spread kindness. Unexpected kindness is a powerful thing and can change someone's whole outlook on life.
