This Giving Tuesday, We’re Looking for Difference Makers.
Because Crisis Doesn’t Wait. Neither Do We.
This Giving Tuesday, join a community of Difference Makers working together to ensure Brunswick County seniors have support when they need it most.
Last year, our community answered the call. Through the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners, BSRI raised more than $22,000 to launch our Crisis Fund—creating a resource dedicated to helping seniors facing urgent and unexpected challenges.
Your support ensures we are ready for the next senior who needs us.
Because of you, help was available when seniors needed it most.
But the need continues.
A sudden home repair. An unexpected health challenge. A loss of support. For many older adults, a small setback can quickly become a crisis.
That’s why we need Difference Makers.
Your generosity helps BSRI respond quickly with critical support that promotes safety, independence, and dignity for seniors throughout Brunswick County.
Because crisis doesn’t wait.
Neither do we.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It is a day when people around the world come together to support organizations and causes that strengthen their communities.
Giving Tuesday 2026 will take place on December 1, 2026, but BSRI’s campaign will begin earlier in the season and continue through the end of the year—providing multiple opportunities for our community to become Difference Makers.
A Story of Impact: Michelle
What happens when the one thing helping you maintain your independence becomes something you can no longer afford?
For Michelle, that question became a reality when she needed a replacement prosthetic leg.
But thanks to the generosity of our community and BSRI’s Crisis Fund, Michelle received help when she needed it most.
We invite you to take a few minutes to watch Michelle’s inspiring story. Hear firsthand about the challenges she faced, her determination to remain independent, and the difference a helping hand made in her life.
And please watch until the end. Michelle shares a heartfelt message of hope that goes far beyond her own journey: “Don’t give up. Keep going.”
Michelle’s story shows what your generosity can make possible. Now, you have an opportunity to help write the next story.
A Story of Impact: Barbara
“This is home. I don’t want to think about moving anywhere else.”
For Barbara, a safe shower means more than convenience. It means independence, peace of mind, and the ability to remain in the home she loves.
When showering safely became a challenge, BSRI’s Crisis Fund helped provide much-needed renovations to make her home safer.
Now, Barbara has a message for anyone considering giving: “Get on the ball, honey. Get on the ball and help ’em!”
Watch Barbara’s story and see what your generosity makes possible.
