For this list, we'll be looking at a variety of inspiring true stories in which everyday individuals and families found themselves in need of financial assistance to get through an unexpected hardship. At ModestNeeds.org, a crowdfunding model enables donors to directly act as agents of positive change, regardless of how much or little they can spare. And as each of these unique cases prove, such small acts of charity, kindness and compassion have the power to fundamentally alter the lives of others for the better.
