Pay it forward. A saying we may hear often, yet how many times do we actually act upon it..even if it has to start with us? Sometimes a simple word of encouragement to others letting them know that somebody does care can be all they needed to keep life going. Caitlin Crosby, a young Hollywood actress, had the same ideals and decided to put it into action and encourage others to 'pay it forward' as well.
It was simple yet impacting. Crosby would have keys engraved with encouraging words to wear around the neck as a constant motivation to never give up. You can personalize it with a word that inspires you or give a key to a friend or a complete stranger, whoever needs support. The idea is that at some point in time you are to 'pay it forward' and give your key to someone else who needs that word of encouragement.

Soon there after Caitlin had a fateful encounter with a homeless couple on the streets of LA. Falling in love with their story and hearts, she knew she had found the missing link and The Giving Keys was born. Now with business partners on board they could finally bring the dream to life. Cera and Rob both hand engrave the keys, take care of shipping and make sure all orders are filled. This blessing has given them the opportunity to earn enough money to get off the streets and back in school. The Giving Keys now not only support them, but also gives back to many shelters and transitional homes all over the Los Angeles area.
Be sure to get on The Giving Keys website to read the many testimonies of those that have passed their encouraging keys on and how it has changed their lives.
