About the Site
GivesMeHope.com was founded in May 2009 in response to the popular site, FMyLife.com (FML). On FML, people share stories explaining how their day was completely ruined. Here's one example from FML:
'Today, it was my friend's birthday. She's been having problems with most of her friends besides me lately, so I wanted to do something special. I brought her a cake. Me and her were the only ones to have any. It gave us both food poisoning. FML'
We love FML, but FML can be a downer. And we're completely exhausted by the negativity of the mainstream media.
We're tired of hearing about what's wrong in this world. That's why we created GivesMeHope.com.
GMH is where people share with the world their most hopeful, uplifting moments and allow others to draw strength from their experiences.
It's like Chicken Soup for the Soul - the 21st Century, Twitter-style version.
Because with all of the hurt and suffering in the world, who couldn't use a few more reasons to hope each day?
