Cindy Witteman is a multi-award-winning author, speaker, and founder dedicated to empowering others through storytelling, action, and impact. She inspires change as the creator of Little Give TV Show, FORCE Magazine, and the Nonprofit Driving Single Parents Inc.
Every great movement begins with a spark. For me, that spark was born out of hardship and the determination to turn struggle into something meaningful for others. My life’s work has evolved into three powerful platforms, each carrying the mission of creating opportunities, spreading good news, and helping families and individuals rise above circumstances. These platforms are Driving Single Parents, Little Give, and FORCE Magazine. Together, they form a network of empowerment that reaches across communities, media, and hearts.
Driving Single Parents
In 2017, I founded Driving Single Parents, a nonprofit created from a deeply personal place. As a single parent myself, I understood the barriers that transportation created. Without a reliable vehicle, a single parent can lose out on opportunities for education, employment, and even quality family time. What started as a vision to make a small difference grew into a nonprofit that changes lives in a profound way.
Through Driving Single Parents, we have given away vehicles to families in need, but these are not just cars. They are tools for independence, stability, and hope. When a parent can drive to work, take their child to school, attend medical appointments, or simply spend Sundays with family, their entire world shifts. Each key we hand over represents a fresh start and a brighter future. The impact extends beyond one parent and one child. It ripples through entire families and communities, creating lasting transformation.
Little Give
Little Give is my television show and podcast that celebrates the extraordinary things ordinary people are doing in the world. It began with a simple philosophy, small acts of kindness, or “little gives,” have the power to create big ripple effects. Too often, the media focuses on the negative, but I wanted to build a platform that shines light on the positive.
Through Little Give, I interview changemakers, visionaries, and everyday people who are making a difference. Their stories remind us that no act of giving is ever too small. From nonprofit founders to community volunteers, these guests inspire audiences to believe in their own power to contribute. What makes Little Give special is not just the interviews themselves, but the movement it represents. Every episode is a reminder that hope, generosity, and connection are alive and well. It proves that if we all commit to a little give, we can create a world of impact.
FORCE Magazine
FORCE Magazine is my global publication dedicated to spotlighting people and organizations who are shaping the world in meaningful ways. Available in over thirteen countries and more than ten thousand online retailers, FORCE Magazine has become a best-selling platform that brings together entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and everyday heroes.
My vision for FORCE Magazine was to create a space where readers could discover stories that uplift, educate, and inspire. We highlight individuals who are making waves in their industries and communities, and we give them a platform to share their mission. From monthly columnists to cover features, FORCE is about amplifying voices that might otherwise go unheard.
FORCE stands as a reminder that being a force to be reckoned with is not about profit or fame. It is about impact. It is about the legacy of lives touched and communities lifted up. By sharing these stories, we invite readers to be part of a movement that values authenticity, courage, and contribution.
A unified mission of Cindy Witteman
Though these three platforms each have their own unique purpose, they are tied together by one common mission, to spread good news, create opportunities, and change lives. Driving Single Parents puts keys in the hands of families who need them. Little Give broadcasts the power of small acts of kindness. FORCE Magazine shines a spotlight on extraordinary people making a difference.
Together, these platforms tell a bigger story, one of resilience, generosity, and hope. They are not just organizations or media outlets. They are tools for transformation. They exist to remind us all that no matter where we come from or what obstacles we face, we have the power to rise, to give, and to create impact.
Call to action
The journey I have been on is not just mine. It is an open invitation to others to be part of something greater. Whether you want to support single parents, hear stories that inspire you, or share your own journey with the world, there is a place for you in this movement.
You can get in touch and learn more by visiting:
