A bequest is more than a donation: it is a way to leave a lasting impact even after one’s passing. Marc, a prospective benefactor, shares his thoughts: “There are several reasons to leave something to a good cause. It’s part of working towards a better world. Knowing that a better world is also a better world for my daughter and granddaughter.”
Marc, who has included charitable organisations in his will, shares an inspiring vision of what a bequest can accomplish. “I have a wonderful daughter and granddaughter, and the law ensures they will receive a portion of my estate, which is great,” he explains. However, for him, it is equally important to make sure his family lives in a better world. “My life experience has taught me the importance of organisations working toward a more sustainable, humanistic, and social world. Supporting these organisations will contribute to this better world.”
Marc decided to leave part of his estate to causes he considers indispensable to building this future. For him, this decision was not difficult: “It aligns entirely with what I’ve done in my life. [...] It is essential for civil society to be funded. I feel it is necessary to contribute.”
This testimony shows how a bequest can be a natural, compassionate extension of a lifetime of commitment.
The Restos du Cœur of Belgium work daily to build a world where everyone has access to a meal and essential support. By making a bequest, you enable the organisation to continue its mission sustainably, providing vital assistance to those in need.
As Marc highlights, leaving a bequest to a good cause makes it possible to contribute to a better future, not only for loved ones but for society as a whole: “Knowing that there are so many organisations truly worth collaborating with. Give them these opportunities, give them these chances.”
Beyond the material aspect, a bequest is also a way to pass on values. For Marc, it can be summed up as follows: “Sometimes you gain, sometimes you learn.” His act of generosity is guided precisely by this principle of continuous learning and building a better world.
Leaving a bequest to the Resto du Cœur of Belgium Federation is not only a way to help others but also a way to show loved ones that a compassionate future is possible. Your support will enable them to continue feeding those who need it most and to promote human dignity.
Make a gesture for the future. And let us build a fairer world together.
