THE DONUM CHANCE PLEDGE
A Pledge to Someone Else
I, [your name], on this 11 of November, 2026, solemnly pledge to give [someone] another chance.
I pledge that I will see them as more than what has happened to them. Their past is not the whole of who they are, and it does not decide what they can do next.
I pledge to give without making them owe me anything, to respect their choices, and to keep asking:
What is their next step, and how can I help them take it?
My part is [what I will do].
I will do what I say, when I say I will. If I cannot, I will tell them honestly, and early.
I will listen more than I speak. I will help them take their step, not take it for them.
I will keep what they share with me private. Their story is theirs.
I will honour this chance, not by promising to solve everything, but by staying until their next step is done.
On [date], I will look back and tell the truth about what happened.
Someone once gave a chance to me, or to the people who came before me.
Now I give one.
And I will stay, as long as it takes, until the step is done.
This is my pledge. I make it freely, I make it solemnly, and I make it for [someone].
Signed: [your name]
Date: 11 November 2026
