Examples of uplift in a Sentence

1. Alexsis Rodgers:

   I've been glad to see Terry McAuliffe cite repeatedly that Terry McAuliffe is going to fight for paid sick leave, paid family and medical leave, and even make sure that home care workers get a raise.

Because with each trip, I am able to create and co-create with others and help provide opportunities for children to have a better, brighter future. That’s what keeps me going. My friends always say, ‘ you’re crazy ’ or ‘ how can you travel like this ? ’ But just knowing that you are making a difference, that you’re able to uplift the lives of children and their whole families ? That gives you energy to go on.

5. Sneha Revanur:
