My gifts are compassion and a genuine desire to help others. Whether I do so by one person or one million people, I will change this world.

If you really need it to be 25, you could just say “My gift is a genuine desire to help others” (and cut out the compassion part, because if you have a genuine desire to help others, it implies that you are compassionate.)
