The word 给 (gěi) literally means "to give", but is frequently used in Chinese to indicate the target of a verb. The target is who or what the verb is aimed or directed at. There are two structures for this:

Subject + Verb + Object + 给 + Target Subject + 给 + Target + Verb + Object

The meaning is the same with either structure.
