A Kindness Idea to Remind People That They Matter

--by iferlamb, posted May 1, 2010

I received the most exciting message today! My kindness idea was selected!

I am going to make up some baskets complete with "You Matter" and Smile Cards and take them to local retirement homes. I will ask a staff member to give the resident most in need of this gift while explaining to them the idea of paying forward the kind act for someone else.

I hope this will start a kindness "epidemic" in the retirement homes that I take the baskets to. This is just my way of telling them that they are not forgotten and they matter!

Thank you HELPOTHERS!!
