We asked entrepreneurs, artists, creatives and folks from every walk of life to share stories of kindness with us because we believe that hearing about kindness inspires more kindness. Our world needs more kindness.

There was a time in my life during which I was struggling to pay rent and just basically survive. During this period, both my digital keyboard and my computer broke. I was devastated that I was unable to make music or perform. News of my misfortune made its way to my supporters; the people who attended all my performances. These kind and generous people offered to purchase a digital keyboard and a microphone for me. They told me not to ever give up on my dreams and passion. Every time I see the equipment, I think of them and how lucky I was to have such kind help. Because of their support, I am here today to pursue my passion. Read more>>

The café I worked at would have would have food that was going to expire so whenever I could, I would go around Hollywood Boulevard and meet with some of the homeless who were in need. Especially in Hollywood, you’re seeing people sleep on concrete ground and using tarps as a bed. It could get tough, being there in the heart of it definitely came with a lot of heaviness. Seeing people struggle like that everyday can really weigh on your spirit. Read more>>
