This story reinforces the saying kindness goes a long way. Doing something kind for someone can spawn a snowball effect which will influence many others. Really just a show of the power of kindness.

Okay, so we read one of your blogs every week for our homework in our leadership class and this one is the one that has impressed me the most so far. I guess it might be because I just think that the chain went that long with that many people raising that much money was really cool.
It could also be that I realized this is true charity. December 4 of 2020? When things looked terrible and people thought that nothing could make this situation get any better? It may be that people feel more spirited and kind during the holiday season, but this story brought me almost to tears. The story in Brainerd, Minnesota is a special occasion, maybe even a once-in-a-lifetime occasion of the community coming together and bringing love, hope, and JOY to a world and people who really need it at the time.
I strive to be loving at my school and in my community and to make a change in society and I know now, more than ever, we need charity like this to help people’s hearts grow. So, for this holiday season of 2022, I will be looking for ways to start a line, or chain, of love and kindness in my community.
