"People need to hear more of these success stories."
"When I was a little girl I used to get Christmas Dinner in a big brown box delivered to the front door - I thought that's how it worked for everybody."
"I had no idea that it was the kindness of strangers that it was helping out my family."
"When I got older and found out what other people had done for my family, I wanted to be that person for other people."
"I'm really proud to be a part of community that looks out for each other."
"The only thing I want people to remember about me is I was kind & I raised my child to be kind."
