The Kindness List Keeps Growing
Friends – We want to say thank you and acknowledge how amazing, inspiring and powerful this community #ForBlake has become. We still don’t know what to make of all that’s happening, but we are so grateful for each of you being a part of it. As you know, last month would have been Blake’s 5th birthday and I would be remiss not to share a mere snapshot of what took place. I am not even able to list all the good deeds spread #ForBlake – but there are stories of kindness and generosity locally here in San Diego, throughout California to Oregon, New Jersey, Texas, Florida and also in Guam, Japan and as far away as New Zealand!

PS – If you did a good deed or were the recipient of a good deed, we would REALLY appreciate it if you’d take 2 minutes to share it on the website so it can be tracked on the map, and it can be archived among the HUNDREDS of other good deed stories found on https://forblake.org/#tracking.
