Sandy Hook Shootings: Paying Forward Acts of Kindness Inspired by Tragedy

Sandy Hook Generates Acts of Kindness

We are asked to commit 26 Random Acts of Kindness in honor of the recent murders there.

Some of the Sandy Hook victims:

"While the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School have no doubt left the nation shaken, they have also inspired an outpouring of acts of kindness from across the nation and around the world.

The central hub of many of these is on display in the U.S. Post Office in Newtown, Conn., a community shaken by the killing of 20 children and six school staff members by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who also killed his mother and shot himself.

Mountains of mail and packages are flowing in from all over the world. Some are simply addressed to "Newtown" or specific families who lost people in the shootings. They're coming with return addresses ranging from Idaho to Virginia Beach and far beyond."

In the wake of this horrible tragedy, we are offered the opportunity to pay it forward to help ease the pain.
