“Even the smallest act of kindness can bloom into something that makes a difference.”

We don’t need to see the outcome for it to matter.

Kindness often carries on quietly…
noticed or not, it still leaves something behind.

Struggling doesn’t always look like struggling.
Checking in - even when things seem ok.
Because support doesn’t always wait to be asked for.
