She met one afternoon as they were cleaning up up after a busy day at the center Mia turned to Angela her face thoughtful mommy. She said do you think we're making a difference Angela knelled down looking her daughter in the eye sweetie I know we are look.

At her eyes oh baby she whispered you're changing the world one act of kindness at a time and I couldn't be prouder as they walked home.

That was spreading kindness across the country all because her little girl had seen someone in need and decided to help the sun was setting. As they reached their apartment building casting a warm glow over the neighborhood as they climbed the stairs Angela realized that while their address hadn't changed. Their home had expanded as the Mia Thompson Foundation continued to grow and flourish Angela and Mia found themselves adapting to their new roles.

One crisp autumn morning as as they were walking to school Mia spotted a new face on their street an elderly woman struggling with her groceries without hesitation.
