The Kindness Pandemic

With the craziness of COVID-19, there are many people who are trying to help others in may ways! 

Recently I was roaming through Facebook and found a page called the Kindness Pandemic. When opening this page you are flooded by posts of ways that people are trying to help each other, some of these include Kids creating art for the elderly, people putting tabs down so others can have free coffee and Companies helping other company workers by providing them with free foods or services.

The Kindness Pandemic is important at this time as it has started creating a domino effect that has now entered the media with celebrity John Krasinski using youtube as a platform to provide you with the good, heartwarming things in the world. 

On Sunday after asking his social media followers to send him some good news for a change. He created a new YouTube show dedicated to sharing the good news with others. Stating “We are all going through an incredibly trying time, but, through all the anxiety, through all the confusion, all the isolation, and all the Tiger King, somehow the human spirit found a way to break through and blow us all away.”

For many of us, this is a very trying time and things like The Kindness Pandemic and John Krasinski’s Good news are helping everyone find the light at the end of this long tunnel. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with this situation or needing a little light I would personally suggest looking at these amazing platforms that are helping many in so many different ways! It may even inspire you to find a simple way to help someone around you!

Let’s all work together to make it through this challenging time and help each other any way we can!
