A little something heart-warming.....

"A 5th grader's boredom while visiting her mom's job led to $70,000 for the elderly in need"

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/29/health/iyw-5th-grader-nursing-home-mission-trnd/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_term=link&utm_content=2019-02-02T01%3A01%3A26&utm_source=twCNNi

&quot CNN)Ruby Kate Chitsey asked the woman in the wheelchair why she was staring intently through the glass doors. Her answer broke the fifth-grader's heart.

Ruby Kate spends a lot of her summer at nursing homes near Harrison, Arkansas. Her mom's a nurse practitioner and Ruby Kate likes hanging out with the residents.

But the 11-year-old admits it can get boring.

That's why she approached the woman in the wheelchair as she sat watching her dog of some 12 years walk away. A friend had just brought him by for a visit, and the woman didn't know when she might see her dog again."


The small kindnesses are often so big.
