Kindness Day

The Kindness Project

Sharing and Support

The MISS Foundation's Dr. Cacciatore started the Kindness Project in 1996 as a way for families to cope with the tragedy of a child's death. Since then, more than 1,000,000 kindnesses have been committed around the globe in memory of children, gone too soon.

Anyone can participate in memory of anyone!

Here's what you do:

Visit the MISS Foundation's International Kindness Project Day website:

www.KindnessProjectDay.org



Start thinking about acts of kindness - especially anonymous ones as those are the most powerful - you can commit in your neighborhood and community!

After you get your free templates (available between July 20th and 27th), print your Kindness Project cards in English or Spanish.

Share this event with others! IDEAS FOR THIS: Send email invitation to the Facebook event; print out our Kindness Project Brochure and share them around your town; do your own Kindness Project and send press releases to your local tv, radio, newspapers to spread the word.

Then- drum roll please- on July 27, 2011, go out into this world and help to created more Kindness in memory of your beloved!

Help spread the word by sharing our International Kindness
Project Day press release with your local media!

We hope everyone will join us in this amazing experience! Don't worry- you can commit a Kindness Project act that costs nothing (mow someone's yard, offer a homemade gift, bring cookies to a nursing home), only your time and devotion to another!

Or, you can have fun buying Starbucks for the person in line behind you... or you can leave flowers on a strangers' door... or you can buy someone's meal at a restaurant anonymously, or you can leave a $10 bill on the ground where someone can find it wrapped around a Kindness Project card... the list is endless! See our Kindess Project Ideas page for even more!

Imagine this:
All around the world,
on this one day of the year,
mourners will be transforming their grief into a
powerful message of love, hope, peace, and kindness!

International Kindness Day

About the Kindness Project

The Kindness Project began in 1996 as a way for families to honor their deceased child and to help themselves heal. Now, years later, more than 1,000,000 Kindness Project cards have been used around the world to perform random acts of kindness in memory of a child, parent, friend, or spouse who died before their time.

The idea is to perform random acts of, usually anonymous, acts of kindness in your community. A little card is left behind so that the person who benefits from the kindness knows that someone's life and death continues to matter. This beautiful movement has helped thousands of families to heal and find positive outlets for their overwhelming grief.

The History of the Kindness Project

The Kindness Project is a worldwide movement to share our children (or other loved ones) with those who never had the honor to meet them. Let me tell you why we are so excited about this project...

Dr. Joanne Cacciatore's daughter, Cheyenne, died in July of 1994. It was the worst day of her life. She says how she never imagined herself laughing or experiencing joy again.

Dr. Jo began to seek out ways to keep Cheyenne's memory alive within her family and to the rest of the world: She wanted to create a quiet legacy. She wanted people to know that Cheyenne existed and, more importantly, she wanted to help change the lives of others because of her presence on this earth.

So Dr. Jo set out on various missions of random kindness. On a daily basis, she looked for opportunities to reach out and do something unexpected and unusually kind for someone else. Most often, strangers were the recipients of these good deeds. As she did them, she began to feel a sense of peace in knowing that Cheyenne was the reason for her compassionate enlightenment

The Kindness Project blossomed out of the extraordinary experiences Dr. Jo had while doing things for others. She discovered that truly miraculous things happen to our spirits when we reach out to help others, and so she sought a way to share that movement with others.

It is our hope that through the Kindness Project, we can make incredible transformations within our communities, in our families, and in ourselves. Just imagine if every person touched by death would participate in helping to transform the world into a gentler and more altruistic world! What an impact this would have on so many levels!

The Kindness Project reminds others that our children, and other loved ones, are so very important to us that we are willing to extend the life and love of our child and share it with others! It is a legacy that transcends death. It is a legacy of love.
