Why am I sharing this story from July 2022? Because I want to beat a drum loudly and consistently: Kindness inspires kindness.
I took my 11-year-old son to the high Andes not just so he could help me, but so he could feel what it feels like to lift someone else up. My deepest wish is that by showing him acts of intentional empathy, I will inspire him to one day create his own ripple effects of good in this world.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Dear Future from those early 4-month-old days to where we are now. You aren't just funding school supplies; you are helping us teach the next generation how to care. ๐คโค๏ธ
