Since the inception of the Kindness Project, we have received many requests for Kindness Cards along with many stories of Kindness Acts. Here is just a sampling of Kindness:

Dear SIDS Scoop,

What a perfectly wonderful idea you have created is using the little business type cards (The Kindness Project) in memory of our loved ones...I lost my only child, Kelley, over two years ago. It's been and still is the most devastating thing in my whole life! She was and still is such a little angel. I would be more than happy to use your cards in Kelley's memory...I look forward to keeping Kelley's memory alive even more during this time and I think these cards will help me do this even more.

Thank you for creating something positive out of something so negative.

Sincerely,

Hello!

You have such a good idea! I ordered several cards from you this summer and have used them. On January, 11, 1998 my 19 year old brother and 21 year old cousin were killed in an automobile accident. It has been so tough getting through this last year for the whole family. However, your cards have helped. We have done several things. My father gave his used truck to a young adult that was deaf who was trying to start a lawn care company. I have also sent them with flowers. Did you attend The Compassionate Friends Conference in Nashville, TN. last July? We bought several tapes of a beautiful song, " Precious Child," at the conference and have given the cards in the tape to people who have also lost loved ones. Please send me 50 cards ( not the memory of my child the other one).

Thanks!

Dear Joanne and Alliance,

What a great web-site you have developed and along with it a wonderful project. The Kindness Project is something that seems so simple yet never came to my thoughts until reading your site. My husband and I lost our little girl on September 14, 1998. She was just 3 days old. Final autopsy results are not yet available so as yet we are unsure what actually claimed her life. Fortunately, we were able to take several pictures. As well, we were able to hold her and rock her. It was a wonderful feeling. Avery was our first child and we love her very much.

Thank you for a wonderful idea. People like you make a difference in this world.
