Look in a mirror and what you will see is the face of KIN!
That's right it's YOU! K.i.N.
The Kindness Initiative Network
This is a group of like minded people from all walks of life; from all religious backgrounds, cultures, sexes, social and financial status's who share one goal and that is being kind to one another and spreading kindness to everyone they come in contact with. As a group we refer to one another as KIN, which means family!
Families have strong bonds with one another and sometimes we don't always agree or approve of the actions of our family members. However, nothing ever changes the fact that we share this bond and that whether we want to or not, we love and try our best to be kind to one another. Wouldn't it be great if we treat everyone in the whole world this way? This is the mission of KIN to change the the world thinks and works one good deed at a time! If you want to do that all you have to do is take the initiative....What is an initiative you ask?

The Kindness Initiative Network is not a traditional charity. We are in the business of spreading kindness and inspiring others to do the same through our kind acts and good deeds. Many times people are inspired to do more than just a good deed. They want reach out and try to help someone in need any way that they can. When their kind acts turn to more of a charitable nature I encourage them to take the initiative to do what they can and post their efforts on our Facebook page to see if other KIN would like to help. The response that they get is always the same from this group it's always an overwhelming response of the KIN pooling their resources and coming together as a family (KIN)to do everything they can!
I would like to share with you a couple of my KIN that took the initiative recently to give you an idea of what this group is capable of. These are just examples, members of KIN do way more than this; they spread kindness in many ways big and small. The fact is that ALL KIN make an effort every day to spread kindness. These two people are a shining of example of what it means to take an initiative.
The first is a caring and dear friend and of course my KIN named Sue. Sue wanted to raise some money for some of our other very close KIN who have severe medical problems and can't afford equipment they need to make their lives more livable. Sue decided to sell christian art work that she had made from things she found in nature. She then used that money to buy some supplies to bake some delicious cupcakes that she sold to neighbors, friends and a local business owner in a matter of minutes. She also asked the owner of that business if he would put a donation jar on his counter which he happily agreed to. Finally she posted her efforts and asked for people to save bottles for her that she could return for the deposit. The Kindness Initiative Network did not raise money for her, she and her KIN did and so far it has been a success but her efforts will continue until she reaches her goal. If you would like to read more about Sue's cause check the link at the bottom of the page.
The second is my wife, Marie, who not only assisted Sue in her cause, she also played a big role helping my sister raise money for mounting medical expenses for my niece April, who has a rare disease of the blood vessels in her brain and many complications from that as well as having childhood diabetes. April need a lot of help and if you would like to read more about this AMAZING young lady I encourage you to do so. I will post a link at the bottom for April as well!
KIN has many faces and many new ones everyday these are two shining examples of the taking the initiative of spreading kindness and doing good deeds to a whole new level and using the POWER of the Kindness Initiative Network to help them further their cause. If you are reading this line I know that you are my KIN too and I thank you for everything you do. "We can not do a kindness to soon for we never know how soon is too late." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Thanks for reading and remember we are not here for a long time we are here for a good time so be KIND to each other!
