An example to follow: mother and son create good chain in the USA

Do one good deed a day. That's what waitress Shannon Leavitt and her 10-year-old son have been doing ever since they created the Pay It Forward campaign. The pair wants to help spread acts of kindness around the world.

Their actions include buying and distributing gas cylinders, transporting someone's groceries in a supermarket parking lot, buying neighborhood notebooks for kids, and buying other people's meals at diners.

Leavitt, who paid for an elderly couple's dinner at a Chinese restaurant and gave his coat to a girl who was cold in the street, always leaves a card with people helped, saying, “Please do a good deed, be it. whatever she is. Then pass this card to the person and tell them to do the same thing.

The wife lives in a trailer with her husband David and their three children Ashton, 13, Kaden, 10, and Lindsay, 6. She has always taught her children to be altruistic and every day after school she asks them:? good deeds did you do today? The boy Kaden takes his cards to school. He opens the door for other students, helps carry books for teachers, and performs small good deeds every day at his school.
