As they say alone, we can do so little, together we can do so much and we definitely proved this!!

Our next blood drive will be November 24, 2023 you can use our Red Cross Blood Drive Sponsor Code #NEVERBACKDOWN mark it down in your calendar.
Let’s continue to save more lives and make an impact. Every two seconds, someone in the US requires a blood transfusion, according to the American Red Cross. The benefits of donating blood include helping people injured in accidents, undergoing cancer treatment, and battling blood diseases, among other reasons. Importance of Blood Drives is when you give others live.
Donors, especially those who donate regularly, keep our nations blood supply stable. Although many donate blood after disasters, blood is needed every day of the year. There is no substitute for blood.

We are Humbled and Honored to have been able to bring happiness to the children at the New Destiny Family Success Center, through our Alex Sebahie Never Back Down Act of Kindness Project. Our Alex Sebahie Never Back Down Kindness Acts inspires acts of kindness around our communities, both big and small. We provide a vast network of caring people with the encouragement and support they need to change lives for the better, even if it is one smile at time.
All of these acts of kindness contribute to a bigger story, a message that Kindness Acts embodies and promotes — that you too can conquer the world one random act of kindness at a time.
This donation was made possible because of our donors, sponsors, and FAO Schwarz, we are beyond grateful for the opportunity to be able to touch many people through our project. Also, a Big thank you to Marie Sullivan on of the board members from Paramus Woman’s Club who was able to help us with contact information and delivery. Thank you all who were part of this project, creating happiness in the mist of someone’s darkest times with all we do. It sure takes a Village !

We are honored to be able to continue our Act of Kindness Project by spreading love with an abundance of toys to both Children’s Health Pediatric Cardiology and Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health Pediatric Oncology.
Our donation of toys mean more than just a toy to these children. When children are admitted to hospital they are at their most vulnerable. A visit to hospital can not only be a challenge, but also frightening and very traumatic, especially so in emergency situations. The children are not only unwell, but they are also separated from their friends, family and familiar surroundings which can lead to increased stress and anxiety.
What a great job these two medical offices are doing, not only for the children but the entire family unit going through their unique journeys. We are so happy we can be a tiny part of some glimmer of happiness for them.
Again, we want to say thank you to our generous donors, sponsors , volunteers and all who made this possible. Special thanks to FAO Schwartz for partnering up with us to create ripples of happiness in children’s lives with each Act of Kindness.

September
This day was a truly special day as we had the opportunity to bring joy to the children of the Memorial Day Nursery right here in Mission. Through the support of our amazing community and generous sponsors and donors, we filled up a truckload of toys to be donated to the nursery.
The smiles on the children’s faces will be priceless as they received these gifts of joy to be used and we couldn’t be happier to play a part in brightening their day. We believe that even the smallest acts of kindness can create a ripple effect of positivity.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us in making this donation possible. Your generosity and belief in our mission have touched the lives of these children and brought happiness to their hearts. Together, we are making a lasting impact on our community.
