Kindness for Kate
The above news story is about my best friend Kate Goldstein. Kate and I grew up together from the age of 4 years old. She was my first friend in a time where I was constantly being bullied. You see, Kate and I were the nice kids. The kids who wouldn't say a bad thing about anyone and she and I stuck together because we decided kindness mattered more than anything.
As you see from the above article, Kate died tragically in India. She was installing solar panels in a remote region of northern India called Ladakh. She went out for a run one morning, as she always did, but never returned and her body was found in a ravine below a very steep cliff. She was reported to have slipped and fallen on some loose rock.
My heart is heavy with the loss of my best friend. However this morning, I woke up with an overwhelming sense to do great things in the world. And that's what Kate was all about which is why I want to start the "Kindness for Kate" project. I want to encourage small, or even big acts of kindness in honor of my best friend. That's what she would have wanted and that's what I want to give her. She gave everyone she knew so much just by being kind and going above and beyond to help people. I want the world to know about this amazing girl.
Let's spread #kindessforkate!!!
