#11DaysofKindness is in full swing... get inspired by a sweet and simple act of kindness that Pay it Forward 9/11 board member Dennis Marshall and his grandson Mateo did this week to say thank you to their local firefighters. We can't thank our first responders enough for all they did and sacrificed on 9/ 11... and every day. Thank you for your act of kindness, Dennis and Mateo! #NeverForget #firstresponders #firefighterlife

Kind collaborators like @thegarrettswann are everywhere! Check out the acts of kindness he performed in NYC for Pay it Forward 9/11 as we remember those we've lost, the survivors and their families, and the heroes who helped. #neverforget #collab #payitforward #actsofkindness #11daysofkindness #community #unity #kindness https://lnkd.in/gmN8-9BC
