You never know how an act of kindness can change a life.
When we reached out to high school student Michael Oher and gave him a home, we didn't realize it would matter to anyone except the three of us. Lord knows, we never thought we'd be attending the Academy Awards with Sandra Bullock, who would win an Oscar for playing Leigh Anne in a movie!
There are so many Michael Ohers in this country, walking on the streets, close to falling through the cracks. We just need to be more cognizant of those around us.
Society pretty much had deemed Michael valueless. Through a random act of kindness, we offered him a simple ride. That turned into changing a life. Today, six years later, Michael is an immensely successful, happy young man. Now he's giving back, helping troubled kids in his community as a member of the NFL's Baltimore Ravens.
If good things can continue to happen from our little story, we can certainly keep doing our part. We'd like to help you do yours. Here are eight easy, small ways you, too, can help out and make a big difference in someone's life.
