Ben's Bell

A women named Jeannette and her family lost their 3 year old son/brother named Ben in 2002. He was only 3. They were devestated and just wanted to die. The kindness of other people such as family, friends, or even people they didn't know helped heal them. Whether it was just flashing a smile, opening the door for her, or just a simple hello or good morning helped her heal. So they started an orginization called Ben's Bells in memory of their son and also to reassure people that the act of kindness is very powerful. They hang bells in random places for people to find with a note attatched that tells them to take the bell home and to pass on the kindness. Also working with the UofA program step up, they hand out hand-made clay bracelets that say step up and be kind. They're goal is to spread around the message of kindness and hope that everyone get's it.
