Indianapolis recently welcomed FFA members for their annual convention, where they quietly spread kindness. Amid them, the Amt family faced hotel living due to home flooding. After a noisy night, Randi Amt approached the students, explaining her situation. They apologized and left a note with $40 to help.
Inspired by a convention speech on kindness, the Amts decided to pay it forward. They started a fundraiser to aid the homeless in Indianapolis. Randi noted, “We realize how blessed we are. We’re fortunate to have shelter.” Their children also learned a valuable lesson from the FFA students’ generosity.
Trint Peine, the FFA students’ advisor, expressed pride in their actions, saying, “My kids went out and used what they learned to make a difference.”
In a time of division, these stories show that small acts of kindness can create a ripple of goodwill and compassion in our communities.
