Ideas for August 7th

87 ways to show up in his name.

01
Leave a generous tip
More than you normally would. No reason needed.
02
Pay for the order behind you
Coffee, fast food, whatever - just cover it.
03
Write a note to someone who needs it
A friend, a coworker, a parent - tell them what they mean to you.
04
Bring treats or supplies to an animal shelter
Toys, food, blankets - call ahead and ask what they need most right now.
05
Donate blood or plasma
The gift that keeps going after you leave the building.
06
Bring flowers to a neighbor
Especially one who lives alone. Especially one who might not expect it.
07
Call someone you've been meaning to call
You know who it is. August 7th is the reason to stop waiting.
08
Give to Manny's Fund
Support families walking the same road Sam and Stacey walked.
09
Let someone go first
At the intersection. In the checkout line. In a conversation.
10
Forgive something small
Let it go. Don't keep the score. Just let it go today.
11
Tell a parent their kid is great
At the park, the store, anywhere. Just say it. They will not forget.
12-87
Make your own
Kindness doesn't need a script. If it helps someone - it counts.

Join the day. Any way you can.

We live on Facebook for the annual event - but we know not everyone is there. Both paths lead to the same place: doing something kind in Manny's name on August 7th.

Your act of kindness has been received. On August 7th, Manny's name is said a little louder because of you.

Every August 7th

He only knew love.

Manuel Michael Rodriguez was here. He was held, spoken to, and surrounded by people who loved him. Every act of kindness on August 7th is a way of saying: his life mattered, and we haven't forgotten.
