One Friday morning, Kevin Smith’s forgotten wallet became the catalyst for an extraordinary journey. A stranger’s selfless act of returning it ignited a passion in Kevin to spread kindness far and wide.

Inspired by this experience, Kevin founded Kindness Worldwide, a nonprofit dedicated to fostering kindness in every corner of the globe. Their initiatives include celebrating “Kindness Week,” implementing kindness programs in schools, and partnering with police departments to issue “Kindness Citations” that recognize everyday heroes.

Kevin firmly believes that kindness is our most valuable asset and is committed to proving it.

He emphasizes the profound impact that even the smallest gestures of kindness, like a smile or a simple hello, can have on others.

Host Patricia Wu urges us to follow Kevin’s lead and prioritize kindness in our own lives. By seeking out opportunities to go above and beyond for others, just as the Good Samaritan did for Kevin, we can collectively create a ripple effect of kindness that transforms our world.

This is the story of how a lost wallet sparked a global movement, reminding us of the power of kindness to connect us all and make a real difference.
