Woman With Chronic Illness Makes Random Acts of Kindness a Project

Patch readers told us who the "Everyday Inspirations" in their communities are, and we're sharing their stories and the work they've done locally.

Everyday Inspirations is a series that features people in Patch communities who inspire others through their work, or people who have faced extraordinary situations and grown from them. They have been featured by other people in the community that have been inspired by the nominees.

Name: Amy Wilson
Town: Warrington, PA

Why is this person an "Everyday Inspiration?" 
Amy runs Project Be A Blessing and strives to do daily random acts of kindness in the community everyday. Anything from making cards to send to sick children, feeding the homeless, to small gestures to lift others up. She also posts online (on a Blog, a Facebook page, and also on Instagram) to inspire others to be more kind! She and her husband fund this themselves as a way of giving back to others.

Has the nominee's life been changed in an extraordinary way? 

Amy's life has been changed in many positive ways. Seeing joy brought to others makes her happy! It helps her cope with having a chronic illness, too. 

How does this person work to make others' lives better?

Project Be a Blessing & Random Acts of Kindness. Amy strives to gives others a boost, bring them joy, show kindness and restore faith in humanity.

She walks the streets of Philadelphia to find homeless people to feed, has helped clothed people who were cold, she send cards to lift the spirits of children who are chronically ill, opens up her home to friends in need when they were without power due to storms, leaves letters of love in places for the right person to find, hands out lottery tickets and buys people coffee in line.
