Today's act of kindness was to donate to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, via the Emilie Parker Fund.
Emilie was one of the victims of the shooting, and she was originally from Utah, so it hit a little closer to home. Her parents have been lauded for their lack of anger towards the man who killed their daughter. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints they have a unique understanding of the situation. They know that Emilie is okay, they know that she is perfect, and they know that feeling anger isn't going to make the situation better. Her mother, in an interview on Katie, basically said that she couldn't imagine what it must be like for the shooter because he was in such a dark and evil place. She felt bad for him.
That is a true act of kindness.
