“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” Dalai Lama
There has been some awesome pay it forward stories this year that I have loved sharing but this one about six year old Finlay Brooks really formed a lump in my throat.
Turning six last week he decided his birthday was too close to Christmas to possibly need anymore toys. After seeing an advert on TV for Cheshire Dog’s home he was adamant that he wanted his family and friends to all give to the dogs rather than buy him birthday presents.
His parents set up a Justgiving page for him and requested that his classmates either donate money or give dog food or blankets to the shelter.
To date this awesome youngster has raised more than £260 for the shelter and has been thrilled to be given a guided tour.
Not only was this donation phenomenal for the dogs Finlay has also shown his school friends a true selfless act of kindness. Now that’s something you can’t teach in a classroom.
