B

Lena Ford was 7 when she started Arting for You. For this project, Lena collected art materials and gave them away to homeless kids in and around her hometown of Marietta, Georgia. “My grandma always wanted to give back to others,” Lena, now 15, told the reporter. “I was guided by that.”
Two years later, she started a small business called Positively Lena. It sells products with inspiring messages, including a book Lena wrote to help kids deal with hard times. “My goal is to spread positivity(积极乐观),” says Lena. She also offers workshops on creative writing and scrapbooking. Part of the money she makes goes toward her charitable(慈善的) efforts.
Lena has another project: Kinship Family Initiative. She and her mom set it up in 2022. The group helps kids who are being raised by a family friend or a relative other than a parent. This cause is close to Lena's heart. “My mom and her brothers were raised in a relative's family,” she says. One way Lena helps is by providing “positivity bags” packed with school things and her books.
“Honestly, it makes me feel really happy,” Lena says. “And that's why I keep doing what I'm doing: knowing that I'm making a difference and knowing that I'm making people happy.”
Kindness is powerful. Lena knows this. You probably do too. “Kindness means just making someone happy,” Lena says. “It can even be something as small as giving praise to someone: ‘Hey, your shirt looks nice. ’ Something just like that can make someone smile. It doesn't have to be something great. You can always just do something small, and it can make someone's day.”
Lena hopes more people show kindness to others. “If we want to grow up with kind people surrounding us, then we need to be kind to others,” she says. “You never know how you can influence someone else.”
