The Story Behind 52 Smile Cards, Told Through A Vlog

Last week, HelpOthers received a very interesting request for 52 Smile Cards.  Whenever we receive such requests, they usually accompany an even more interesting story waiting to be heard.  And what a sweet story I found when I opened Beth's email...

"My friend Jazzi died a few months ago and I just found her Vlog. She was doing the Smile Cards and Vlogging about it. Just hearing her voice again made me smile so much, I want to do a card a week (I am a student so I do not have time to do a card a day) and Vlog about it just like her because in her short life she made so many people smile. Thank you for your consideration."

Spreading some smiles to honour a friend's life is such a beautiful tribute!  Our Smile Squad was really inspired by Jazzi's story and her friend Beth's tribute, so we decided to investigate further to see if we could locate Jazzie's vlog.  And thanks to Bhoutik, we managed to track it down...

 Pavi's reaction to Jazzi's vlog about Smile Cards, sums it all up perfectly :)

"Just watched the video and it moved me unexpectedly. She's so full of sparkle -- her braces and breezy confidence in front of the video camera brought to mind our own summer interns. Bless you Jazzi for understanding in your time here that it's never too soon to practice kindness. And bless you Help Others team for touching so many countless lives in beautiful ways that you will never fully know."

Thank you to the entire HelpOthers volunteer team including shippers, editors, community weavers, and all the undercover members of the Smile Squad for all that you do to inspire these kinds of ripples of kindness around the world!  We don't always see the impact of our intentions and actions, but stories like Jazzi's and Beth's are beautiful reminders of the spirit of HelpOthers and all that is possible because of you.  Thank you :)
