Being kind to people helps your mental health. Things are getting ugly, but we can help turn things around with kindness. Pretty soon many Americans may be out of food, if you can find a food bank please donate food, pet food, and personal hygiene items. Food banks really appreciate money as they can buy items that are need for their clients.
