Today is World Kindness Day, and this non-profit organization from Dripping Springs shows why kindness is so important – today and every day.
The Peyton Heart Project was created in June of 2015 after being inspired by several stories, including that of a 13-year-old boy named Peyton James who died by suicide in 2014. Peyton was a middle school student from Georgetown, Texas.
This is his and his family's story. See how you can make a difference.
