Obviously, there is a lot of big efforts out there, from feeding the hungry, to political activism, to creating and sharing free/fair resources for others.

At the same time, there’s plenty of important smaller efforts people make on a day to day basis. These efforts go underappreciated, but make a huge difference too, so I want to celebrate them.

For example, I recently went to a medical clinic, and they were unable to help me. As I was preparing to leave, the manager come out to apologise and helped direct me to a bunch of other resources that may be useful. I never paid for any services, and will likely never return to that clinic. It was purely a small kindness, but it really helped me feel less stressed, less alone and less hopeless in my suffering.
