Melissa in the Morning: If You Give a Kid Some Kindness

Melissa in the Morning: If You Give a Kid Some Kindness

A couple weeks ago, Melissa told you about a non-profit based in Massachusetts honoring a mother of 3 and registered nurse who died by suicide after struggling with depression for years.
Six months after the passing of Annie Varney, her aunt, Barbara Buckley, teamed up with Annie’s daughters to create something beautiful out of a horrific event. 
Buckley spoke with Melissa about the loss of Annie and what sparked what is now a national movement of spreading kindness and offering support through Annie’s Kindness Blankets.
She also touched on the expansion of their mission with a new book called ‘If You Give A Kid Some Kindness.’ For any teachers, parents or adults who want the book or to get involved with Annie’s Kindness Blankets: annieskindnessblankets.org
