Kindness Creator Samuel Weidenhofer is on a mission to ensure one veteran or veteran’s family in every US state never has to work again.

With over 15 million people behind him, this is more than a fundraiser. It’s a national movement to honour those who have served.

Every donation matters.

Every share helps change a life.

This is Bob from South Dakota’s story…

"Bob is our coworker and an 81 year old Navy Veteran who will turn 82 this year. I met him a few years ago when I joined his department. Right away, I noticed his strong work ethic and kindness. I also learned he returned to work because his Navy pension had run out.

Over the years, Bob has faced many hardships. He lost his wife, whom he cared for until the very end. He used his savings to support her and his family. Now, he continues to carry financial stress just to get by.

Bob lives in his family home, but it is in poor condition. Winters are especially hard. Some days, the house barely stays warm, and he worries about frozen pipes. The roof leaks, and repairs have been out of reach. He also relies on older vehicles that often need work.

Even with all of this, Bob still gives to others. He has shared food and money with people in need, even when he had very little. He is the kind of person who always shows up for others.

We are hoping to help Bob finally retire and live with comfort and peace. Any support will help him stay safe, care for his health, and enjoy time with his family and animals without constant worry."
