Jessica Burnette has
stocked the Little Free
library at Depot Park in
Kennesaw with food for
neighbors in need. She asked
that residents take what they
need and help keep it
stocked.
I wanted to share an act of kindness
that happened to me today by a
complete stranger.
Today, I went to the post office by the
Marietta Square to mail some packages.
While I was there, I dropped my license
and didn’t realize it until I was already at
home.
I frantically turned around and raced
back to the post office to see if they had
it. Unfortunately, when I got there, no
one had seen it.
Since the DMV is closed, I started
thinking the worst. How long would I be
without my license? However, it just so
happened that an older man found my
license at the post office. While I was
there searching for it, he drove to my
house to personally deliver it to me.
Of course, I didn’t know about it until
I returned home. But once my family
told me, I felt a huge amount of relief
and gratitude for this stranger that took
the time out of his day to return my
license to me.
We didn’t get his name, but I’m very
thankful for him!

I wanted to pass along the story of Kennesaw resident,
Michelle Davis, who along with her daughter, Maddie,
turned what unfortunately became a canceled birthday
celebration into an act of kindness.
Maddie and her friend, Jules, were supposed to have a
birthday sleepover, to celebrate her best friend’s 11th
birthday. However, the festivities were canceled due to “safe at
home” and social distancing practices. Sure, Maddie was
upset because she was missing out on this sleepover, but she
was sadder for Jules, whose birthday would come and go this
year without any fanfare. As such, she and her mom took it
upon themselves to make a fun crafty kit and do what they
could to bring a smile to Jules’ face, letting her know the
milestone was not going to go unnoticed.
Using her Cricut machine, Maddie and her mom were able
to make a pillowcase and shirt that could be colored in, two
canvases and a personalized picture frame to decorate.
Maddie also wrote a note to be included in the care package
— Happy birthday. I know that having your party canceled
sucks, but you now have some very entertaining crafts.
