In light of recent events, six-year-old Mia Thompson felt compelled to share kindness and love to help “make the world a better place.” After watching a news report about vandalized graves at a Jewish cemetery in her hometown, she discovered that one of the damaged tombstones bore her great-grandfather’s name. Mia’s mother, Sarah Thompson, was deeply moved by her daughter’s reaction and shared the story.
Mia, understanding the significance of kindness in the world, decided to create hand-painted rocks as a mitzvah—a Hebrew term for “good deed.” “I want to paint ladybugs for luck and hearts to spread love,” Mia explained, showing her desire to uplift the families affected by the tragedy.
In just six weeks, Mia has painted over 500 rocks, spreading her message of love. With the aid of social media, Sarah was able to reach out to the families impacted by the cemetery vandalism, sending them Mia’s colorful creations. “Kindness matters,” Mia said. “It inspires people and has power, so we should all try to live that way.”
Mia’s painted rocks have not only gone to the affected cemeteries in St. Louis, but also to families grieving losses in Philadelphia and Chicago. She has sent rocks to honor Adam Greene, who succumbed to cancer, and to the family of Jake Collins, who tragically lost his life in a recent accident. Each box of painted rocks includes a personal note signed with “Kindness Matters.”
The response to Mia’s initiative has been overwhelmingly positive, with her mother noting, “It took a little girl to remind us that kindness is essential in life.” Mia, who has always had a creative spirit, aims to become a doctor one day because she wants to make a difference in people’s lives. Her 3-year-old brother, Leo, often joins her in painting rocks, inspired by his big sister.
Mia’s efforts are a beautiful reminder that while adults may often feel powerless, even the smallest actions can create significant change. As she continues to spread love and kindness one painted rock at a time, we are all reminded of the impact of compassion.
