Each Wednesday to pause for all the good around us. we’ve partnered with the Maguire Law Firm to bring you Carolina Kindness.

A woman used her talents to help seniors cope with isolation.  Carleigh Berryman started her own company Viva Vita that uses virtual reality.  She noticed that her own grandmother was beginning to experience depression from the isolation during shutdowns.  She figured out a way to get her technology into senior communities where seniors could go on virtual tours of art museums, other states. the results have been game changers literally for these seniors.

This act of kindness helped a woman get through a tough time by simply being seen.  Amanda Marker lives in a beautiful home with her daughter.   But her life wasn’t always so pretty. she recently told her story of being homeless living under a bridge.  She lived her life with her head down most of the time, out of shame for her situation.  Amanda says an act of kindness she encountered one day helped her take the next steps to getting out of a bad situation. A man and his wife stopped and asked her if she was ok one day. Their kindness caused her to look up.   They ended up inviting her into their home that day for a soda and a sandwich, allowed her to shower and gave her fresh clothes.   She says that human to human interaction was the gift that helped her turn her life around.
