But have you ever tried surprising unknown people? Trust us. That gives you immense joy, and that person will remember you forever, even though you might not see each other ever again. Your single action can give you both a sense of value and satisfaction. We all feel unwanted at some time, but there’s someone who is with us, always and forever. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for a few & that is where we as SDF wanted to do this for the ones who are in need of it.”

It feels wonderful doing something with no strings attached. You can spread good vibes and make them feel what they are: special, worthy, and loved. If you are looking to make a difference, try doing the odds anonymously, like giving away something for the community.”
