At the beginning of the pandemic, teenager Sebbie Hall wanted to make sure every day, he did something kind for somebody else. And he's kept his word, and managed to do a random act of kindness every single day since the pandemic began.
It began for Sebbie, who has a rare chromosome anomaly and learning difficulties, when he gave his friend his iPad in early 2020 so they could Zoom chat with each other. His mother Ashley asked him what skills he could use to raise money, to which Sebbie answered, "I can be kind."
Since then, Sebbie's random acts of kindness have included walking neighbor's pets, watering gardens, posting mail for isolating locals, washing cars (even a boat), baking cakes for nurses, handing out PPE, collecting unwanted Halloween pumpkins and turning them into soup and pies for needy people, and giving warm coats to the homeless.
He's also handed out lottery tickets bought with his own money to strangers, given 100 roses to 100 women to make them smile, and volunteered at food banks, and along the way, has raised £28,000 ($39,000) in donations, of which he has given to countless charities.
Sebbie was told he would never walk or talk, and his mom loves that he's been able to defy everyone's expectations through his acts of kindness.
She tells Good News Network, "It's hard for any young person to go up to random strangers and speak to them, and even harder for Sebbie because he finds it really hard to find words himself. But he somehow found this inner strength of being kind. It's given him a position within his own community and a confidence that he didn't have before."
Sebbie has a simple reason for doing what he does. "Kindness is my superpower. I'm not stopping. I want to raise more money and make people more happy," he says.
