The "BE KIND" Sisters

​It's a  simple phrase that  reminds us to   BE KIND.  

Two young girls - Raegan and Rylyn Richins (13 and 10) -   are not only   KIND to their siblings who  have Down syndrome but  also pour out that message to encourage their ​ENTIRE community in Oldham County, Kentucky, to    BE KIND.

Raegan and Rylyn were inspired to create the signs ​when they saw kindness signs in another county. Since launching this initiative in August 2019, they have hand-painted  over  3,500 signs to promote the need to   BE KIND.

Their signs are proudly displayed at private homes and businesses,   and even an anonymous donor purchased signs for every public school  in Oldham County to remind students and parents to   BE KIND.

Each sign is $10 (unfortunately, there is no shipping), and the funds raised through this project are going to local charities in the name of their KIND   community.

Even at a young age, Raegan and Rylyn are teaching us about the importance of being gentle, generous, and charitable.
