1 THING STORY

One action today,

a movement tomorrow.

When you chose to do one small thing instead of nothing.

#1Thing Stories

Checking in on a neighbor, standing up for someone, delivering a meal, or simply showing up. These are the kinds of moments that become 1Thing stories. They may seem ordinary, but they carry extraordinary weight. Not because they fix everything, but because they mean something — to someone.

When small things connect,

they become something more.

CONNECTING THE DOT

One small act can already mean everything. But when one story inspires another — and another — they create more than a chain. They create a movement. That is the power of connected 1Thing stories: a quiet ripple that grows into something far greater than we imagined.

A kid in my daughter’s class was having trouble with their Lunar New Year project, and I overheard him say his parents didn’t speak much English. I offered to help him one afternoon and we made paper lanterns to-gether. He told me it was the first time he’d ever made one. He smiled the whole time.
