Grace McDonnell

Our thirteenth random act of kindness for the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy was made in the memory of Grace McDonnell, age 7, who loved the ocean and dreamed of becoming a painter who lived in Martha's Vineyard. Her family called her the "light" of their home, and she is sorely missed by her brother Jack. Grace was also known for her constant motion. Whether skipping joyfully to the bus stop or tumbling in gymnastics classes with friends, Grace enjoyed life to the fullest.

In Grace's memory, we have donated the funds to cover half of the gymnastics lesson fees for a little girl at a Tumble Kids center.
