Please join Heller's Facebook Group, Random Acts of Kindness Because of Heller.

WELCOME!

On the day of Heller’s life celebration, his grandmother (Mapa) said these words:

“Many people have mentioned the fact that this tragedy (the loss of our sunshine) is heightened by the fact that it happened around Christmas, and they wonder how we will ever get through another Christmas.

Christmas is Christ’s day and we will continue to celebrate Jesus on that day! But December 22nd will be a day reserved for celebrating the life of Heller, and we will celebrate on that day (and perhaps a few days prior to) the way he would want us to. On that day, we will go out and make a change, do a good deed, and let the world know that a little boy once lived for that special reason.”

So, on December 22nd, Heller’s friends and family will honor his memory by spreading random (and deliberate) acts of kindness to others. We encourage you to go out and spread some kindness of your own.

Then, if you would like to, please leave a comment or send an email to BecauseofHeller@aol.com and share what you did, what you witnessed, or what others did for you so we may share Heller's impact with others. So we can remember that we are still celebrating his life!

Have You Received a Kindness Inspired by Heller?

Help this Site Grow Because of Heller

This year, we are making the choice to look forward to December 22nd! We cannot wait to share Heller's kindness with others. We know there will be difficult times as the date grows nearer, so we look forward to stopping by this site during those times to see what kindnesses are growing and to share stories of our kindnesses as well.

Please feel free to send an email to BecauseofHeller@aol.com with any suggestions, comments, thoughts, or ideas about how we can make December 22nd even more special "Because of Heller."

Get Ready to Share Kindness!

Are you ready to celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Because of Heller Day?!  “No,” you say?  You didn’t realize it was December already?!  You don’t have a dime to your name because you spent all your money on Black Friday?  You just had a run of October-November birthdays and parties to pay for?  (That was me.)  

Well, I have good news.  You still have 21 days to get ready.  And, the even better news?!  Kindness doesn’t have to cost a thing!  And, BEST OF ALL?!  Kindness PAYS YOU BACK!!

I heard a song today.  I know you’ve heard it too.  It was, The Little Drummer Boy.  It’s definitely a top fiver for me as far as Christmas songs go.  I used to sing it to Heller when he was a toddler.  He loved to sing along, dance, and beat his drum while I sang.  If I sang it for you, I guarantee you would not find it a kindness, but Heller loved my singing, and he rewarded me with his laughter and music.

The song is about kindness.  The Little Drummer Boy had nothing, and yet he gave.  He shared what he had.  And what a reward!  Baby Jesus “smiled at him!”  Whew!  That would be enough for me.

To get into the spirit of the season, I would like to share the song I heard today.  Go ahead.  Have a listen! Just click the link below.  And, when it’s over, start getting ready.  You have lots of kindnesses to share!  Get ready to put them out there!

Little Drummer Boy - A capella.
