In September 2013, volunteer firefighter John Gelalia was living in his gutted house on the New Jersey shore without furniture, electricity or running water. Although John helped to save lives and homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, he was also one of the hurricane's victims, still struggling to rebuild his life a year after the massive storm destroyed swaths of coastal communities along the East coast.

In October of 2013, Hurricane Sandy's one-year anniversary John Gelalia has moved into his completely renovated home because of the actions of the KIND community.  When we shared John's story in September we asked you to support him by watching and sharing the inspirational story of Waves for Water and their work organizing the surf community into action after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on coastal towns. http://www.kindsnacks.com/dtkt/kindawesome-qa-with-jon-rose-founder-of-waves-for-water/ You responded with overwhelming support and with each view we donated an additional $1 to the project. 

KIND partnered with relief experts Waves for Water to restore John's home. His story was an inspiration for our team and we're proud to share that with the support of our community, volunteers from Waves for Water, and expert labor and materials courtesy of Home Depot--John is comfortably resting in his newly rebuilt home.

Our commitment to doing the kind thing doesn't stop there. Every month, KIND is supporting a project that makes the world a better place. When you imagine a better world, what do you see? You can submit your project here or support amazing ideas by pledging a kind act of your own here: http://projects.kindsnacks.com/landing/
