6-Year-Old’s Heartfelt Reaction to Cemetery Vandalism Shows That Kindness Counts
In a world where kindness can sometimes feel like a rare commodity, six-year-old Mia Thompson decided to take matters into her own tiny hands. After catching wind of some unfortunate vandalism at a local cemetery, where tombstones were defaced, Mia felt a tug at her heartstrings and wanted to spread some love to uplift those affected.
The troubling news hit home for Mia’s mom, Jenna, who discovered that one of the damaged tombstones belonged to a distant relative. Feeling the weight of the situation, Mia, with her wise-beyond-her-years perspective, decided to create hand-painted rocks as a mitzvah— a Hebrew term for a good deed. “She understands that when you visit a cemetery, it’s customary to leave a rock on a tombstone as a sign of remembrance,” Jenna explained. “Mia said she wanted to paint ladybugs for good luck and hearts to spread even more love because she thinks we all need a little bit of that.”
Over the past few weeks, Mia has painted more than 500 rocks, and thanks to the wonders of social media, they’ve reached families affected by the cemetery vandalism. “Kindness matters,” Mia told us. “It’s inspiring and powerful, and we should all live like that.”
Not stopping at just sending rocks to the cemetery in her hometown, Mia has also shared her painted goodies with families across the country—from those grieving the loss of loved ones in tragic events to communities mourning together. Each box of colorful creations includes a handwritten note that proudly states: “Kindness Matters.”
The response to Mia’s efforts has been overwhelmingly positive. “It’s incredible how a little girl can remind us all of the power of kindness,” Jenna remarked. “In many ways, we look up to her just as much as she looks up to us.” Mia, an aspiring scientist or doctor who has been painting since she was a toddler, is not just a sister to her younger brother, Leo, but a role model as well.
Her initiative shows that while many adults might feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by negativity, Mia is out there doing what she can to make the world a better place—one hand-painted rock at a time. As we reflect on her efforts, it’s a gentle reminder that kindness truly can change lives.
