Hello, my name is John and I am a student at the University of Chicago. Yesterday I received news of the passing of one of my friends back home. He was such a joy to have around and was a genuinely amazing person. Having almost reached the tiring end of my 3rd year and with exams next week, I am absolutely devastated. I was picking up my drumset from a band on campus today when I noticed this heart hanging from a window cage on the street. I’m a very curious person so I instinctually walked to check out the hanging heart as it was not there last week when I dropped my kit off. As I saw the message and looked at the website I started to tear up. This is random act of kindness is exactly what I needed in this moment and it is so comforting to discover such an amazing community.
