WHEN GRATITUDE COMES BACK AROUND

The Ripple

One thank-you leads to another.

A thank-you can start with a smile and travel far beyond that moment. Tell us what it meant to you, share a note, photo or video, or send a thank-you back. Then pass your story on.

What is The Ripple?

Like ripples spreading across water, one small act of gratitude can reach beyond the person who receives it. A thank-you brings a smile; that smile can inspire another kind act. That is The Ripple.

Tell the story of what you gave or received: a few words, a note, a photo, a video or a voice recording. Invite the person you thanked to tell their story too, if they wish.

You can leave your name off, or add a name or nickname. Your draft and media stay in this browser; this website does not collect stories or post them automatically. Share from your own account and that account is still visible. Photos, voices and details can also reveal identities, so ask permission before sharing someone else’s words or media.

Tell it in your words.

Ask permission before sharing someone else’s words or image. You can leave your name off below. 0/1,000 characters.

Your name appears only if you type it below. Posting from your own social account still identifies that account; faces, voices and details in your media may identify people too.

Up to 4 files, 25 MB each, 50 MB in total. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, MP4, MOV, WebM, MP3, M4A, WAV or OGG. Only share people’s images or voices with their permission.

    Your ripple, ready to share.

    Your words will appear here. Make them your own.

    Write a few words or add a photo above, then share your ripple.

    Your story card and hashtags are ready to go. Nothing is posted automatically.

    Invite friends to 10×10:

    Your story stays yours. Your words, optional name and selected media stay in this page while you edit; they are not uploaded or saved by this website. Keep this page open while you prepare your story; drafts are not saved for later. Sharing sends your chosen content to the app you select. There is no public story wall or automatic posting to campaign accounts. The initiative stores only the two challenge totals.

    Pass it on with a scan.
