Hats off to Susanna Tocco in Naples, Florida for creating the Facebook page for Collier County Kindness Awareness Day this coming January 14th. She does so many kind acts for the Collier County community. Her current “drive” is to raise funds for 25 families who don’t have the money to buy a Christmas tree for their homes. Susanna does incredible acts of kindness like this all year long.
