Today we write about another Super Mero. A Super Mero is someone that puts forth the effort to be the best version of themselves for them self and for others. Patience Salgado was recently featured in O magazine as a local hero for the amazing things she is creating in her home town of Richmond, Virginia.
It is truly remarkable the amazing smiles Patience is creating in her community from writing chalk messages in front of schools to leaving random notes of inspiration on residents door steps. Here are just a few of her ideas you may wish to try within your community:
*She and her Mero team enjoy ringing a strangers doorbell leaving random gifts or flowers with notes on their doorstep.
*She places gift certificates for ice cream cones in the pocket of backpacks during back to school time in departments stores.
*Tie messages of encouragement to flowers, candy canes, pumpkins or leave inside give away Easter eggs. Whatever the season is and leave the items and the notes randomly through out the community.
It seems she was brought up giving back to her community deliver meals, visiting hospitals etc. That is exactly what she is role modeling to her children. She constantly encourages others to do their own acts of kindness. She even founded Pennies in Protest, encouraging residents to donate to organizations being targeted with hate crimes. They have raised over $14,000!
What a blessing she is to herself, her friends, her family and to those around her! Patience Salgado, mother of 4 children, you are truly a Super Mero! Thank you for all you do and your constant efforts to make our world a better place!~Shirene
