Sometimes a lost stuffie leads somewhere nobody expected. When young KJ Smith lost her stuffed sloth in Savannah, Georgia, it was two men experiencing homelessness who found it and made sure it got back to her.

KJ and her dad didn't forget it. The family raised more than $1,600 for the two men, gave them stuffed sloths of their own, and kept going back to help others in Savannah. KJ even wrote a children's book, Sloth Goes to Savannah, with proceeds going to homeless assistance. Her family's motto: "Be like KJ, do something kind in your community."
