For most of her life, Kelyn Nightengale of Lincoln, Nebraska,
內布拉斯加州林肯市的凱琳·南丁格爾表示，
says she was more likely to donate her money than her time.
在她生命的大部分時間里，捐的更有可能是錢而非時間。
But after watching the social ruptures that emerged from the 2016 presidential election, that changed.
但在目睹了2016年總統大選社會出現分裂之后，情況有所改變。
"I knew that while I couldn't fix the world, I could affect what was around me, my family, and our city," she says.
她說：“我知道，雖然我不能改變這個世界，但我可以影響我周圍的一切，包括我的家人和我們所在的城市。”
So she launched a Facebook group called Make Lincoln Kind Again.
于是她在Facebook上創建了一個名為“讓林肯再次善良起來”的群。
Members have made cards for seniors, assembled hygiene bags for women in need, and gathered supplies for an incoming refugee family.
群里的成員們為老人制作卡片，為有需要的婦女集合衛生袋，為難民家庭收集物資。
There's some karma at play, too:
冥冥之中行善事，得善果：
When Nightengale had a stroke in January, members rallied to make hospital visits and look after her kids.
今年1月，當南丁格爾中風住院時，成員們聚集到醫院看望她，并照顧她的孩子。
"It's amazing to see people you barely know come out of the woodwork to support you," she says.
她說：“看到你幾乎沒見過面的人突然冒出來支持你，這種感覺真是太棒了。”
"Being nice isn't hard—and it doesn't have to cost a thing."
“做一個好人并不難——也不需要付出什么代價。”
