Helping others is sometimes easy to do with money, but being involved directly in a person’s life, as Robin often did, brings greater joy to ALL and healthier communities that connect and protect.
Mutual exchanges of kindness helps us all THRIVE and be stronger as a whole. Helping others rise above their constraints builds confidence and self-esteem. And it allows lonely people to be re-integrated into society and help them feel they belong.
I had a private conversation with one of Robin’s dearest friends of over 30 years. They were social workers together in countless contexts.
Robin could have led a more private life, but he made a very deliberate choice to lead by example.
I’m very grateful for him sharing his insight with us, so we can further appreciate what Robin’s legacy really means to us.
“Don’t mourn Robin. Don’t grieve Robin.”
“Be Robin for someone else.”
Please.
Please do NOT fundraise using Robin’s name. Apparently, it MAY create problems for his estate with the IRS. The goal is to watch people more, to help them do something they can’t do for themselves or to help them feel less lonely. Direct involvement and being of service in another person’s life is what this is about!
About the project: Instead of “liking” Robin and all that he stood for, you are being invited to be Robin for someone else. Let’s echo an immense legacy and fill the world with MORE love.
Let’s rise to the occasion and show that all the love Robin has given to us mattered in imagining and creating a better world for us all.
