Pay it forward in Boston

How a Pass It Around card works in Boston

Someone in Boston does something kind for a stranger and leaves a numbered Pass It Around card behind. The person who receives it visits this website, enters the card number, sees everywhere the card has been and adds their own story. Then they pay it forward, and the card moves on to its next stop, in Boston or anywhere else.
