FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) — Another buddy bench could pop up around the area soon after.
Two men with the goal of performing an act of kindness in every state made a stop in Fort Wayne on Friday. Yuri Williams, also known as the “Santalorian” and his helper Rodney Smith, Junior donated $250 to go towards a buddy bench. In return, Buddy Bench founder Sammie Vance donated 20 copies of her book “Inspire The World – A Kid’s Journey to Making a Difference.” The books will be passed out to children in hospitals in their remaining states.
