Bryan Tsiliacos was nervous about turning 30 in 2023. One day he decided to write down all the things he was grateful for in his life.

"And at that moment, I realized that every wonderful thing that has happened to me was thanks to the support and generosity of others," he said.

Thus, "30 Acts of Kindness by 30" was born.

For his first act, Bryan made more than 400 desserts for firefighters.

For his second act, he donated 150 supply kits for middle schools in Oakland. Around $12,000 of supplies were donated by 18 sponsors from across the country.

For his third act, Bryan packaged 118 care boxes and hand-delivered them to local animal shelter workers.

Each box had healthy snacks, essential oils, vitamins and much more to support their mental and physical health.

"Just seeing their reactions is the reason why I'm doing this," he said. "And the goal here is to put a smile on their faces and inspire others to give back in their own way."

Bryan has been documenting his acts of kindness on social media. He hopes that others will see them and be inspired to give back as well.
