When Rebekah was exposed to bullying at Costa Mesa Middle School, her mom, Cristina, would lend a sympathetic ear. (Kevin Chang / Staff Photographer)A 16-year-old finishing up her sophomore year at Costa Mesa High School, Rebekah has gained many fans. Let’s Be Kind has grown into a nonprofit organization, which teamed up with Buenas Coffee in Costa Mesa on Friday to do more good works for the community. Buenas Coffee opened its doors to the group, allowing Rebekah and her mom to distribute “Let’s Be Kind” T-shirts to seniors graduating from Costa Mesa High and eighth-graders being promoted from Costa Mesa Middle School. Doan Do, 43, a Costa Mesa resident, wanted to help bring the “Let’s Be Kind” movement to Kaiser Elementary School and several other schools.
