NORTH PORT — Summer Manda, co-founder of Positive Bounds, owes her inspiration for creation of the organization to the kindness of one stranger.
“My mom was a single mom, and someone paid for me to take dance lessons,” Manda said. “I took ballet, tap and jazz, and it’s still something I enjoy today. I even teach ballet. And it’s because of the kindness of that one person I got exposed to that.”
