What are indirect legacies?

A legacy is something you leave behind for someone else, like a present, but from one person to another after they're gone.

Imagine your favorite toy box, it's full of cool toys. Now, if you give that toy box directly to your little brother, that’s a direct legacy. But what if your mom gives the toy box to your brother instead? That means you didn’t hand it over yourself, your mom did. That’s an indirect legacy, because you still left something behind for your brother, but through someone else.

Think of it like a relay race. You're running, and when you get to the end, instead of passing the baton directly to your friend, you pass it to your teacher first, and then your teacher passes it to your friend. You still helped your friend win, but not in the way you expected. That’s kind of like an indirect legacy, you left something behind for someone else, even if they didn’t get it from you directly.
