. A few weeks ago we had a young lad come to our door. We are one of a few houses close to where his car was flashing the oil light. He asked if he could borrow some oil. We gave him what we had, which was probably only enough to get him to the…
. The other day I went to a Walmart that I usually don’t go to any more since I moved. As I walked up to the cash register, the lady said the usual hello and how are you. She looked slightly surprised when I answered, “Enjoying life. How are you?” She muttered fine. As she…
. The week before Christmas 2013, I shopped at a discount grocery store. While standing in line, I made small talk with the elderly woman in front. She shared how excited she was that her family was going to visit her and how fortunate she was that her Christmas bonus would be able to cover…
. I came out of the supermarket to find a piece of paper under my windscreen wiper. It was a note which said that the writer had found a wallet and had handed it in at the front counter of the supermarket. It explained that it was found in the parking bay near my car, so…
. I live in Oklahoma. The winters here can be brutal for the homeless living outside due to the high winds and frequent ice storms. About a week ago I noticed a man at our local Walmart with a sign that says “homeless please help”. I bought him a sandwich, chips, cookies, and a bottle…
My wife made me some cookies (very good ones btw). A student came to my office and asked if he could have one. He came back the next day for another one. The following day he dropped off this chocolate cake and this card. ‘Thanks for the cookies. Here’s something back. Make someone else’s day better’….
Don’t give up, cuz tomorrow could be the best day of your life. This ‘graffiti’ was reported to me in the girls bathroom at the end of last year. Some graffiti is better than others. – Andrew, Principal George Waters Middle School. 😛
. I had a man come up to me in a Walmart parking lot. He asked if he could do some work for me. Said he would do anything. He, his wife and 7 year old son were going to be evicted from their $40/day motel room if he didn’t have $80 to pay for…
My twin sons when 16/17 wore their hair in long pony tails and had a wardrobe full of various bands’ black T-shirts that they accessorized with jeans and leather jackets.
I found this anonymous note on a student’s locker recently. I still don’t know who wrote it. It says ‘Hi! I hope you’re having a good day! And if you’re not, I’m sorry. Either way, here’s a kitten – From someone who thinks you are awesome!’ – Andrew, Principal at George Waters Middle School 😛
. Tonight I was the recipient of kindness. I went to Emergency with a severe gallstone attack and was placed in a chair (no beds) next to an older lady, who was having problems post-op (for cancer). Whilst there, I passed out from the pain, it was an odd feeling as I was fully aware of…
. I am often moved to help homeless people I encounter. I’ll tell you about the most recent time. I drove into the parking lot at a supermarket and saw an older gentleman sitting on a curb. Next to him was a shopping cart which contained everything he owned. It was a cold, drizzly day…
