Sometimes I find my RAK are met with disbelief or judgment, and sometimes outright shock at the thought that someone is going out of their way to help someone. A few months ago I was in a large retail store, it sell everything under the sun. One side of the building is a food market,…
I am one of your Ripple followers in Australia and I love what you guys are doing. My friends and I do what we can to be kind or lend a hand to those in need. I invited my 91 year old neighbour Bettye over for lunch on Christmas Eve. She lives two doors down…
I mailed a $25 restaurant gift card to a long time friend and single mom who recently got out of jail and is looking for a job in another state. I am going to send her a card once a week with a small gift instead of eating out and splurging on something when she…
This past Christmas, I sent a bunch of Christmas cards to a nursing home I used to work at many years ago. I enclosed a note saying to give to the residence there that are lonely and needed some cheering up. I received a thank you card a week later saying the cards were much…
Last summer we had a friend who needed repairs to her van and couldn’t afford to pay for them. She is a young mother of four children and her husband is in jail. Her parents are living with her and her mom is dying from chronic COPD. We arranged for a man we go to…
My two co-workers and I got together at work and formed a secret group called Making Monday’s fabulous. In the summer we choose a different person each Monday or department and make their Monday fabulous by surprising them with gifts, positive comments, letting them know they make a difference in the work place. We continued…
I have felt a bit funny doing a random act of kindness and then telling people on facebook what I did but I wanted to share my most recent RAK. In a cafe with my healthy kids having lunch and a worn out looking lady with a child in a wheelchair came in and sat…
As a teacher at Tec Voc High School in Winnipeg, I have been fortunate to see this each and every year, but am overwhelmed by it this year. The staff and students at Tec Voc choose to support students and their families who are in need at this time of year.
At the Belizze airport, I paid for coffee for the gal behind me and told her it’s my Random Act of Kindness. I then suggested she do something nice the next day, and she said she would. Yay!! – Barbara My boyfriend paid for the person behind him at Starbucks today. I’m so proud. –…
I was given a free cup of tea by one younger member of staff at the coffee shop that I always go to – Pattisons – St Ives Sydney. Unfortunately my cash flow is very limited at present and I was so pleasantly surprised by this young boy’s awareness. A true act of kindness! –…
Every time I went through the Gateway toll I used to pay for the car behind me. I was so disappointed when they took the toll booths out and now you have a little gadget thing in your car instead. I used to look in the rear view mirror to try to see the look…
When I was 21, I had a car and a job, but nowhere to live, so my boyfriend and I lived in my car. We would drive into a camp ground at night after collection hours and shower, then be out early in the morning before the rangers came through. That was the only reason I…
