My daughter lives in Vegas and sees so many homeless and even volunteered on Thanksgiving at the Rescue Mission and took them razors and deodorant, and canned goods. She has someone ask her every day for money and sometimes she gives away her last dollar, but it makes her feel good to help out, and I…
I worked in Orlando and during my lunch break I would walk. One day I met this homeless man who was a Vet and lost both of legs below the knee. Someone would give him a ride every day and he would sit in his wheelchair with an old white painter’s bucket with a few…
I was reading something this morning that reminded me of a random act of kindness that my daughter and her boyfriend were the recipients of this past summer. They were at a small town in Illinois doing a cheer camp when my daughter became ill. Her boyfriend decided to go to the local drug store to…
My brother holds a sign “will work for food”. He is not homeless but mentally ill and gets very little money to live on. The meds they give him causes many side effects, swollen tongue, constant leg movement and paranoia, so he quit taking it and drinks to make himself black out so as not to…
Last month my daughter Ocean, age 8, packed a special lunch for her younger sister Lulu, age 6. She had also packed a very heartfelt card and this letter. – Deanna ♥
My 18 year old daughter saw a lady struggling to hold her trolley and pack her groceries into the car, as the car park at our supermarket is on a slope. Before I could park the car she jumped out and went and held the trolley and helped her pack the car. By the time…

Since joining this group my mind has been working on ways to be kind to people. And I am finding that thoughts have been coming to my head that seem small, but end up being huge to others. For example, some friends gave me a gift certificate to the grocery store for Christmas. It was…
I work at a children’s gallery in a contemporary art museum and we love the Ripple Kindness Project! We try to encourage children to explore ways that they can use art to make a positive impact on the world around them.
The litter that I buy for my cats has a coupon on the box that you cut off. When you collect 12 of the coupons you send it into the company and they send you a coupon for a free box of litter which is about $10.00. More than a year ago along with the…
My daughter and I just brought noodles for dinner. On the way to the shop, we noticed a bloke asleep on a mattress, so we put in an extra meal order and took back a meal to this bloke. When we arrived there were 2 of them, so we shouted 2 young homeless men dinner!…
