The kindest experience of my life
I lost control of a vehicle on an icy road coming home from a thanksgiving weekend at my brother’s family’s house.
Stories of Kindness
His only request was we pay it forward
When I had just had my first daughter we were doing it a little tough and my partner at the time played a lot of online computer games. He was in a “clan” and had met a few people from around Australia. One of them was an IT guy and had a pretty good wage…
She helped me take care of myself
This is the most incredible thing someone has done for me! I am always posting about kindness and helping others. I try to teach my son and we do things often to help him understand the importance of helping others.
The kindness she has left
I know a young lady in year 10 this year who wasn’t planning on going to the year 10 debutante ball. Instead, she was focused on her year 12 graduation as her parents were paying for it and she would not have to stress. At the start of this year, she noticed a friend of…
We’re almost out of dollars
For a while now I’ve tucked dollar bills into the sunglasses compartment in my truck. It makes it easy to grab one and hand it to our friends on the street corners.
She offered to wash my hair!
In the dark, scary hour that left me with a total-loss vehicle, numerous physical injuries and a broken spirit, my friend Margaret came to the rescue. Her superpower is compassion and caring. She lent my husband a vehicle so he could take the kids to the orchestra. She brought over dinner and reading material to…
My 3 and 5 year old helped save an orphanage
My girls and I heard about an organization close to our heart that was in need of funds to stay open. So together we decided we needed to help!
Kindness does make a difference
I’ve always said I may not be wealthy in financial terms, but I certainly am rich in friendships, and this story proves it. Three years ago, I was working for an entity that let me go suddenly and that did not pay into unemployment compensation. Despite the success I was having on the job, despite…
Kindness can change us to our very core
I’m a single foster mom and up until last week had 3 siblings in my home for a year. I don’t have any biological children, so having 3 at once, was a huge change for me. But the kindness shown to be my friends and others who I met over this last year has blown…
The day my life stopped
I’ve always been one to do kind things for others, not ever expecting anything in return. Almost two years ago, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. I had to go to the hospital immediately. I had so many plans in the upcoming months. I was a Girl Scout Leader, a Service Unit Manager (which…
She changed this young man’s life
My daughter is the manager of an apartment building and as such has to deal with lease violations that lead to eviction notices. It can be tense and was especially so with one young man who had some issues with drug abuse and anger management. The police had been called to his apartment a few…
The best thing I’ve ever done!
Before Christmas last year (2015), our family was in crisis after I lost my job a few months before. We could hardly afford to eat, so I posted on a community noticeboard simply asking where I could get food vouchers. We were inundated with offers of help, donations of food and some vouchers by the…
