You often talk about the positive influences of teachers on Ripple Kindness, and I couldn’t agree more, and I want to share how a teacher has helped me. I’m a student and I was struggling recently with an issue that I didn’t feel comfortable sharing with my family. I have a teacher who is a very…
So I work at an autopart store and today I had the most amazing thing happen. So this old lady comes in and I greet her and ask if she needs any help. Well her car battery turned out to be bad and she needed a new one. So I looked it up and it…
I went into the local Lifeline shop yesterday to get some clothes for my young children. I saw a man there with some children’s books under his arm and he was looking at some kitchen items. Most items in the shop are between $1-5. He kept returning to this one particular kitchen item and I…
My 8-year-old daughter and I were out to lunch this last Friday at Panda Express. We both had quite a bit of food and she wasn’t able to eat it all. I gave her a couple of options of either saving it for dinner, give it to her sister later or she could give to…
I had so much fun when I went to a Bazaar at a Senior housing community this past weekend. I bought a bunch of cute/nice stuff I really didn’t need just to see the smiles on the seniors faces and sparkle in their eyes. My plan is to donate what I won’t use. To me,…

I have two boys, 15 and 12, and I tell them every morning before they leave for school to Be THE ONE. Kind one, caring one, honest one, loyal one, the one who talks to the kids who may not have any friends, to hold doors open, to be compassionate and appreciative every day. We try…
Some children spend more of their time awake at school than they do in their own homes. That’s a big thing when you’re still growing and learning. It’s a big thing too for parents to entrust their precious ones to others, sometimes strangers, during these vital years. Especially as much of a child’s developing personality…
Most days on my way to work, I see this old black man walking his bike on the highway. Attached to the back is this child carrier (the ones you hook on to take your child for a ride). It looks as if he picks up thing off the road. He is never riding the…
