Driving a 1700 mile trip home from the final arrangements for someone who was very close to me, I was at a restaurant/gas station to fill up on gas and coffee to continue home. I received a phone call from home and I just broke down and cried like a twit because my heart was…
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…

One was a widow, her mother in law was also a widow, a very poor family with pathetic conditions. The second party was also not in a good financial position. None of…
As a 6th grade teacher, I feel the necessity to teach my students about kindness, compassion and empathy.
Today, as I drove to work there was a man. He was an older man looked a little rough around the edges. He was not holding a sign… just looked hungry. I ran to McDonalds and grabbed a sandwich combo as I figured I’d offer him a bite to eat. He was so happy and…
