There is a homeless man in our community. His back story is that he is bipolar, no job, home, insurance or means to get the medication he needs. Since we cannot provide him with everything he lacks, we regularly buy him food, snacks, water, etc.
A while back, I fell on my walk to work. The woman that I wave at every day but don’t know came running over and called 911, much to my dismay. According to a couple of others who also stopped, it looked like I may have dislocated my elbow.
I had a heart issue and no health insurance, a man in Tampa paid my bill for me. – Scott 👍 Awesome feeling today when I went to Asda (Walmart supermarket) and met a lady in a wheelchair scooter with her son. I took out half an hour to say hello and listen to their stories…
When I shopping one day, the person helping me was clearly in a foul mood. Considering I hate clothes shopping, it was a precarious situation. I took a deep breath, smiled, and told her she seemed tired, was everything ok? She poured out her heart about how she was working two jobs and going to…
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…

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…
When I was working the evening shift (I work as a cashier) there was couple who immediately apologised when it was their turn to place their items on the conveyor belt. The man said, “sorry, but you’re going to have to work a bit extra because we’re going to pay some with a debit card and…
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’m resident of small town and member of a middle-class income group. Two fellow residents fought over the construction of the common wall. 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…
