One year at Christmas my husband and I dropped one of our cars off for service and headed out to shop. Earlier in the week I had contacted the local elementary school to see if there was a child in need. I was told about a little boy who didn’t even have socks to wear…
When I was a new young, single Mom, my son was always sick. They weren’t sure what was wrong with him but we were always at the doctors and getting medication. My work was limited because I was spending so much time with him at the doctors. Anyhow, one day I was at the pharmacy…
This teacher started a project to show his students that everyone can have a positive impact on someone else’s life. He wanted them to see first-hand how their kindness could bring some hope to someone going through something tough. As someone with a loved one who’s been through chemo for breast cancer, I know how…
Our elementary school serves approximately 800 students PreK-3rd grades. The week of February 11th, 2018 happened to be “Random Acts of Kindness Week” so I challenged the staff to a Kindness Challenge — I challenged them to complete these simple, kind acts that would make our students’ and colleagues’ days just a bit brighter!

The year after my mother died, I ran across a Mother’s Day card. With no mother to send it to, I decided to find a homeless person and give it to them, stamped. I couldn’t find anyone on that drive, so I gave it to the order taker a McDonald’s. She was so excited to be…
An old man I didn’t know left a message on my answering machine saying he needed an ambulance. He gave his first name and half an address, no last name, no return number.

Our assumption is that anyone shopping in Goodwill just before Christmas is in need. My sister and I went to Goodwill during the Holiday season and purchased gift certificates in $10 denominations. They still hand write them so we had time to share previously purchased gifts with the staff as we waited. Then we randomly…
A nice lady paid for our lunch. We were totally blown away. She said we were a beautiful family. So, the next day, I was getting tires put on my van and an older lady from out of state who was traveling alone had a flat tire. We picked up her tab and she was…
Today, my dance class went to lunch after class and when it was time to pay one lady in the group said her hubby was buying lunch for us. I actually cried. It was embarrassing but it just came out. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Reddit Facebook Messenger Email Share
So, I was in the $1 store buying some items to donate to the Puerto Rico relief drive that was accepting donations at the market I work at. There was a dad and his daughter (she was maybe 5 or 6) in the long line to the checkout. I guess he was having his visitation…
My friend and I met for lunch one day when we both had a day off together. We were chatting with the waitress and as I looked off I saw an old man sitting alone. He looked worn out, tired and sad. The waitress informed me that he and his wife used to come for…
