. A policeman pulled us over on the way home from the food pantry. My boyfriend had just lost his job and our plates had expired. We pulled into the gas station to buy our kids a bottle of water to share and to eat their food pantry sandwiches with. We were hoping the officer…
. I was in a supermarket one day and saw a Mum trying to juggle her young baby and the trolley. It was winter so the seat was cold and the baby cried if she tried to put him in the seat.
. Earlier today my friend Jade and I went for a walk and we got tired so we sat down on the sidewalk. Then we decided to wave at people and make them wonder who we are for the rest of the day! After we started waving people started waving back at us so I…
. My young boys and I were shopping recently and noticed a scruffy fellow pacing the isles counting coins in his hands and picking up items and putting them back. He was in total despair.
. I used to work for a printing company and when I’d walk through the plant to my office, I’d greet the “ink” lady. She had bottles of different colored inks behind her on the shelf. I told her she was lucky because she got to work with a rainbow every day. One day during…

. I had my two boys with me yesterday while I did my grocery shopping. Our supermarkets are offering a Collector Cards promotion where you get 1 pack of card for every $20 you spend. My boys were given 30 packs of cards from my own purchases, plus 2 other ladies who didn’t want their…
. Meals on Wheels is an organization run here in Australia by administrators and volunteers. Volunteers cook the food and deliver it and I am one of the volunteers who deliver the food, either by using my car or taking the meal inside to the people. It is like stepping back in time, when you…
