My story is not about a RAK I've done, but one than is given to my husband and I (twice a week every week). My 96 year old neighbor always takes in our trash can(s). She always tells us that we do so much for her ....  and that this is her way of showing her appreciation towards us. We try to tell her that she doesn't have to do this but honestly it's like talking to a brick wall (as they say). We love her she is an awesome neighbor!!

I gave a homeless lady a ride to a shelter. Then I helped with her luggage and gave her the only money I had: $20. What she didn't know...I was also homeless. Everyone can be kind, regardless of your circumstances in life!

Yesterday night, one of my friends was talking to me about how her hockey pads were giving her back problems and causing knots in her back. She said she had been unable to sleep because of the pain she was dealing with. Today, when I went over to hang out for a bit, I gave her a proper back massage and worked out the knots as best I could. After I left, she took a nap for an hour. She said it was the best she'd slept in more than a week. The smile on her face made my week.

My boyfriend and I were sharing a lovely Saturday together, just strolling around the city, seeing where the day took us. After having a nice lunch, playing some pool and darts we headed out to find our next adventure. We walked past a theatre and it looked as though a performance was about to start. We went inside and asked the box office the cost of the tickets and they were $70 a piece. We could definitely not afford it. On our way out a woman followed us and stopped us and said that her daughter was sick and couldn't go and that the box office couldn't do anything for her tickets and she wanted us to have her tickets and enjoy our night. It was hard to accept such a nice act, but after some back and forth, we thanked her and we had such a wonderful evening. What a wonderful act of kindness!

This was the first year to celebrate RAK at my place of employment. We celebrated each day by serving our co-workers. One morning, a team of co-workers gathered in the kitchen and made free pancakes. We fired up the griddle and the smell radiated throughout the building. It was a huge hit and an inexpensive way to spread kindness!

I recently saw a poster where a local animal shelter started a program where a volunteer can take a shelter dog for a walk. I thought what a great idea for so many reasons. It can help with adoptions as some volunteers may bond with a dog and adopt them. It is also a way for those who are not able to take care of a pet full time to help out with the shelters!

I am a warehouse worker. I am often surprised by how hard people work. I recently received a lot of money. I like to keep that confidential so I have been anonymously leaving gift cards with the supervisor for hard working employees. With a note saying thanks for your hard work!

My friend and I really wanted to do something nice for people so we got post-it notes, wrote quotes on them and drove around the city putting them on windshields of cars! People's reactions were priceless. Something so easy to do, and something that makes you feel so great about yourself!

Today I tried to find word “Kindness” using Google. I did not want to make a mistake with the spelling of the word “kindness” in my note to the two very nice people who sent me a cake for my birthday. Google pointed to this site and here I am, sharing my story! The two nice people are British, and me and my family are foreigners here, East Europeans. I've never really cared for my birthday, after all I am 45 years old, and it is not important to me anymore. Actually, it never was.  I have been completely caught off guard by their kindness, and did not know how to react. However, it has had a BIG impact on me, finally I admit it. I admitted that I have had to touch up the tears (secretly off course, not to be seen by my family). I cried as I could be better as a father, as a husband, as a son...I needed one act of kindness to understand that. I have been blind and now I can see... Alex

Last week I randomly purchased cupcakes for all of my coworkers to show my appreciation for all their hardwork lately. Everyone seemed to be stressed out, and I just wanted their day to be a little bit brighter!
