Kindness Starts With One^®

Today during the Special Olympics wheelchair race, Camron won the race in 11 seconds, which is an amazing time! After he won the race he realized one of his teammates was struggling to complete the race.  Camron came back and helped his teammate finish the race by pushing the boy's wheelchair one-handed and wheeling his own wheelchair with the other...

I started giving out free hugs about 4-5 years ago at a university, a park, and other locations. As time has gone by, many students and people have spoken appreciation for this simple act. They have told me that my hugs made a difference to them and helped them feel better. Some have even said that mine is the best hug they...

My husband and I ordered coffee from a local drive-thru. When we went to pay, the girl at the window told us our coffee had been paid for! When she realized we were puzzled, she told us that the car in front paid for our order as a random act of kindness. We were totally blown away and it truly made...

Antoinette is one of the most hardworking and compassionate women that I am privileged to know. She juggles various jobs as the manager of a drop-in center on a daily basis. Her personality is contagious and she is a breath of fresh air for anybody visiting the drop-in center. We appreciate her years of sacrifice, dedication, and love for Kingsway family.

I was spending some time with a friend on a day out and we went to the restroom. She went straight in and didn't see the sticky note on the mirror that said, "You are a beautiful blessing to the world," and simply signed with a heart. When she came out, I pointed it out to her and we both...

My best friend is like a sister to me. She has never given up on me, even when I make mistakes. She's the most amazing friend anyone could hope for. I'm really sad that she's switching schools for fifth grade. We probably won't go to school again together, but at least we can still go to each other's houses. What's...

My story of kindness may be small, but it is important to me. Can you imagine that you are alone? Your friends, teachers, colleagues and especially family have disappeared. I can’t.  Last weekend I came to understand again that my family is a very important thing in our lives. My uncle invited all our family for his birthday.  I was...
