Athletes to the Rescue

One of our grandsons and his best friend played in the band and on the freshman football team this fall. Football players eat in the cafeteria with special education students. Last week, one of the special education students got angry and turned over a wheel chair with a young 9th grader in it. Our grandson and his friend ran to...

Highway Kindness

I was driving to my morning class when I noticed someone who also looked like a student parked on the side of the road with his caution lights on. I parked behind him and walked up to ask what was wrong with the car. I realized his vehicle had a flat tire, and he told me didn't have a spare tire. As...

Signing Yearbooks

It was close to the end of the school year when they passed out yearbooks. My sister and I were letting everyone sign ours.

Recently while going through a McDonalds drive thru the kind woman in front of me paid my bill. It was truly random and I had no opportunity to thank her in person as she drove away. It was a wonderful feeling. Thank you!

My grandma

My Grandma and I were walking around her neighborhood and we saw a stand that says can you please donate so we can help our friend who has cancer and so we gave them 20$

Keep on Giving

For this Christmas, I gave my very best friend a jar with notes for them. They loved it so much they said they almost cried. They are the nicest person I know and I wanted to return the favor.

Transporting Kindness

Tonight my daughter and I went to Kroger and saw a lady who looked very cold. When we came back out of the store, she was still there. As we talked, she explained that she had been standing out in the cold trying to get back home. I gave her a ride to the bus station and paid for her to...
