Random acts of kindness - What have you done lately?

Befriended someone on here and gave her some very personal information about myself and my experiences, which is actually helping her through a tough situation. Made a really good friend out of it.

Thanks Chief.

I give blood every three months and actively involved with special needs children.

Gave money for lunch to a homeless guy near my house

Gave up my place in the queue to a woman at the supermarket.

Hardly Mother Theresa level, but it still felt good.

gave a college student gas money and a bag of dog food for his pet, which can be expensive.

i bought extra donut holes for a friend.

cooked lunch for an elderly lady.

Befriended a lonely older woman whose children abandoned her. Poor thing was very under appreciated, but I think she's kind, funny and creative

I try to befriends kids at my work (elementary school) that are being bullied, that don't have nice clothes, etc... One boy that I befriended had been bullied for a couple of years because he smelled bad. The smell he had been bullied for was from his moms cigarette smoke.

i adopt a child from the angel tree every year for Christmas- i never get them just one thing.. i always go overboard, but its fun seeing their faces light up.. some i have met.

i give a couple dollars to a man that stands on the corner

i donate my gently used clothes to shelters.. they will be getting more soon

i hold open doors for people when i see them coming even if they are not even close to the door.

i make a habit of smiling and saying hello.. paying compliments- never know when that smile may change someone having a bad day.

gave a guy ten dollars for gas.

i let people that have less than me go in front of me in line at the grocery store.

i have given change when people were short in front of me for groceries.


i was raised to help where you can.. when i was young we went to nursing homes with baked goods and sang christmas carols to those that were alone.. my parents instilled in me to be kind.

After I paid, I knew I didn't have enough left over to by the things I had come there for- but I felt pretty good about helping. Except for when, after browsing the store for a while, I saw him using the same story on someone else as I was walking out. I felt pretty used after that :frown:

That is just awful. That was a very nice thing you tried to do though.

I fall for the same stories over and over again by panhandlers only to see them walk a little ways and say the same thing to their next mark.

It makes me laugh at my own naivete and grateful that I am not poor enough to miss the money. Besides, just because they lie doesn't mean they aren't poor.

I made sandwiches for homeless people and brought them in some clean dry socks and fleeces to keep warm plus the sandwiches they were so greatful its upsetting to see it really as there are loads of homeless in Ireland.
