Back in June my fiance and I were stuck in Puerto Rico during a layover because of a broken part on the plane and the agents kept telling us it wouldn’t be much longer although it ended up taking almost 7 hours after our departure time to finally leave. So I sparked up conversation with a woman that was traveling with her 2 young children and was playing with them once they warmed up to me. Once they finally announced that we were going to board the plane we had to switch to the next gate over so my fiance and I helped her with the kids. When we were in line waiting to board the younger baby was hungry so the woman was feeding him with the other was getting cranky because she was tired so I picked her up and she fell asleep in my arms. I carried her to the seat and I felt good doing all of that because I know it helped her a lot and she didn’t even ask for help, I offered. She had to carry the luggage, stroller and a baby so the least I could do is help her with the other child.

Once, on vacation in California, I had a pass for a free whale watching trip. I gave it to my cab driver when he mentioned that he had lived in CA for years but never thought of doing that and it was something he would like to do.
When I go to the grocery store, I enjoy helping out where I can. Just the other day, I gave a woman my shopping cart and pulled out another one for myself. I retrieve items out of reach of fellow shoppers. If I notice a shopper in front of me in line has purchased an item I have a coupon for, I give him/her the coupon. I return carts that are left in parking spaces. Thanks for the giveaway.

We once had 3 tickets to a museum show … but only two of us could go. So, at the door, we spotted someone in line who looked like she was alone and offered it to her. Her smile of thanks made our day … I’ve often thought that we benefited more that day than she did.
I would like to give my mom a gift card for subway b/c she just lost her job and I would like to help her in any way I can.

At the grocery store today, there were two ladies trying to reach something on the top shelf, but they weren’t tall enough to reach. My toddler and I wandered over and I offered to get the item for them. They remarked on my height and thanked me repeatedly.

I was at Walmart and the guy in front of my was paying with a debit card and it wouldn’t go through. He did not have enough cash on hand. I told the cashier to just add his stuff to mine and I paid for his groceries. At first he said “no, I have the money”. I told him I was sure he did but that I was happy to do it and for him to have a nice day.

We give away items to friends and strangers that need them when we are upgrading our items, like vacuum cleaners, dishes, children’s clothing, children’s bedroom decor, etc. We enjoy helping those in need. We are currently fostering dogs and puppies, and I spend a few hours each Saturday volunteering my time with a local animal rescue to find dogs and cats new homes.

helped neighbor clean up her yard after a big storm
My co-worker’s car broke down so I gave her a ride home.
I like to do lots of RAKs, but I confess that sometimes I don’t notice the opportunity until later. In my neighborhood, I shovel walks, pick up garbage/knocked over cans when the critters get to it, take cookies and cards when someone has a life event, and giveaway some of my vegetables.

I was at the grocery store once and this girl infront of me and the cashier said there isnt enough here and before she could say anything i gave her my money so she could pay for it. Later that day ( i had know idea how she got my address)she came to my house and gave me a goodie gift basket but ofcourse i refused and said thank you but you need the money and basket more then i do then she explained that she just didnt bring enough and she was really rich. She said thank you for being kind to me but i could have went back home and get more money so here take the gift basket back for a thank you for how kind you are.
that is why im saying now its no so hard to be kind, and you might get rewarded by it.

We have adopted a couple that live about 5 miles up the road from us. They have become close friends and like granparents to the kids. Lynn is suffereing from Alzheimers now and Chauncy just got the flu that turned into pneumonia then he had two heart attacks and a stent put in. We ran food over to them a couple times and just checked on them and let them know how much they mean to us. The kids all loved on them and it really meant a lot to them. I wish I could do more. I would like to start up an organization that takes totes full of items to people in the hospital but haven’t decided on what group of people to center on helping or how to begin this process.
I donate food.
