My Hotel Housekeeping Guy Made Me Realize How Much The Smallest Acts Of Kindness Can Mean

By A Friend on October 14, 2026 / 96 views

I am currently living in a hotel away from home, and there is this housekeeping guy who cleans my room almost every day. He barely speaks English, so we can barely communicate, but man, he is genuinely one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Every time he cleans my room, I can tell he puts his heart into it. He always tries his absolute best to make me comfortable, and I genuinely...

Complimented An Elderly Woman On Her Birthday

By A Friend on October 13, 2026 / 333 views

It was just such a wholesome and sweet moment and I wanted to share it. I was at a grocery store with my partner and we saw her across the way. She was in a very cute blue and purple outfit, and overall dress with a patterned top underneath, she just looked so adorable! I said something to my partner and we kept walking. We ended up running into her and I complimented her dress...

Home Again

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 12, 2026 / 334 views

I hope this new story of mine reminds you of the special home you carry in your heart. God bless you always. When I was a boy we lived in my Nana’s 75 year old house on a little hill above a river that was crossed by a swinging bridge. On the hill above us lived an older couple in a white house. Then when I was 11 years old a fire in the night burned down our home. Thankfully we all...

“You Didn’t Deserve Any Of That, Sweetheart”

By A Friend on October 10, 2026 / 592 views

Work was absolutely whooping my butt for 10 hours straight, I was running on 5 hours of sleep, a close loved one had died, my girlfriend broke up with me and I was stuck in extremely long, dead stopped traffic. I was barely keeping it together. The tears were just forming in my eyes and then I had a guy end up road raging at me, screaming at me and insulting me over nothing. I...

After 18 Months Homeless, My Cat And I Finally Have A Place To Call Home

By ThreeDaysNish on October 09, 2026 / 961 views

After being homeless for a year and a half, my cat and me are sleeping in our new apartment tonight. Balou (11) is my baby, I adopted him when he was 5. When I became homeless I had to give him up or I wasn't allowed into shelters. So I chose him. It was a rough year, he got cancer along the way and had to have his tail amputated, and I've been struggling...

Kindness That Made Me Cry

By A Friend on October 08, 2026 / 1,124 views

I was buying a meal at a self-service place I've always gone to every morning at my campus since the last semester. First I grabbed a plate, then put rice on it, then I went to the food basin where they put soy sauce egg (I eat rice with egg and soy sauce every morning). I was looking at the eggs thinking which egg to take (picky behavior, I know) and I didn't realize my rice was...

My Neighbor Fixed My Bike!

By A Friend on October 07, 2026 / 584 views

I am not OK driving a car and I had this old bicycle for a long time, but I was afraid to get it fixed or ask anybody for help. My neighbor is a handy old retired guy and he said he would get it going for me and it as good as new and he said I might owe $10 for all he had to do. This seems really nice and I thought maybe you would enjoy hearing that somebody was just really nice to...

My Dad Bought My Handbag And Purse From Me

By A Friend on October 06, 2026 / 1,264 views

To make a long story short, a while ago, I bought a beautiful handbag and a beautiful purse. They are no longer produced by the company who made them. I still have the authentic labels attached. I am 24 and in dire straits financially. I told my father that I’d be selling the bag and purse (which I love so much), because they’re in pristine condition, have the authentic labels attached,...

The Stuff

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 05, 2026 / 732 views

I hope my new story reminds you of how little you actually need to be happy in this life. God bless you always. It was a few years ago. I was trying to get something out of my closet but couldn’t do it. There was just too much Stuff in it. You know the stuff I am talking about. The stuff that sneaks in when you aren’t looking. The stuff you have no memory of buying. The stuff...

The Neighborhood Cat Came To Visit Me The Day After My Cat Passed Away

By Kinzygrace on October 03, 2026 / 1,624 views

The neighborhood cat came to visit me the day after my cat passed away- I like to think it was a sign from my cat saying that she’s okay. So yesterday morning after I finished feeding the cats, I looked up after putting the dishes in the sink and saw this cat standing outside just sitting there and staring at the window. I went out and as soon as it saw me, it ran up to me and was...

By A Friend on October 02, 2026 / 1,666 views

I live on a busy road. Sunday during the Bills football game, a truck ended up on its side against our front tree, about 15 feet from our house. My husband heard and almost saw the whole thing. We rushed into action, helped the 2 teenagers with sitting them down, water bottles, paper towels, and phones to call their parents. The first responders arrived very quickly....

My brother-in-law and his young sons were running seriously late this morning after a wrong turn ✈️ and they ended up on foot along the road trying to make up time. A good Samaritan pulled over after seeing them run with bags in hand and offered them a ride at 5 a.m. this morning to get to the correct terminal and because of that they made it with just minutes to spare to get back...

What Working At A Food Bank Taught Me

By Michael on September 30, 2026 / 2,011 views

When I started working at the food bank here in Port Townsend, Washington, last April, one of the things I worried about was how to say "no" to people who would ask for more food than we could give them. It's not that I assumed people would be greedy. I just figured that people coming to a food bank were clearly in need, and given that, along with the cutbacks in federal...

I Gave My Extra Food To A Homeless Man This Morning, Then A Stranger On My Flight Unexpectedly Gave Me $60

By A Friend on September 29, 2026 / 2,027 views

Today has been such a weirdly wholesome day. I was at the courthouse this morning to be a witness for my sister’s marriage. I had a cooler/bag with extra food that I wasn’t going to be able to take with me, and there was a homeless man sleeping outside the courthouse. Rather than throw the food away, I went over and left it for him without waking him up. As I was walking up...

By A Friend on September 28, 2026 / 2,173 views

I'm a business owner, and there's a 2-year-old kid at my warehouse who runs out to hug me every day. I think he's one of my favorite people in the world. One of my female employees has a 2-year-old son, and we all play with him a lot at the warehouse. I usually arrive later than everyone else, and somehow, this little dude has figured out my routine. Every time I...

Thank You To The Stranger Who Gave Me A Hug On The Victoria Line Today

By A Friend on September 26, 2026 / 2,215 views

I've been job hunting for months now. Today I found out that a job I thought I'd get fell through. On top of that, I did a trial shift for a few hours at a café last week, but they turned me down and refused to pay for the trial afterwards. All that pressure just built up, and on the train it hit me all at once. I was trying to hide my face and let the tears fall quietly, hoping it...

May I Please Have Some Water For My Baby's Formula?

By A Friend on September 25, 2026 / 776 views

This happened about 40 years ago. My wife and I were taking our 3+month old infant son from SE PA to Rochester, NY to see his grandparents. We had packed plenty of diapers, bottles, formula, and we thought, water for the 6 hour ride which was at night. So we're traveling Rt 15 which is direct to Rochester. But 40 years ago it was all 2 lane highway, not the still unfinished in one location 4...
