82-year-old Grandad Struggling With Dementia Drew This

By A Friend on October 16, 2026 / 341 views

I saw it in his room along with two other drawings, also of another fish and a bird. He’s fished all of his life and can’t really do it anymore due to his inabilities from aging. He never was an artist and nobody knew he had talent like this and he was so chill about, I’m so amazed and impressed. It’s not even because of his age or the dementia it’s just so...

A Stranger Did Me A Small Kindness Years Ago, And It Has Stayed With Me Ever Since

By A Friend on October 15, 2026 / 550 views

About 6 years ago, I was a student at a college, and I was at the bus stop late at night. My phone was dead, I had no money, and the last bus had already left. A man who was waiting for the bus as well, saw that I was upset, and he offered to pay for the auto that would take me home. He told the driver to make sure I got inside the car safely. The man paid and left, not wanting a tip from...

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

By A Friend on October 14, 2026 / 645 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 / 744 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 / 517 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 / 747 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 / 1,329 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 / 1,506 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 / 677 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 / 1,565 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 / 811 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 / 1,918 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 / 1,951 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 / 2,295 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 / 2,322 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...

There's A 2-year-old Kid At My Warehouse Who Runs Out To Hug Me Every Day

By A Friend on September 28, 2026 / 2,456 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...
