A very kind person this afternoon paid for my daughter's sleep over snacks after she discovered she'd lost her card somewhere in the park today. Having a slight panic attack she was going to put everything back until a beautiful man stepped up and said he'd pay for it! So thank you whoever you are kind...

My doggo Gemma has days left, her kidneys are failed. So we're doing her favourite things like doing to parks, local shops to sniff things. But we are extremely slow. A lady stopped by and said "aww so sweet. How old?" I said we don't know, she's a rescue, but possibly 16, she only has a few days. The lady told me her dog is being put down this next week. Then she...

A worker from Bunnings at Rothwell accompanying an older lady to her car. They were having a lovely conversation and he didn't seem to mind that it took her a bit longer. Well done to this young man for his kindness and compassion, he should be very proud of the person that he is. I would also like to say to Bunnings Warehouse Australia that this staff member's is a superstar and...

My little man is almost 7. He’s going through a growth spurt. Hungry ALL the time. Yesterday while at school. He finished his entire lunch box and was still hungry. His teacher went to the staff room and made him a toasted sandwich. Talk about above and beyond. Thank you to all of the amazing teachers out there and in particular Mr. S. PS. I packed an extra sandwich this...

I was sitting on a long, black, folding medical table. Beside me was a woman in scrubs talking about the cold change the weather had taken recently. A radio in the corner was playing Christmas music even though it was still weeks away. I took a sip from the bottle of lemonade I had brought with me so I wouldn’t get dizzy. I looked around at all the other people laying back on their medical tables too....

I was out shopping with my kiddos doing my best to budget the last of my paycheck. We stopped at a juice bar after going thrifting and I saw a lady with a little dog sitting on the bumper of a car with a sign that she was homeless and needed help. I had a few bucks I could spare and a couple bottles of water in my car and happily asked if she needed the water and handed her the bottles and the money. Turns out...

Thank you to whoever left this little rock at a swimming pool in my area! My little one thought it was so amazing! Her imagination was running wild coming up with how it got there. Apparently it must have been the Easter bunny that left it waiting to be adopted by someone to care for it...

By Susanne on November 26, 2022 / 2,012 views

I'd like to share an act of kindness that set me on a path to healing. A few years ago, I lost my youngest son in a car accident. An unexpected tragedy had been bestowed on my family. Those early days were tough. As you could imagine. But then maybe you can't! I called on my faith. In God, a God, or a spiritual belief that would lead to a larger meaning to my sons life and death....

When I was a teenager our church sent a group of us teens on a religious retreat. There were lots of teens from other areas there as well. Over several days we had discussion groups, hikes, outings, lessons from the Bible and other writings, and a bunch of other activities all designed to help us learn and grow spiritually. The funny thing is that as well intentioned as all of these things were, over the years...

I am not venturing out to the shops at the moment (taxis are really hard to get) so I did a Delivery Now order with my local supermarket and it was due to be delivered within 60 - 90 minutes. I left a few "shopper notes" regarding substitutions and also one saying "thank you for working so hard to fill all the orders". My order was delivered earlier than the timeframe stated and...

My son and I were in a shopping centre today and we had a young guy from Tommy Gun's barber shop come up to us and offer us free haircuts. My son needed one and so we went into the shop and he offered me a free drink as well.

Had a laughing bit of kindness today. I wanted to buy one of those rubber tips (?) that you put on your finger when you have to flick through a lot of papers. I tried the newsagency but no luck so tried the discount shop. There was a new Indian lady on the check out and as I am not easy to understand we were going round in laughing circles. I tried using one word ie thimble and miming...

Want to thank our local Bakery. Ducked in last night to purchase some goods and I pulled out my card to pay, not knowing it was a cash only shop. The owner was kind enough to offer it for free and said next time, waving his hands away, I said oh I can duck across the road to the bank and there was another customer behind me who insisted i take it. I said thankyou so much, I...

I was feeling emotionally drained ( long story) then a gorgeous young girl (with issues of her own) dropped me in a bottle of wine as a thank-you for an extremely small thing I had done for her. It changed my mindset, restored my faith in the world. Keep spreading the kindness, sometimes you will never know what a difference it...
