A Small, White Dog Turned Up At Our Front Door Shaking

By Peta on April 10, 2023 / 3,000 views

A fair few weeks ago a storm came through our neighbourhood. A small, white dog turned up at our front door shaking, wet and muddy. Poor little thing was terrified. We let him in to be comforted by our two little dogs while I tried to contact the owner. After a while I got hold of her. She had been so worried and was so thankful that we'd kept Jack safe. Today, Easter Sunday, this...

I was at the shops tonight and a gentleman was trying to buy groceries, really simple stuff, milk, bread, butter etc. his card declined, apparently it had done so before I lined up and the operator was getting frustrated and he was so upset. I reached over and tapped my card and the relief on this guys face was everything. He asked what he could do and I said to have a happy Easter and...

Her Gratitude Was More Than Enough Payment

By Rachael on April 07, 2023 / 2,642 views

In the supermarket the other day and the woman next to me quietly told the cashier she only had $60 so could she stop there. This lady had cheese, bread, toilet paper, milk, cereal and frozen veggies she'd have needed to put back. I'd already gone through my checkout but hovered a bit so I could pay the remaining amount for her. She teared up and said she'd been having a super tough time...

Hubby and I were out eating lunch yesterday when a lady came in known by all at the cafe and was talking loudly to her daughter on the phone. I said to my hubby she reminds me of mum (who passed 18 months ago). Mum was hard of hearing so she'd talk loudly well that made me smile. Mum used to also known at her local cafe and was always chatting. Unbeknownst to me as we were leaving my...

TANG

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 04, 2023 / 2,012 views

My daughter is such a beautiful, loving, giving soul. Everyday she comes over to my house to help me take care of her two mentally handicapped brothers. I don’t know what I would have done without her all of these years. Her love isn’t limited to just people, though. She has also rescued several dogs over the years and showered them with love and affection. Last year too she started to feed a...

Yesterday Mum And I Were Out Shopping When We Decided To Stop For Lunch

By Annette on April 03, 2023 / 2,603 views

Yesterday mum and I were out shopping when we decided to stop for lunch. Mum struggled to open the store door due to having her walker. Due to the angle of the path I couldn’t help with a very full trolley. Inside was a young boy (who appeared to aged 10 at the most). He jumped up and held the door open for us both. I’m not sure if he was there with his mum or grandmother but we both...

To This Day Her Kindness Brings Tears To My Eyes

By Melinda on April 03, 2023 / 2,978 views

It was from more than 15 years ago and I feel like I’d always been too embarrassed to thank her properly. I hope to share this so that there’ll be more compassion in the office. I was the “idiot” in the office and my manager was exasperated at my inability. I watched discretely from the corner as my manager complained to the CFO about how I wasn’t teachable, and that I was...

By Tina on March 31, 2023 / 2,695 views

Kathleen posted on our community page stating she has some Cadbury Saltanas & Peanut Chocolates she’d like to pay forward for Easter and that her and her daughter would pick out 4 people at the end of the day. With having 4 sons of my own, I asked if I may please be considered. Money’s tough atm. I was one of the lucky ones chosen out of many many people. I was excited,...

I Am In Absolute Shock

By Angelina on March 31, 2023 / 2,823 views

I am in absolute shock. This afternoon I was doing my weekly shop at ALDIs. I was loading my groceries, getting ready to pay. I was using my partners card to pay, not thinking I was going to run into any issues. It was time to pay and the cashier said "enter pin" I froze. I didn’t know my partners pin and he didn’t know either. I placed my groceries to the side, in a...

Don't Worry About It

By A Friend on March 29, 2023 / 2,756 views

This weekend I noticed our 24 year old cat had a nasty looking ingrown claw. I’m currently living with my parents and my mum decided to take her to the emergency vet (1pm on a Saturday the regular one was closed). I stayed home looking after my 1 year old, fully expecting mum to come home minus the cat, at 24 I thought she might have complications with a normally minor thing. Anyway, mum...

The Sweetest Apples Ever

By Micheala on March 29, 2023 / 2,961 views

I ran to help a small woman today as her full shopping trolley nearly upended as she negotiated it down a curb. When she had righted herself, I smiled at her then pointed to the nearby ramp saying that might be a better option next time. As I was walking away, she called out for me to come back to her. She was going through her bag. I shook my head and waved at her saying it wasn’t...

By A Friend on March 24, 2023 / 2,876 views

I am shouting out to the incredible young man at the hospital carpark I was almost stuck in today. I have just spent 4 days in hospital with a scare for me and my unborn child and whilst trying to pay for parking my card refused to work. The attendant came up and tried to help and before I could stress about anything else he gave me a ticket to get out and said "looks like you've...

Friends Are Just Strangers We Have Met To Meet.

By Maree on March 24, 2023 / 1,825 views

Last week, I accepted an invite to travel with my two workaways to an outing I send all workaways on, some young lads we didnt know joined us. As Bents was closed they happened on this amazing place. I was content to sit under a shaded tree in a water hole, as I had already sprained my ankle, at the start of the walk, but I longed to climb through the hole and swim in the river. With...

I went to a garage sale today just around the corner from where I live. I wanted to purchase a kitchen table and chairs. I had no way of getting the table home so I was feeling a bit frustrated. So I approached a stranger I never met before and he drove to where the table was and took the whole lot to my place and even helped take it inside for me. He didn't want any...

People Are Amazing

I work in a chain pizza place and I had this one guy pull up to the window to pick up his order he asks me how our tips work and I explained that I can keep cash to myself but we normally split card tips. I gave him his order and didn’t take a tip and told him it was ok and to have a good night. Later before I’m about to leave my manager walks up to me and says there’s...
