By Blair on March 28, 2023 / 2,798 views

Today, I was out buying supplies to take to Rolling Fork. Four different people came up to me and asked, "are you taking all that to Rolling Fork?" My response was "yes ma’am I am." Two offered to meet me at my car to load their goods two offered me money. I said I will not take their money please buy things and meet me at my car. The best...

I Am Shouting Out To The Incredible Young Man At The Hospital Carpark

By A Friend on March 24, 2023 / 2,942 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 / 1,866 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 Am So Grateful, He Made My Day

By Glen on March 23, 2023 / 2,599 views

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

By A Friend on March 22, 2023 / 2,996 views

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...

If It's Been A While Since You've Seen An Elderly Loved One, Check In On Them And Give Them A Hug

By Michelle on March 20, 2023 / 2,762 views

Yesterday I was honoured to be chosen to provide some pampering to a remarkable and beautiful lady in her last days and dying from lung failure. She had been brought home from hospice and is surrounded by her loved ones. 87 years young, this woman has such fragile skin and requires her nails trimmed to avoid scratching and cutting her skin. She also wanted a little pop of colour to make her feel...

A Little Loving-Kindness

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 20, 2023 / 2,614 views

In the last months of his life my brothers and I moved our Dad from a crowded V.A. hospital several hours drive away to a local nursing home just a few miles from us. I spent as much time as I could visiting him there. Cancer had ravaged his body and was now eating away at his mind. I could tell that he only had a few months or weeks left to live. During one of those visits I walked into his room...

It Was The Kindest Gesture That I'd Never Expected

By Linda on March 17, 2023 / 2,943 views

My husband gave me a surprise gift for Christmas—a gift that, at the time, seemed odd. It was something I never would have chosen for myself and would never have expected him to give me. He gave me a little bird, a cute, colourful conure. She was bitey at first, but she quickly became the sweetest, snuggliest, most beautiful little creature, and she brightened up every day. I looked...

I Love The Power Of Facebook

By Sue on March 17, 2023 / 2,564 views

I love the power of Facebook. On Tuesday night I discovered I had lost my precious gold Pandora bracelet at the Rockingham foreshore that morning (despite it having a safety chain). Yesterday morning Lloyd and I went and searched where I had been and, as we had both expected, we couldn’t find it. I know there are a lot of good people in our world, and one of those may have found it, and not...

One morning I got up, sat at the bench close by to where I slept and people wpuld be walking by on their way to work, well this kind man approached me and sat by me. He spoke with me awhile about my situation then proceeded to offer me a coffee from the Cafe just around the corner, he bought me a coffee we had a cigarette...

I Am So Very Grateful For This Kindness

I'm going through chemo for breast cancer and had treatment this week. Got talking to the gentleman in the next chair, we talked about everything, footy, food, family, not being able to work, treatment,struggles we have faced during treatment etc. I mentioned we are going camping and I'd booked booked it. As since being diagnosed in November it's been a whirlwind of treatment...

Brutal Honesty From A Child

By T.J. on March 15, 2023 / 2,722 views

Aging is not the funnest thing in life, but some times it can be really funny! The other day my 4 year old grandson and I were in the kitchen talking, I was leaning one elbow on the counter and kind of facing him at an odd angle. I notice he was just staring at my neck with such a serious look on his face. I said "what?". He asked very seriously "where is your...

A Family Member Was Playing On Xbox Live

By A Friend on March 13, 2023 / 2,542 views

A family member was playing on Xbox live with some friends and some random player in the group that none knew was having mic problems. And it was really messing up the gameplay. The player was broke and couldn’t afford a new one so instead of just kicking this unknown kid, my family member asked them for their address and sent them a brand new headset. This was like 15 years ago and...

Jesus And Me

By Jack on March 10, 2023 / 2,816 views

I HAVE A TESTIMONY It’s been since 2012 that I was healed. For 5 ½ years before that, I limped, I had a cane, a walker, a brace on my lower left leg and had to sit on a pillow, because my tailbone hurt so much. My left leg had also atrophied down to skin and bones. I was taking 29 pills a day. The doctors thought I had MS because of the lesions in my brain, with cysts also in my brain....

Today I Experienced Kindness That Has Restored All My Faith In Humanity!

By Holly on March 10, 2023 / 2,129 views

Today I experienced kindness that has restored all my faith in humanity! Norton Summit in Adelaide, Australia is pitch black at 6am, and my front light died half way up while I was climbing. A fellow cyclist (who I didn’t know) let me ride behind him the whole time so I could see where I was going from his light. I then got a flat tyre coming down. I had to stop and the cyclist rode...

I Volunteer With Some Amazing People

By Gina on March 10, 2023 / 2,461 views

I volunteer with some amazing people. If I told you their acts of kindness it would be a book. However, yesterday my one friend told me she went to the dry cleaners and he told her he was behind and had 900 items to work alone. She said she paused but told him she would give him and hour it turned to 2 and a half. She never took money, she said she learned alot about...

Rainy Day Big Smiles

By Leann Freedom on March 08, 2023 / 2,664 views

We had some rainstorms recently in Southern California. It is a rare occurrence and when it does happen I can’t help to think about those who have no home to go to who have to stay all night and day out in the elements. I was out with my kids and they requested donuts from a local shop that we frequent. Often times there are hungry folks outside so sometimes asking for coffee or a...
