Caitlyn, Whoever You Are, You Are Amazing

By Georgia on February 13, 2023 / 2,880 views

Today my Dad decided to take a little wander off into a suburb he is not familiar with anymore. Cause for concern due to dementia and disorientation we were on high alert. He carries no mobile phone anymore so a bit tricky to locate. From the hours of 2pm - 7pm tonight he was unaccounted for. Police were notified and looking for him. A woman called Caitlyn...

Yesterday I Took My Mom Out For Lunch At A Local Club

By A Friend on February 13, 2023 / 2,772 views

Yesterday I took my mom out for lunch at a local club. When we arrived, a man in a wheelchair was waving at her and saying hello - I guess because she is also in a wheelchair. At the table next to us, a family was having lunch. The little boy (about eight years old) was smiling away and when I caught his eye, his beautiful smile got even brighter. I pointed him out to mom and he smiled at her often...

This man (Adelaide) stopped this morning to change my tyre after it blew on the Southern Expressway! He told me to cancel the RAA. He was so kind and I’m absolutely so grateful. I had my baby with me so it was pretty scary! Thank you again lovely...

Our cat has been missing for 4 days I’ve had him for 10 years I’ve been absolutely Beside myself and my two year old has been heartbroken just praying he comes home. After posting everywhere we could calling vets, pounds, putting fliers in everyone’s mailboxes, out every night and morning looking, posters everywhere in our area. We got a call this morning saying they spotted...

Well Done, Lad!

Watched a young bloke (mid - late teens) skateboard on the footpath in Melbourne's northern suburbs. Stopped when his way was blocked by rubbish which appears to have fallen out of a wheelie bin when it was being emptied. Instead of walking past, he picked up ALL the rubbish and put it back into the bin. I was so impressed that I told him I'd witnessed his good deed and...

Yesterday I Walked Into The Cafe...

By Tilly on February 03, 2023 / 2,235 views

Yesterday I walked into the cafe at work and saw the young woman serving, had shaved her beautiful long hair off! I was shocked initially, as I know she had only recently got married. I asked her why and she replied "I shave my head every 2.5 years and donate my hair for wigs to be made for cancer patients." A close family member had benefitted from someone else's...

Yesterday We Had To Make The Hard Decision...

Yesterday we had to make the hard decision to let one of our Beagles grow her wings. We stopped off at McDonalds on the way to the vets to get her some chicken nuggets. The lovely Jade at Jindalee McDonalds saw us get the dogs out of the car and commented on how beautiful they were. Once she found out why we were there, she brought our girl an ice-cream. It may not be much to...

By A Friend on February 02, 2023 / 2,657 views

Today my husband had his first job interview after being out of work for nearly 5 years after a work place accident. The interview was quite a distance away so we sourced his route and timing and he set out. Brisbane’s weather is foul right now, huge temperatures and he was walking from the train station to the office (about 2.5km) a mother and daughter pulled up and said they would like to...

So this happened in Montana. I'm on my way to go to my interview this morning when I get pulled over by a police officer. I am native American and my friend that was with me is black. Just saying. Both brake lights decided to go out this time. As he walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said, "Don't worry about pulling anything...

First Time For Everything...

By Aileen on January 30, 2023 / 2,258 views

First time for everything. I never thought it would happen to me but it did. Kindness or as some may say paying it forward. I put some petrol in the car went to pay and the lady said 'I think you will have a great day'.  'Why?' I say. 'Because the lady in front of you has paid for your petrol.' My jaw dropped. I'm very...

Reflections

My daughter has a new app on her phone that can clear up and enhance old photographs. She used it to make copies of pictures from my old photo albums, brighten them up, and email them back to me. There were pictures of Mom, Dad, Nana, my brothers, me and my first dog Duke. Looking at them brought back so many loving, happy memories. I even put one on my laptop computer as my new screen saver. It is...

A Special Needs Trike

By A Friend on January 26, 2023 / 2,827 views

I recently posted my disabled daughters special needs Trike on marketplace for free as she had outgrown it and it was very expensive- I just wanted a child who was disadvantaged like my own to have the freedom most families/children take for granted. I had a family collect it a week ago, and we had a good chat about life and what not. We had a few tears together but we were all very excited for...

That's For Hayley

Years ago on a train on my way into city I noticed a family got on - 2 little girls, their Mom and mother’s friend. They had packed trolley bags, on their way to a destination where, from what it looked like, they were going to be there some days. The girls sat down next to an older gentleman. Down the ride one of the little girls started speaking to the man and most passengers within audible...

To the beautiful woman who just paid for a $400 plus trolley full of groceries for a father and his two sons at the Karingal Aldi, you are a wonderful human and I hope that the kindness showed by you today, comes back to you tenfold! I felt helpless standing there watching his card decline a couple of times because I myself, am not in a position to cover his groceries and I was desperately wishing I...

Potato Pancakes

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 22, 2023 / 3,528 views

When I was a boy growing up we didn’t have much. Most of the clothes I wore were hand me downs from my two brothers. The books I read were old, worn, and dog-eared with stained, yellow pages. My toys were few and came only at Christmas or my birthday. We didn’t even buy that much at the grocery store because we raised so much of our food at home. We raised pigs for meat and had four HUGE vegetable...

People Change

I was bullied a lot in secondary school (11-18 years old for people who have different school systems). There was one main culprit, let's call him C. Over many years, this boy physically and verbally abused me every day. This went on for a long time. Eventually we left school, no idea what he went on to do, I think it was construction. Many years passed. One day I was walking to the supermarket,...

Little Things Count

Shout out to the stranger in the drive through who paid for my meal today. Not sure if you saw me crying behind you, or just felt like being kind, but you made my horrible day/week/month a little brighter. Also shoutout to the poor drive-through worker who had to deal with me as I cried of happiness over free French Fries...
