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,...

What Working at a Food Bank Taught Me

2,721 views | Posted by Michael on September 30, 2026

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...

I gave my extra food to a homeless man this morning, then a stranger on my flight unexpectedly gave me $60

2,659 views | Posted by A friend on September 29, 2026

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...

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...

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...

Thank you to the stranger who gave me a hug on the Victoria line today

2,500 views | Posted by A friend on September 26, 2026

I've been job hunting for months now. Today I found out that a job I thought I'd get fell through. On top of that, I did a trial shift for a few hours at a café last week, but they turned me down and refused to pay for the trial afterwards. All that pressure just built up, and on the train it hit me all at once. I...

Kindness that made me cry

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...

My Dad Bought My Handbag And Purse From Me

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...

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...

My hotel housekeeping guy made me realize how much the smallest acts of kindness can mean

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...

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...

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....

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...

I hope this new story of mine reminds you of the special home you carry in your heart. God bless you always.

Then when I was 11...

The Music You Share

My two adult sons both have special needs and are on the Autism spectrum. My youngest son has a more severe type and doesn’t speak much. A few words when he wants something are the most we can get out of him. He does love listening to music, though, especially Christmas music. Well recently he discovered that on our cable...

My Neighbor Fixed My Bike!

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...
