Toys for a Boy

A co-worker friend of mine has a young son and as I have some toys that my son no longer plays with, I gave her a box of toys. When I saw her the next day she told me how thrilled her son was with the new toys.

She Was Doing a RAoK

Thursday, July 2nd.

I just ran into a lady in an elevator at the hospital. I told her I loved her dress. She told me it was her "caregiver" dress. Easy on, no iron... I asked her if she was visiting someone. She said yes. Her mom. Broken pelvis and arm I think. Her dad actually fell on her mom. Both were transported to the

I Realized How Disrespectful I Had Just Been

One day I stopped with my mother at Subway for lunch. I noticed a homeless man sitting against the building wall in front of my car, but was in a hurry and did not feel like being approached, so I walked around the back of my car to avoid walking past him. As I got to the entrance to Subway,

His Eyes Watered

I found out about this wonderful thing you are doing through Melanie. I wanted to be a part of letting this young man know that RAoK are happening all over.

I live now in North Carolina and my name is Sharon. Melanie is my publisher.

But here it it. I was fortunate in the sense I got more then what I gave.:

The Time to Take Care of Someone's Lost Phone

Hi Eddie,

My husband, Andy, and I try to be helpers when we have the opportunity. Random acts of kindness are definitely things you take the time to do in going out of your way without expecting thanks.

We had an opportunity at the dog park today (Sunday, July 5) when we noticed someone had left

Sharing the Wealth

I take a girlfriend down to the free food give away and when we get back to her house, she gives me the things that her family can't use or won't eat and I bring it home for us. There are some things that we can't use or won't eat and my husband takes it to work with him and gives it to a coworker that is the only person working in a household of nine and they use anything and everything we give them.

A Helping Hand and Kindness

This was my husband that did this.

Was shopping and a small, elderly lady in front of me was trying to lift a watermelon out of her cart onto the grocery counter. It was too heavy and she dropped it and lost her balance and fell back against me and my cart where I kept her from hitting the ground. She was embarrassed about what happened and tried to pick up the cracked watermelon off the ground. I told her let me get that for

She Volunteers to Help Others

I work at a hospital and one of the volunteers,who is an inspiration to me because she volunteers even though she has many physical disabilities, asked to borrow $10.00. She intends to pay me back. I have no intention of accepting her money. This lady should be an inspiration to us all. Even though she has multiple disabilities, she volunteers to help others.

Burger, Fries, and a Soda

Awhile back, we were at Carl's Jr waiting for our food. A young man walked in and asked what was the cheapest item on the menu. He then counted his change hoping he had the $2.00 to pay for his burger. I realize at moments like this how blessed I am. I hand the guy $5 and said, "Here, order some fries to go with that." You would think I had handed him $100. He replied, "Wow, this is my lucky

A Story of my Football Family from High School

This story is from when I was in high school. I played football and had several coaches. One coach was an unpaid volunteer. He was a 45 year old man that once played for the high school. When he was 17 years old, he was in a car accident and ended up paralyzed from the waist down, leaving him
