  1. I was waiting in my car to turn right at the lights today and I watched an elderly man (turns out he’s in his late 80’s) crossing at the lights and asking the drivers in front of me if he could get a ride home. Everyone said no I know I shouldn’t be offering complete strangers a ride in my car, however it was a really hot day and he looked very frail. He’d just been grocery shopping and was lugging a couple of heavy looking bags. John was his name. HIs wife, who would normally do the shopping, is now in hospital permanently with dementia. It was only a small detour from where I was going and he was very appreciative of the ride. Many people have showed me kindness in the past and it was a great feeling to pass it forward.

  2. Some months ago I was in a grocer’s shop and had put my groceries through the checkout. I had recently changed the pin number on my credit card and couldn’t remember it. I tried a few times but in the end went over to the checkout where there was a staff member. She tried to help by reducing the number of items so that I wouldn’t go over the limit for transactions that is set by the group I belong to. That didn’t work, so I said I’d go home and get help from there, moneywise.

    A woman I had never seen before, nor have since, stepped forward and handed $150 to the lady on the checkout. I looked at her in amazement and she just smiled and shrugged her shoulders, but wouldn’t give me her name.

  3. Held a packing party for Share the Dignity It’s in the Bag campaign, with my friends we put together 56 bags for women in need
