I donated some money for Caritas to help support project compassion.
Cooking my dad breakfast
Made my Uncle a present for the next time he visits us.
I was living in Colorado and had recently found out I was pregnant. I came across a Craigslist add for a crib/toddler bed combo that came with a mattress, changing table, and matching dresser. I messaged the couple selling it who lived out in Pueblo County. My boyfriend at the time and I went to pick it up and ended up having a great conversation with the family. They showed us around their home and the classic cars they owned. On our way out, I noticed the wife chasing us down the driveway. She stopped us and told us she knew how tough it was starting out and gave us our money back for everything. I teared up and thanked her profusely. I even mailed them a thank you card there after.
Since then, my sons dad and I split up and I am now living back in Alaska and passing that kindness on. I gave the crib set up to another family just starting out. I try to do good for my community as much as I can. I received an enormous amount of help as a single mother and I am now in a position that I can afford to pay it forward. Just this week (Today is 12/20/2018 I back dated this to when we were given the crib, I happened to still have the craigslist emails) I finished up sewing 150 stockings and stuffed them with goodies for the kids in my community. I hope to continue to spread kindness and to influence others the best I can!
My brother Toby recently had his cross country and I wished him the best of luck. He came 1st out of 154.
