I have been suffering with a bad back recently with two broken vertebrae. Yesterday when getting off a Ferry here in Sydney I had a 500 metre walk to me next destination, a walk I could have achieved a year ago, sadly I can’t do it now. I had a friend with me who was concerned that I couldn’t make it up the hill. He approached an Uber driver who unbelievably said jump in my car and I’ll drive you.. The driver Waleed would not accept one cent! Amazing!
An hour later i was waiting for a taxi to take me home and a cab arrived. The passenger in the car had no cash and the taxi driver had eftpos problems. I said to the cab driver, allow me to pay for his fare ($20) if he would take me home (there was a shortage of cab drivers). On my way home I told him about the Uber driver’s gesture for me and I decided to “pay it forward”. When I paid the driver, I said to him to pay it forward to someone else. What a feeling. Simplicity in helping others in their time of need
I donate and collect handbags full of personal care items to the Share the Dignity “It’s in the bag” campaign each November. I then deliver them in bulk to a local charity for them to distribute to assist disadvantaged women enjoy their Christmas
On June 19th. of this year, which is also my birthday, I donated my kidney to a stranger that has now become a life long friend.
