I have sometimes -only if I get a certain "feeling" that they are out there truthfully and sincere - I have a very stong intuition - I once gave a guy who was clearly homeless 20 dollars cause he said he needed cab fare to try to get to a shelter where they could help him - He said he was really trying to get his life back together - for some reason I believed him - then 3 years later I saw him working at a car dealership -as I was browsing around at cars -he recognized me first and said I was the only person to help him at that time and he was really down and out -he had lost everything -he said that what I did for him that day gave him a little spark of hope - and before I could even say a word he reached in his pocket and gave me back $20.00 - he insisted I take it and he just had the warmest most sincere smile of graditude I have ever seen - It made me feel wonderful that I took a chance and helped someone

I'm an inspiration to myself. After all I've been through (to my sister stealing thousands of dollars from me to my mother leaving us at a young age) I get motivated by the fact that I haven't went crazy yet...lol. Sad but true. I have a wonderful job, a beautiful companion and a loving family who care and support me. And that's all inspirational to me!!

My daughter spent 3 months in the hospital recently.\n\nDuring and after her stay there, I have been on the receiving end of many acts of kindness.\n\nA former student of mine was serving my daughter and I breakfast last Sat., and at the end told me that breakfast was on her.\n\nIt was a $10 meal, but there was such kindness behind her actions; I was deeply touched.

I feel a little arrogant answering this question-- God has given me the gift of grace so all things I do are solely by his power... I feel the most memorable thing I have done is buy a young woman a bus ticket, she wasn't asking for it, she was trying to negotiate with the greyhound guy how to get a ticket to get home, her's was stolen, I was blessed enough to have just enough money in my wallet to buy her some help getting home, she cried\nIt was just paying forward all the things god and my family and friends and even strangers have done for me

Well here's one:\nI took care of this old man in the hospital. After he got his dinner tray he started tearing off little pieces of bread and threw them all over the floor.\nI asked him what he was doing and he said,  "I'm feeding my dogs, they gotta eat too"\nHAHAHAHA....sad, in a funny way, but true

Maybe nifty.org . They have a database of actual stories which is pretty good.

My aunt was in the hospital dying of cancer. Her doctors had given up hope. The look on her face was she was at death's door. She told my mother that she needed to leave the hospital. She needed to be around people who were praying for her. In order to live, she needed to leave. She was bed ridden and often hallucinating. She some how convinced everyone to bring her home. \nDay one at home she was able to speak clearly and reason. Day two she was able to get out of bed with assistance. Day three she was up walking around her house and talking as if she had never been dying. I was right there for it all, this was a miracle.

I am not sure if you are looking for a story of kindness...if that is what you mean. \nBut if it is first of all let me say I am sure that sometime in your life someone has shown your kindness or you have witnessed an act of kindness. It is always better if you write from your heart not someone elses. \n\nHowever I will share this story with you just because I am quick to tell people how kindness has touched me.\n\nAbout four or five years ago I was going through a very hard time. It was December and I wasnt even sure how I was going to pay my bills much less buy Christmas presents for my daughter etc.\nWe live in a Northern state so it was cold. I did not have a car. Every morning I would bundle the baby up tight as can be in blankets etc stick her in the stroller and we would walk a mile to her daycare. Sometimes it was below zero but I always made sure she stayed warm.\nOne morning during our walk we had a lady pull over and get out of her car. She said to me that she sees us walking every morning and has been praying for us at her church. I said thank you. Then she said us at the church just want you to have this and she handed me an envelope. I dropped my daughter off and opened the envelope and there was over $100 in there. From strangers.\nThat same year God really must have been watching over me because the daycare donated a bunch of presents to us. \nAlso I got a letter on the stroller one day with two bags full of groceries. In the letter it said that they wanted to remain anonymous but to give a list of things we needed to this lady that we know and that they would make sure we got those things. I never did provide the list. I hope the person doesnt think I didnt appreciate it because I did...and still do. But I didnt want to depend on other people. Their kindness touched me so much that even now all these years later I am crying sharing the story.
