My husband works for a government agency that helps the local community with information and resourses they need. The office he works in sees hundreds of clients a day and many times parents have to bring their kids with them and wait a couple of hours before they can speak directly with a representative. My husband mentioned how bored the kids get just waiting with their parents so he purchased a few items and we made goodie bags with coloring pages, crayons and packs of store-bought cookies for him to give out to the kids. It didn't cost a lot to do and we enjoyed the idea so much that we plan to donate goodie bags to his office on a regular basis. We plan to involve our kids with making the goodie bags so we can share our Random Act of Kindness as a family. Thank you for inspiring us with your site!

I ran the 117th Boston Marathon and was stopped at Mile 24. I learned that there had been an explosion near the finish line. I tried to call my husband who was to meet me at the finish line but there was no signal. A runner told me there had been some explosions and I should not go to the finish line or take the subway home because of the possibility of unexploded devices. He and his girlfriend offered to take me home. In moments of such uncertainties, they offered me help and were so kind to make sure I was safely home before they took care of their own needs. God bless them for their kindness.

One day, the entire city got nearly 3 feet of snow. Around 2PM before i set off to work, I decided to shovel my driveway along with my neighbours. I chose to do their driveway first cause it seemed like a harder task. After 1 hour of shovelling, I finished their driveway. Right as I was about to start mine, I got a call from my boss asking me if I can come to work earlier because many people called-in "sick". I said OK and I walked to work with my driveway undone. After I got back from work, I asked my dad if he finished the driveway himself, to which he responded "The neighbours did it".
