The point about charitable giving is that you do it without bragging about it !

Re: The kindness of strangers
Not his school and not even his town, but the owner of a contracting company (Near Fredericton) heard about damage to a school field and has offered time and equipment at no charge to get it fixed.
"It's the right thing to do" he said. :thumbup: |
Re: The kindness of strangers
I like helping people. Even if it's sometimes for totally selfish reasons! Still helps the other person!!

Re: The kindness of strangers
Leonie Gillingham knew something was wrong when Monday night's cash was over by $70. Gillingham, the co-owner of Claudine's Eatery, a cozy restaurant with about 12 tables on Fredericton's north side, turned to her mother and fellow co-owner Claudine Cyr to solve the mystery. After a quick search of the receipts, the mystery was solved: a $70 tip for a meal of liver and onions, with bacon. Gillingham immediately took to social media to track down the customer. She took a picture of the receipt and posted it online. |

Two weeks later her credit card bill came through and she realised what she had done. She went back to the Indian and they told her to swivel. Expensive mistake :lol: |

dog finds lost cat in storm drain
āThe one guy couldnāt get it open on his own so five other guys showed up and they had three sledgehammers going,ā said Francolini. She then got comfortable, hoping the four-year-old cat would eventually climb out. But she believes the banging sounds may have scared the orange tabby further into the drain, so she camped out on the street. āSomeone came and gave me a blanket so I made a little blanket fort basically. Every so often friends and strangers came and went. A neighbour charged my phone for me. Two people brought me dinner. A lady gave me five bottles of water,ā said Francolini. āIt was incredible. It was mind-blowing and heartwarming.ā |

Re: The kindness of strangers
75 year old Moncton guy attends hospital daily for Radiation treatment and parks his car on a meter in a side street which is much closer to the Oncology department than hospital parking.
Feels funny one day but goes to his hour long appointment only for them to admit him via ER after a routine check of vitals. He's worried about getting a ticket to add to his other problems. The nurses take turns to go out and feed the meter for the next day or so until someone is able to move the car. "Our patients already have a lot of weight on their shoulders with things that make their lives more difficult. Sometimes a little 'tap on the shoulder' helps a lot." :thumbup: |
Re: The kindness of strangers
A story from Bedford UK. A woman is paying fir her parking but doesn't have enough coins as the machine keeps rejecting them. A man who is usually there begging comes over and uses his coins to pay. "I wouldn't want to see you stranded"
