Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Trash Fairy


--by CoffeeKitten, posted Jan 27, 2009

I live in an apartment and often times people will put their trash outside their doors while they are cleaning.  My downstairs neighbors have been working extra hard and are having a difficult time. 

I was finally able to be their Trash Fairy and grab the bag and walk it down to the dumpster without them seeing.  It totally made my day :)  Now I am going to keep my eyes open for opportunities for the Trash Fairy to return and help other neighbors by taking their trash to the dumpster.
