Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Passing It On


--by cabbage, posted Aug 10, 2018
An older woman who eats at the soup kitchen where I volunteer always brings earrings that she has made to give away. We have a special connection and I have found myself the recipient of her earring gifts many times, and have found ways to pass them on others who would also appreciate them (and I know she loves seeing me wear them when I work there!).

On Saturday she brought me a pair of beautiful pink-shaded earrings and I thought of a friend who they would suit perfectly. This friend had recently been on a very harrowing journey, and I wanted to give her something to celebrate her safe return so today I gifted her the earrings and she was so happy, exclaiming over how the color was perfect (that's why I thought of her). I was so glad that she enjoyed this surprise gift.
