Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Connecting Nourishment


--by KiwiCat, posted Jul 26, 2019
I've just joined a FB group where mothers or fathers can request a meal. There doesn't have to be a reason but usually, it's illness or a new baby. Today I did my first dinner - a vegan hotpot, side of veggies, rice, and pears and chocolate for dessert. I also added a bottle of organic juice, some chicken noodle soup (which is vegan) and some stickers and fruit sweets for their children. Unfortunately, this family lives on the other side of the city so I phoned a friend who is an Uber driver. She came and got the food and drove it across town and delivered it to this family. They were so grateful. The best comment they made was that it had nurtured their spirits as well as their sick bodies. Then the admin of the FB page contacted me and said she would send my friend a thank you gift card for delivering the meal. What a circle of love!

I myself was in that same situation a few months back. I recall seeing a show of young men that went to guatamala (somewhere like that) for a school project. The small community would put in a certain amount of money each pay day. I think maybe after 3 or 4 paydays, the person on next on the list got that money. They would start over, then the next person got the money. I've tried to get coworkers/friends to do it but it didn't work.
