Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Being Prepared to Help


--by MakeSomeoneSmile, posted Mar 29, 2020
We have a homeless visitor who comes to the door of our business sometimes.
We try to keep a few snack bags on hand for him or any other who come by. He is shy and knocks on the door but will not come in.

Today I talked with him for a bit after giving him a bag. He was asking my advice on an injury he had. I told him what I thought but reminded him I'm no expert. We had a kind interaction and I wished him a good weekend.

Being prepared helps us to be ready when a kindness opportunity shows up. More than that, just a few kind words and tone makes all the difference. I could tell it mattered and made the difference to this man today!
