Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Another Simple Act Of Kindness


--by Helenconnell2, posted Jun 29, 2025
This morning I had the opportunity for a small act of kindness for a stranger. I got on the bus after a hospital appointment and sat next to a lady near the front of the bus. When we reached Durham, I thought she was getting off but she wasn't. As we left Durham, she asked if we'd reached Durham hospital and I looked at the board and was able to tell her it was the stop after the next one. I rang the bell for her and moved out so she could leave the bus.

When she asked, she explained her eyesight wasn't very good so I said it was no problem to help her. I was at the same hospital yesterday for a mammogram and today I was on the way back from seeing my consultant so I was glad to help her.
