Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Kindness Given And Received


--by Helenconnell2, posted Jul 20, 2025
I took a slightly different route to do my shopping this morning as I needed to post a letter and the nearest post box is not on my normal route. As I was approaching the alternative entrance to the supermarket I was looking in the window of one of the charity shops. There was a four drawer trolley and I knew it would be ideal for storage of papers and craft items but the shop wasn't open until 9.30.

I decided I would do my shopping and if it wasn't open visit a couple of other shops on my way. By the time I returned it was opening and I went in and looked at it and decided yes, I'll buy it. It was light fortunately as I had to carry it home. On my way, one of the drawers fell out and I hadn't noticed. A very kind man picked it up and gave it to me. He also suggested I should turn it round and then I could keep an eye on the drawers.

So, I helped a charity and a kind man helped me.
