Shayoni Mehta

Despite struggling with tremendous and very serious personal setbacks, she took the time on November 4th to notice and help an old man down the stairs... in a seedy neighborhood which we normally would want to skip past at rapid pace.

Editor's Note: A steadfast keeper of Tanya's memories, she is always a hero.

Jennifer El-Rifai

Nothing like someone helping an animal in need! Jennifer found a dog during her walk on Novermber 4th, with not one but two collars but no name tag. She got him to trot alongside her, got him safely ensconsed in her yard and called around to discover that he belonged to her neighbor who did not even realize the dog had gone missing! Woof Woof thanks Jennifer for saving the dog and his family from hours or even days of agony.

Anju Bhagar Kohli

 Guru Gobind Singh Foundation in Rockville, MD holds an annual healthfair where folks can get free bloodwork done. Everyone is welcome. We also offer consults with doctors from many different specialists who volunteer their time for this worthy cause. This year we had the largest turnout. Educating folks about anything related to healthy living is my passion. I am not a medical professional. We had some folks attend who don't speak English. We had volunteers who helped with Spanish & Chinese. As it was winding down, I noticed this 1 person & went to say hi to him. He managed to explain to me that his buddies left to go to a job & he had no way of getting home. I know nothing about bus routes or how 'infrequently' they run especially on a weekend. He told me where he works & that he lives close by there. I could hardly leave him there especially since he doesn't speak much English. I offered to drop him back. It was not far. We managed to chat a bit & I learnt a little bit about his life & circumstances. Sad & unfortunate. Can't do much to change that but was glad I was able to make the last part of his day a bit easier. AND yet again was reminded of the UMPTEEN Blessings we so easily overlook when there are many many many who face REAL struggles Every single day. So! Not quite sure if I did him a favor or he did me one?

Alisa Alt

Alisa Alt is a picture of kindness This year she and her family are donating eyeglasses at their church. They are also donating to the Thanksgiving Food Drive which goes to feed the needy of Morris County, New Jersey.

The Anonymous Couple

This young couple prefers to remain in the shadows. They spent November 3rd at a Food Kitchen where they baked a Peach Cobbler Pie and then helped pack meals on wheels for the city's homeless and hungry. Their pie must have been a delicious end to a sumptuous meal for many who also send a thousand blessing their way.

Sylvia Farley

A picture of loveliness and boundless energy, Sylvia is one brave soul. She has overcome many personal odds yet continues to be an admirably positive can-do person. She spent November 3rd at a shelter. She spread love and kindness, befriended a "lovely gal", prayed for Tanya. She then went on to donate a large bag of king size flannnel sheets to the shelter in Tanya's name. Here is Sylvia with her new "lovley gal" friend.

Bijoy Kumar Bose

He is what you would call a humble, peaceful soul. Kind and considerate, this elder brother taught me a thing or two about spirituality. Here is his kind act spoken in a modest few words:
My limited act of kindness.....just donated to Helpage India , who take care of helpless elders all over India.

Lee Innocenti

I saved Lee for last because I have not mastered English enough to tell you what a fabulous daughter she is to her 102-year old mother  and an overall awesome inspiration to almost everyone she touches. Here's her no-nonsense story:
The husband of one of my aides became ill. She was so distressed because she could not afford the co pays and hubby could not get treatment needed without the copays up front so I paid them so she could focus on helping him and so he could get treatment ASAP. 

---------------------------------------------------

Well, my friends - these 9 Angels on Earth have touched many, many lives in 2 short days and Tanya is rejoicing. God bless you all. The needy, and I, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

If you would like to share a KIND act between now and next year's Wall of Kindness, please reach out to me. I will gladly share - we all strive to make the world a better place.....
