KIND SOULS

Subhra Ghosh

Life changes do not disrupt kind intent

Having recently moved from the east to the west coast, I wanted to continue the tradition of feeding the homeless and needy with Thanksgiving dinner. I did find a charitable organization that I donated to, which will feed some needy and homeless people a warm Thanksgiving dinner. May Tanya's memory of her kindness be a guiding light for us all.

Bruce Emra

Simply Kind

While recently at an airport, Bruce did the simplest and most profound of kind acts – he smiled and greeted a man he happened to sit next to just because the man looked harried and tired. For someone who normally keeps to himself, this was a tremendously courageous act of kindness.

A Cry for Help Answered

A single mother with a handicapped teenager was struggling to find and hold on to a job. This kind Samaritan helped her with job search, interview techniques, mock interviews, job application process and all of the tribulations that go with job hunting. She has successfully held onto her job from then on.

A friend in need is a friend indeed

Recently, three of my friends asked me to help their children who are in college, just out of college or in a job. I spend a few hours each week in conversation with each of them, mentoring and coaching.

My snowbird neighbors always

need something done for them with mail,

their apartments, their plumbing and it is

my pleasure to help as many as I can doing

these errands for them. It makes their life easier and I enjoy extending my friendship to them.

Endlessly I also donate to various causes hoping my limited donations will ease pain, help someone in some small way.

The quest to be kind knows no physical boundaries

Despite her own severe hip and leg issues and taking care or an elderly relatice, Judy makes time to frequently call friends who are having trouble. Just to be a shoulder, a counselor and an advisor. She also visits one elderly friend regularly to help out as best she can. On a 7 days a week basis she helps 3 immigrant family children with their homework and school related studies.

Kindness throughout work and rest times

This couple takes the time to smile and say hello to every neighbor during their walk. What a great way to brighten someone’s day. As teachers they demonstrate kindness in the classroom many ways. Here are some examples:

- Celebrating a student’s success with high fives

- Drawing out a quieter student by asking them for an in-depth explanation of their favorite activity like a video game

- Taking on extra work for sick colleagues

A Good Samaritan

This kind anonymous person takes pleasure in true random acts of kindness. Recently he paid for the coffee of the next person in queue while purchasing his own. What a way to spread goodness! We bet that next person was so touched he did something kind that day or the next for someone else and the virtuous relay began!
