Today’s Kindness Stories

Acts of kindness can have a profound impact.

Here are a few documented stories that highlight how acts of kindness have had a profound impact on individuals and communities:

The Man with the Golden Voice: In 2011, a video of Ted Williams, a homeless man with a golden voice, went viral. After being discovered by a reporter on the street, his life changed dramatically. People began donating money, and he received offers for voiceover work, a home, and a new beginning. This act of kindness not only transformed Williams’ life but also sparked conversations about homelessness and the importance of compassion.

An Unexpected Gift: In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a New Jersey restaurant owner, John K. of the Brownstone, started delivering free meals to healthcare workers at local hospitals. His initiative inspired others to contribute, resulting in thousands of meals being provided. This act of kindness not only nourished frontline workers but also fostered a sense of community and support during a challenging time.

The College Student and the Woman in Need: In 2018, a college student named Nick Sampson saw a homeless woman, Frances, struggling with her belongings in San Diego. He offered her help, which led to a friendship and a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $100,000 to support Frances and help her find stable housing. This act of kindness showcased the impact one person can have by simply taking the time to help another.

These stories illustrate how small acts of kindness can lead to significant changes in people’s lives, inspiring others to spread kindness and support within their communities.

Highway hero

Driving home in a blizzard, I noticed a vehicle trailing close behind me. Suddenly, my tire blew! I pulled off the road, and so did the other car. A man jumped out from behind the wheel and without hesitation changed the flat. “I was going to get off two miles back,” he said. “But I didn’t think that tire looked good.” —Marilyn Attebery, Spokane Valley, Washington
