last christmas me and my best friend made around 200 cupcakes and decoratede them very christmassy and half of them we delivered to a orphanage with kids of all ages, and we even got to give them to the children ourselves. the other half we delivered to a institute for the abnormal and a platefull to our grandma. ill never forget the childrens faces when we gave them a cupcake. this year i hope to do the same thing, except for other needy people and kids. doing something kind makes you feel really great inside! every one in this world should be more kind, then maybe the world would be almost perfect!!! :)

I am just a 4th grader, and I have been signing up for as many things as I can that includes helping younger children. I really like working with little kids, especially a first grader called Parker. we went on a field trip today, and he was in my group. He wasn't as much of a handful as everyone else says he is. Currently, I am signed up for my classroom's SERT(Student Emergency Response Team) training. If there is ever a natural disaster, I hope to be able to help. next year I want to be a student coach to help the younger kids learn.

I did not do this act of kindness. It was done for me.
I was going to a meeting alone in my car. A car ahead of me pulled into the parking lot and passed a wonderful parking space right near the building. As I got out of my car, I noticed him, shambling along, and I went to him and thanked him for passing up the perfect space for a total stranger. I later learned that he has a very debilitating handicap and cannot walk very fall without pain. Thank you for lettin me share this story. He has since become a close friend of mine and he truly lives a live of kindness to others.

I don't hope to offend anyone, but it seems that all or most of these posts are from people bragging about what they did for others. RANDOM acts of kindness implies to me a gift to someone without an expectation of ANY personal reward..including bragging rights!
Having said that I would like to share two quick stories: We have a Christmas tradition (since 1977) at our house where we put candy canes on the tree and each time we have a guest they take a cane off. It started because of someone crying at a convenience store. Another person was young and had nothing to offer that would help the lady, so she offered her a candy cane and a hug. The candy canes remind me that even if we can't solve another person's problems for them, we can offer a token of support and compassion, no matter how small and insignificant the token.

The second story happened just a few weeks ago.
A lady was cashing out at the store where I had just pumped gasoline. I was going to run an errand in another town where the gas was much cheaper, so I was only purchasing five dollars worth to get me there. When I pulled out my money to pay the clerk did not charge me for the gasoline because a lady standing beside me had overheard and discreetly paid for me!
As I was leaving a gentleman held the door for me and it reminded me how blessed I am to live where I live because in our little rural area people daily hold the door for one another male or female, young or old. It is a subtle reminder that people here are caring for each other in little ways everyday!

I would like to say you r right about bragging but to inspire with something you did to remind others is wonderful. i loved your stories!

Hey LLL....don't forget that many of users of this site are children. The subtleties of a true Random Act of Kindness may not quite be apparent to them yet.

I agree with MD in Texas, hopefully some of the acts shared here will inspire someone...even if it's just one person...to do something kind. That one act just might inspire another, and another....and maybe just make the world a little better place!

-Someone was on crutches and no one was helping her so I offered to help her.
-Someone couldn't get their clay round so I did it.

I am in 8th grade and I decided that I dont want presents this year. Instead, i am asking my family to donate scarfs,hats,gloves,fast food gift cards, etc. During December I am going to give bags containing these items to the homeless. Christmas isnt about presents and i think everyone should know that.
God bless, and Merry almost Christmas!

While at Toronto airport, waiting to fly back to Ca.,I was getting a snack. Next to me was a Catholic priest paying for his snack,he was counting out from a bunch of change in his hand, I called the counter person over and paid for all of the priest's snack and more.
He thanked me--that was sufficient for me. I am a Protestant, and a man.

that really cool that you don't care what religion he is I know that some people don't like people because they are a different religion.

Heyya squeky i think that your right by what you said and it is wrong to judge others by the way they look or their religion. A while back there was a boy in my school and people used to call him gay all the time, i knew this was wrong because i went out with him but it still got to him. Soon after we had to break up because he moved to a different country,i was really sad. :(
Do you know that if you cal anyone gay in the uk and they take offence to it you could be jailed for 5 years!!!
