I own a store selling used items. My items are not donated I purchase all. By the time overhead is paid I make less than minimum wage but love to help others. Had a lady blow a tire and with no spare we found and paid to replace it for her. While doing so I noticed her child's toes had worn holes through her shoes. I gave her some pretty new to her boots. So far this Christmas we have given away 2 dozen boots to needy individuals.

I was at the grocery store waiting in line behind an elderly lady, when she went to go pay for the little bit of groceries that she had her debt card didn't have enough on it so I paid for the balance. She was so thankful and the cashiers said that they had never seen anyone do that before. I not only made the ladies day but also gave a good lesson to the youngsters. It made my heart glad.

I am in 6th grade Beta Club and need volunteer hours. I decided to bell ring for the salvation army. I rang for 2 hours and as I was ringing I noticed that not a lot of people were donating. My grandpa was there and said I collected plenty of money to get a few families Christmas dinner and presents. That made me feel really good! I hope this post inspires others to donate and volunteer. Merry Christmas!

There was a young couple standing by their car with a sign that said they were homeless and needed help.

They looked frozen and hungry so I bought them a couple of cheeseburgers and some fries.

Their faces just lit up when I pulled up and asked if they were hungry. They were so grateful! Made my day to pay it forward, but I couldn't help but cry and feel bad for them as I drove away.

When I was in line at Sonic I paid for the guys meal and drink that was line behind me. I asked the lady at the window to tell him it was paid for and to say Merry Christmas! Try it and watch the expression on peoples faces as they are being told.

I gave $5.00 to a homeless man with a dog - who was just sitting on the cold pavement with his dog playing a guitar softly. He wasn't begging, just sitting there.

So many times the only friend the homeless has is their pet and they worry about their pet. I know it ment alot.

I was standing in line at a Christmas store with my purchase. The man in front of me was buying decorations with his daughters. Since it was his 1st Christmas as a divorced Dad, he let them buy whatever they wanted. He was concerned that he was racking up the national debt. I gave him my 20% off coupon and it saved him over $150.00. He and his girls were very thankful.

Last night I was in a store at the checkout counter. A mom and her daughter had two items on the counter. One of them was a beautiful baby blue colored sweater. I overheard the cashier tell the mom that her card was declined for purchase. Mom looked pretty disraught. She rummaged through her wallet and managed to have just enough to pay for the smaller item. I purchased the sweater for her and gave it to her. Although we were strangers, we embraced with tears in our eyes experiencing the true Spirit of Christmas.
