What is the kindest thing you have ever done for a stranger?

Question

I'm always pulling people out of snow banks with my truck... and this past summer at a Tigers game there was a lady sitting next to me with her grandkids. It was such a hot humid day, and they looked miserable. My wife and i brought in 2 bottles of water for us, but we offered one to the lady. She gladly accepted it and it was nice to see the kids getting a drink and cooling off.

Answer 1

The kindest thing i have ever done for a stranger is well there was this homeless guy that always came down my road ever single day and i invited him into my house one day and i gave him some hot food and now he comes over almost everyday and i make him a hot dinner. I really enjoy helping strangers i volunteer at alot of places.

Answer 2

On my way to school everyday, I would stop at Dunkin Donuts and give this one man who was always sleeping in the same spot on the highway the donuts before going to class. I dont know why, he just stuck in my mind because i passed him every single day on the way to school.

Or when I went to El Salvador for two weeks. I just wished I could help everyone there. There were kids with no shoes, they would be peeking into restuarant windows watching everyone eat. It was heart breaking, so I left there broke because I everytime I saw a child that looked hungry or miserable, I would tell him to pick out something that he wanted. And most of the time, the child would get what they wanted, and then give it to another sibling or someone else they were with. That was my most emotional vacation ever.

Answer 3

Probably buying a airplane ticket for a complete stranger, the kid was trying to get home ... had most of the fare but with the taxes and fees he was broke.

The airlines wanted to run the whole amt on credit card which was fine. When the kid tried to pay me... I told him to go to the gift shop and buy his family a few trinkets and save the rest.

Gosh I had forgotten about it til u asked about the most kindest... It was the way I was raised by my parents. U do something without thinking of repayment, hoping if u or your children get in a jam... someone else will step forward and help.

Answer 4

I love children! I just can't seem to help myself so when I see a child who looks to be alone or lost.......I kinda of hang around to make sure a parent is around. This happens so often parents can look away for one second and lose a child. While in the mall once, with my son and his friend we came across a child who was about 2. It was funny because the child did not understand English, so my sons friend spoke to the child for me. Even though i could not speak his language the child refused to turn loose of me. We took him to the main office and he wanted nothing to do with the lady behind the desk and continued to hold onto me. Within mins the parents we're in the office. Although they spoke only Spanish I understood how thankful they were. And the little boy leaned out of his mother's arms and hugged me! That felt great.

Answer 5

I work in Central London and most of the time you get foreigners asking for directions. These three Asians where totally lost looking for a theater and they didn't speak English so imagine the horror.All they had was a flyer of the theater.. They were about two buses away and I was late for home. But guess who went on the bus with them?

Yep me. Took them all the way there. I felt pretty good after wards.

Answer 6

Not quite a stranger, met him once. I sent him a check for $100.00 and note because he made the National Honor Society in his senior year of high school. He was from a broken family but worked hard at getting his grades up and scored big time while having a job. he worked at earning money he needed money to apply for colleges ($50.00 a pop). I thought he deserved it. I only regret I'd had no more to offer him...I was so impressed with him.

Answer 7

Okay, I am not telling this to gross anyone out because it really happened. I was in a public bathroom in a store and the woman int the next stall to me was crying. She'd had diarrhea and it had gotten on the floor a bit. I listened to her cry a minute, waited till the rest of the people left (who were saying things like "oh, gross" and "how disgusting") and I asked her if I could help her in any way as I handed some wipes I had in my purse for my granddaughter. She sobbed as she said thank you and asked me if I would mind going out and asking her husband to buy her some undies. She described him and told me the size so I went and found this very worried looking elderly man who rushed off to get the undies while i waited. I took them in to her and asked if she wanted me to wait and she said no. I saw them leave right after that and the man pointed me out and she waved and started to cry. It was not pleasant, of course, but she needed help!

Answer 8

Paid for their groceries.

While in line at WalMart, I noticed the family in front of me had went over. The mother started counting up change and she asked her son (looked about 10 yrs old) for the change in his pocket. Well, they were about $10.00 short and from the look of things they didn't have enough, so I paid for their groceries (total was $62.55).

Helping others is always a top priority, the above incident is one of many.

Be blessed.

Answer 10

Given groceries to a family who was panhandling in the parking lot. Lady asked for money to buy her kids lunch, but I was leaving WalMart with a cart full of groceries. I gave her a lot of fresh food instead of the cheap hamburgers they were bound to eat, and her kids were happy.
