I always feel the need to help, but a) rarely have cash and b) always feel a little uncertain about handing out cash. This is a great way to solve that problem!

Two of my favorite small kindness experiences are:<br /><br />1. It was a steaming hot day a few years ago, and a man was standing with a sign at a freeway exit downtown. I had just been to the store and bought some Gatorade. I handed him one out the window, and he opened it almost immediately while he was sweating his life away in the sun.<br />2. There was a progressively-more-pregnant lady who used to hold a sign at the intersection of Lake and Hennepin in Uptown. I took her to the store and let her buy $25 worth of groceries, whatever she wanted. I felt bad, because it was a hot day, so she couldn't buy things that would need refrigeration, but she did buy things she wouldn't normally buy for lunch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067490423926238288noreply@blogger.com
