Priceless! Thank you for sharing and caring.
Unexpected kindness is available to everyone as a sort of superpower -- bestowing a dopamine hit on all sides. I like to complement total strangers -- the dad at the coffee shop busy keeping his three young sons in line, or the older lady at the airport who looked smashing in her bold green shirt. Small things matter. Kindness doesn't need a reason.
God Bless you Bill.
I am so glad you had this opportunity. I have lived overseas many years in different countries and it is an experience everyone should seek. It allows us to be thankful everyday and to appreciate life and want to help others even more than we would normally do. Thanks for sharing. Maybe others will be inspired to help a charity fulfill its mission. Life is wonderful.
Thank you Mr. Burns for your care, support and kindness.
Kindness is contagious! Way to step up Bill!
Very interesting
