This is the man I married-

[MOMFUDSKI]

He walks for hours each morning picking up trash with his bag and pick stick. Yesterday, he came across a young gal with a backpack and walking barefoot. Asked where her shoes were. Said totally worn and had to toss them. He asked her if she was homeless and she said yes. Handed her $20. He casually mentioned it to me today. What’s not to love?

1. You chose well. That was very kind of him.

[MOMFUDSKI]

2. Thanks

I could tell story after story about his kindness. A definite keeper. I am lucky.

[Duppers]

3. Definitely a "keeper."

What a kind person! An example for everyone.

Poor girl, btw. I hope she stays safe.

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. We discussed at length

how this happened to her. No way to know. She had an opening to speak to him but that didn’t happen. Hoping she will find her way.

5. A truly good soul! Give him our best.

[MOMFUDSKI]

9. Thanks

He is Random Acts of Kindness in the flesh.

10. I try to live similarly. It's what we're supposed to do, IMHO

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. Went to Home Depot with our young grandson once

and as we got out of the car my husband went over to help a guy loading a bunch of lumber onto his truck. I told our grandson, "THIS is how to live your life". This happens all the time.

16. That's a Good Samaritan! A nice person who helps others when we see a need.

12. Damn, it is dusty in here.

13. Give your hubby a hug for me

Your husband's kindness is magnificent. In terms of the trash collecting, I immediately thought of Pete Seeger, the late folk singer, and the writer, David Sedaris. Seeger once said that picking up trash was his religion. Sedaris has actually had a garbage wagon named after him.

[MOMFUDSKI]

14. Did not know about these 2.

Some people emit pure selflessness.

15. We had a six year old grandson stay with us for the weekend. He and i helped turtles cross the road.

Its egg laying time for them, and they always go back to where they hatched from. He was excited to tell his mom about it when i brought him back home. Its something he'll always remember, and maybe do with HIS kids and grandkids.
And, yes, your husband sounds like a great, kind man!

17. just a few days ago, a young man was lying directly on the cement outside our

surburban store at night. he had just a thin blanket covering him. He had no shoes, just dirty socks worn through.


I went into a business planning to drop a few dollars near him, he was fast asleep, on my way out.

On my way out, as i walked up to him, a woman was walking towards him with a blanket. She covered him gently with the blanket. She spoke to me about "never knowing what someone was going through.." and that she wished she had one of the backpacks she normally carries with her to give to homeless.

As we talked I noticed that the first blanket covering him was newly purchased and a unopened new bottle of water was next to him... so we weren't the first to help him.

I went into the store and purchased some food and sandals for him and left the bag next to him.

I imagine him waking up and finding himself covered in new blankets with water, food and sandals near him.

18. Good deeds are never wrong.

We have quite a few homeless on the beach here on the Island. I believe the police aren't allowed to chase them out. Over the years my husband has dropped off clothes of his/mine for them. Of course, many of the upper class righties are mad as hell about the whole situation. Show me what you do/don't do and I'll show you who you are . . .

21. In Egypt, there are 6 million refugees or migrants.

I met a 17-18 year old girl , kicked out of 2 homes by her remarried parents and their new spouses. I didn’t know it but I was her bank for a while.

Lebanon is way more packed. Then, there’s Turkiye, Iran, Bangladesh each hosting quite a few refugees.
