I was reading recently that someone said that this wasn't, "A kind world." I'm certain that is not true, because it's not that kindness doesn't exist, it's that it is a part of every day life and it's not always visible to everyone. This is a great story that I read about recently from Texas.
A crossing guard, Trecia Crawford, for the Moss Haven Elementary School had been without a working car for five months. She was getting to work by using Lyft and then using a bus. When the non-profit organization, The Mott Haven Elementary Dad's Club, found out, they started a fundraiser and raised $6,800. One of their members owns a dealership and he was able to find the right car and sell it at an extreme discount. Part of the group is pictured below with Trecia and her new car.
Trecia is always at her job and has a great relationship with many of the students. One member of the group said, "She probably knows more parents by their first name than most people." There are crossing guards, doormen, cashiers, receptionists, servers, and people in customer service who go out of their way to be kind on a daily basis-make sure you thank them when you get their special kind of kindness.
I have shared the quote by Scott Adams many times: "Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end."
