I have a situation where thankfully people helped me out of the kindness of their hearts.
Back when we got the first falling of the snow that refused to stop, I had to go into work. I got into work fine and was able to leave before the main roads got to bad. I had forgotten to take into account CRE road conditions. Needless to say, I got stuck. Badly!
After being unable to get up the hill by the Post Office, I figured I would try to get up using the side road. I got stuck in the turn going up and then when I tried to back myself out of the situation, I came close to hitting a parked car and succeeded in getting stuck in a ditch.
Thankfully, the man who lived there got his son to help push me out and offered to help me get up the hill. After a few attempts, we all realized that it wasn't going to happen.
As luck would have it, a man in a white truck happened to be passing by and towed me up to the main road. I offered to pay the people who helped me but all of them refused.
If you are one of the people who helped me that day, thank you. It means a lot to know there are still decent and kind people out there.

We have an old(er) retired couple that lives across the street from us. Everytime it snows we make sure to at least clear their driveway (a very long driveway) so they can get in and out. If time permits we do the other two or three neighbors driveways too, but I'm really concerned about the old(er) couple going out and trying to shovel the snow themselves.
Last snowstorm was in school at SMHEC and two women drove their Toyota Camrys into the curb. Two flat right front tires. A friend and I cut class so we could change out their tires and get them on their way. One was frantically trying to reach her road side assistance with no luck, and the other had the facility manager looking for a compressor to re-inflate her tire that had the sidewall blown out. Crawling, lying and kneeling in 6 inches of snow while changing tires was actually a LOT of fun.

One of my favorite of favorites,
Last year some friends and I were making Irish music at a nursing home. (I play an Irish harp.) Afterwards, we heard there was a lady within a couple of days of death.
So I asked and received permission to play my harp for her. Poor soul could not speak, but the smile she gave me will live with me forever.
One of her family members came while I was playing - and asked whether I dropped down from heaven! Told him I couldn't be an angel - I have red hair, lol!

We always shovel out our elderly neighbor who is alone at home now. During the back to back blizzards, we shoveled out the first one. She became very ill. Got her to the doctors on the Tuesday where we had a break in the snow. She was given meds and told to rest. The next blizzard came in that night. Her illness still became pneumonia, but it held off long enough with the meds until the blizzards stopped and we got her shovelled out again to return to the doctor. Thank goodness, because an ambulance would not have made it into the neighborhood. We never had a plow come through, only bobcats when the storm was over with. She is well mended now and back on the run!
It only took me 5 minutes today, to shovel the last remainder of a pile of snow that was protruding out into a very busy corner, and for weeks had made it a little awkward for everyone to turn.
Last summer I saw a man walking in heavy rain on 301, pulled over and drove him to the WalMart (which was directly on my way) where he was to meet someone offering him a housepainting job. He said he was homeless, and the VanGo bus had failed to stop for him.
Occasionally in parking lots, I notice when people's tires look underinflated and I leave notes on their windshield. At grocery parking lots, I also take a few seconds to push shopping carts further into the carrels, or compress a few together so there's room for more. In restrooms, if a can is overflowing with paper towels, I'll quickly stomp on it with my foot to compress them so there'll be room to hold many more. This literally takes no time at all.

On way to work, helped a teenager change flat tire. Stopped to buy pastries for coworkers but gave to homeless guy standing on corner. Wrote a check for $200 for friend in need. Volunteered at coat closet after work. Just another day in life helping those who need it more than I...
