My mission to help

Unread postby aquarius215 » 11 May 2014 04:22

I have had a lot of people, most of them random, who have helped me along the way. For the last 17 years, I have been a single mom and I don't drive (my vision sucks!) There was a woman who once saw me waiting to cach the bus with my son in the cold and she stopped her car and said "Next time it's so cold, take a cab" and pressed money iknto my hand. When she pulled away, I looked and she had given me a $50 bill! I have other sotries like that, but in the interest of space I'll just say that's why I started crocheting and donating toys to children's charities every Christmas since 2010. Every year I make something different and I always name my little "friends". This year I'm making baby puppets. It's so important to remember that there are a lot of people who have it worse than you and do what you can to help.

J and I believe in the pay it forward karma and like to do things for people when we can. I think it is awesome that you do that with your crocheting.

Paying it forward is such a great message to send to your son! I have the fish and the dogs you made me on display on a shelf. They make me smile every time I look at them! :smile: That is a great way to take something you enjoy doing and passing it on to someone else to make them happy.

My dad always pays for EMTs, firefighters, police officers, etc whenever he sees them having a meal in a restaurant. Always anonymous. Inspires me to do the same as best I can. Occasionally, I'll just randomly pick out someone or a family and pay for their meal. Always anonymous. The feeling I get is incredible too when you see the look on their faces. Was told once I started off a pay it forward moment that lasted all day by the restaurant owner. Try it! Even the smallest gesture has the potential to change a person's life. :comfort:


. . . just my fuel for my fire.
