Only Child

Loner

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I like to go in pharmacy waiting lines behind elderly people, drop a five or ten or twenty if I can by their side then pat them on the arm and tell them it fell from their coat, pocketbook, whatever. Living on fixed incomes for them is so hard. I know, my grandmother had to.

Why are you participating?:

It is too easy to dismiss good people or good people who commit acts of kindness because of their appearance, their education level, amount of money they make or lack of interest in social scenes. Everyone is capable of goodness, even the one's that don't "look" like it.

Only Child

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I take care of my family when they don't feel good. I always make my Great Great (Great grandmother) smile when I sing and dance for her. She is 86 years old. I got $5 for doing a good job and I gave it back to someone who needed it for their family.

Why are you participating?:

I want to have lots of friends.
