I was just surprised by a lovely little girl, her siblings and her mom who gave me , a senior some cookies to brighten up this rainy day.  They are #392 and I appreciated both meeting them and their warm gift.

I took Sofia to the library this afternoon to play 'Bingo'.  There were five children playing the game.  When 'bingo' was achieved, the child won a prize.  Sofia won two rounds of the game (so she got two prizes).  All the children won a prize except for the boy sitting next to Sofia.  We were on the last game and Sofia was close to winning again.  She told me that if she won she would let the boy next to her have her prize.  A minute later, the boy won after all!

My name is Wes, and I am currently touring the country in the Broadway tour of Jersey Boys. While in Tampa, FL, I received an awesome care package from Lincoln K.! It had chewy candies (which I love), a Star Wars notebook, Easter egg bubble blowers, and my favorite- some Keurig K Cups!
It was a great surprise from my favorite 7 year old in Maplewood, NJ! I'll be thinking of someone to Pay It Forward to soon.

I received an anonymous, very welcomed packet of chocolate miniatures yesterday, with a little note that said," To sweeten up your day".  What a pleasant surprise! It did, sweeten up my day, and I was able to share it with one of the Tuscan library volunteers.  Someone (I did manage to figure out who it was) thought about me in the middle of her very hectic, busy life.  Thank you so much.  I am inspired to pass on this act of kindness in the very same way.  - Mrs. Baltin

Brooke, Natalie, and Jill S.  offered to give me a ride home after babysitting for them so that I wouldn't have to walk home. It saved me time and was very helpful even though it took away time for them to play and do other things that they had to do.  - Aly S.

Two kids had a scheduled play date and when another child showed interest, JB successfully advocated to include her other friend in the activities.  -  Twanda B.

When I visited my daughter and her family, my grandson, Damian, gave up his room and bed for my total comfort. He was kind, gracious, and insistent that I should be accommodated in every way. It should be noted that he is 11 years old and almost as tall as my daughter, and acted in a modest, unassuming manner.

When I was too busy to leave the office during work my coworker went out to get lunch for me without my asking. It helped me get through the rest of the day!

Hi , I am a retired elementary teacher so I appreciate projects like this.  I am presently in Cape Coral, Florida.  You can call me a Snow Bird, because I will be heading back to Grosse Ile, Michigan shortly My summer home is in Michigan and my winter home is in Florida. 
My pay it forward act was to make a big Easter Basket for some little girls that came down to visit their grandfather.  Normally, their grandmother would have an Easter basket for them here in Florida, but she passed away recently.
 
I got a nice note from the girls thanking me for the basket and how thrilled they were because their grandmother always had a basket for them when they got here.
I hope your project continues for a long time.  There can never be enough good deeds.

My cousin is a young single man whose job takes him out to sea for many months at a time. Damian made him a beautiful birthday card. This was time-consuming, but a very generous act for someone whom Damain has only met a few times.  It will make my cousin so happy on his birthday!
