I don’t think I have ever done anything kind.

But if I have, then maybe it was take small honey cookies and pretty peckalach to old ladies in nursing homes Erev Rosh Hashana and wish them a good new year with my little girls in tow.

Once a lady who stopped to ask me for tzedakah and I took her on a shopping spree for everything she needed from the market to pampers. I had to stop though when it was obvious she was really taking me for a ride after she started down the toy isle of the pharmacy and needed rubber bouncy balls and expensive drinking cups for toddlers.

Once I bought the fabric and sewed up little girl dresses for a lady who arrived from another country so her girls would have pretty tznius dresses for summer. I also use to buy all her children outfits and shoes.

One time in the snow we created a tomchei shabbos on our own. We loaded a sled with a box full of food for a family who really didn’t have. Literally close to nothing. We shlepped it to them and then rang the bell and ran. My daughter just caught the last words she heard the little girl cry “Mommy look,,,,fleish…fish….beans!!!!”
