k4k Contributors!

Lately, some fellow friends have been reaching out, wishing to participate in any way they can in this project of mine. These messages encouraged me greatly, so about a week ago, I made a call out to anyone interested in contributing - to further expand this ripple effect of kindness spreading. I asked them to send me a picture of their good deeds so I could share them with everyone. Every time I will get a new picture, I will update this post! All photos can be found on my Instagram: @geneseguin. #k4kcontributors

So here they are - their inspiring stories: 

1) Véronique - Bringing Food to a Soup Kitchen.

Submitted by Véronique, an old University classmate. 

Véronique selflessly brought carrots over to her neighbourhood's soup kitchen in Hull this week to help those who are less fortunate. Véro will also be doing some volunteering at this location. She is the definition of a good samaritan.

2) Marianne - Helping Out a Stranded Stranger. 

Submitted by Marianne, my brother’s girlfriend. 

Marianne was coming back from visiting her sister late one night and noticed this gentleman stuck on the side of the road. The man had run out of gas and didn't own a cell phone, so Marianne decided to drive back to her sister's place to get a canister of gas to help the poor man out. About 40 minutes later, the man's gas tank was filled with enough gas for him to get home safely. He offered money to thank her but she had a feeling he probably didn't have much to spare. Instead, she asked that he pay it forward. 

Funney enough, the man told her that earlier that day, he had seen a post on Kijiji from a woman in the area who had lost a ring for which she held a high sentimental value. He happened to have a metal detector so he set out to help her. After a lenghty search, the man found the ring and contacted the distressed woman in order to give it back to who it belonged. A classic tale of what goes around comes around.

3) Maxime - Heartfelt Homemade Cards to Coworkers.

Submitted by Maxime, a friend!

Maxime decided to write up some homemade card and distribute them to her coworkers as a sign of appreciation of the work they do.

Maxime will be joining me in my project and doing one act of kindness per week starting in November until the end of the year! 

I mean, how much more awesome can one get?
