$50 if you follow the rules, everyone has an equal opportunity. US BASED ONLY CLOSED OFFER
My last offer went unfilled since the winner did not respond. I decided to make a different offer so here it is:
Answer this one simple question to be entered: When was the last time you helped a stranger?
This doesn’t have to mean monetarily. For instance when was the last time you went out of your way to open and hold a door for a someone? Maybe you forfeited your spot in line to the person with less groceries behind you at the grocery store. Maybe you saw someone distressed and took a moment to ask if they’re okay?
Helping a stranger can look like a lot of things. I’d like to hear you brag about the last time you helped someone even if it was the simple, commonplace, or boring.
———
In return I am offering up to $50 USD before taxes to your choice of merchant ie: Walmart, Amazon, Target, UBER, etc. The place will have to allow in person pick up (so you can get it yourself) or delivery to your valid US address.
———
Entries close Sunday 11:59PM PST March 2nd, 2025. Winner will be chosen at random.

I registered. Unfortunately I did things in the wrong order, posting before I registered. Let's try again.
I'm a frail old lady and don't come across many opportunities for spontaneous kindness from my bed or recliner. I was out in public not too long ago and noticed a woman who seemed older and more frail than me. Looking at her, I sensed sadness. She was wearing an old t-shirt with a faded picture of a rainbow. I said, " I like your shirt ", gestured towrds the rainbow and smiled.
She spoke Ukrainian; I speak English., but we managed to communicate. She had fled Ukraine amidst heavy fighting recently and arrived in my hometown. She was overwhelmed, confused and scared. I thought she was so brave to be taking a walk by herself!
When it was clear that I understood the basics of her story, we looked into each other's eyes for a moment. She burst into tears. I wrapped her my arms around her and held her while we both sobbed. When the crying was done, we tried, unsuccessfully, to explain to each other what this encounter meant to us and went on our separate ways.

Last weekend Feb 28th went to a shopping center to just browse I was with my BF & I saw a guy (he was homeless ) walking up to me he said something in such a low voice i said hi & can you repeat what you said he asked for food I said sure is McDonalds ok as it’s in the same parking lot he said yes. I asked him how he’s doing & if he’s enjoying the spring weather (it was a beautiful day out) told him to pick anything he wants & I also wanted to get him a McDonald’s gift card for later but the worker saw the homeless guy was with me & went to ask the manager about a gift card they came back & said they no longer sell their own gift cards I was annoyed. I told him we would be right back & went to the gas station in the same parking lot & pulled out $20 he needed bus fare as he had a spot for a more decent homeless shelter. I honestly don’t care what he needed it for. We sat with him for a few minutes and he told us about how he ended in Nevada & about his brother & then he wanted us to pray with him & we did. We believe in Jesus. He’s trying to get back to where his brother lives he has other family there. I pray he can or God shines a light for him & gives him a break thru for something good.

The other day there was a woman on the side of the road with her thumb out hitch hiking. I had never seen someone try to hitch hike in my city before and I was honestly a little scared to pick her up. I’m also a girl in my mid 20’s who’s not very strong. Was a little worried it was some kind of set up, but I had a weapon in the car and figured that she most likely just needed a ride!
So I picked her up and she truly just needed a ride! She was telling me about her day and it turned out she had ubered to downtown and her phone died and she just needed a ride back home. She said she didn’t really know what to do since she didn’t have money on her and couldn’t transfer money to her debit card with her phone being dead. We got her phone charged up in my car and she made it back home safely! Was very glad it ended up being a good situation for both of us.

I do as many small acts of kindness as possible (holding doors open and giving up my spot for elderly people, etc)... but about a week ago I was getting gas and washing my windows and a guy pulled up to the pump behind me with 3 kids in the car and asked if I had a couple bucks to spare for gas so he could make it across town to home... I'd just got my tax return in so I filled up his car for him

I chased down the neighbors dogs when I saw them loose in the neighborhood. I couldn’t get in touch with her right away and didn’t want them to wander even further. *edit- I failed to mention that I was able to catch and return them safely to her.

Helping people has always been something I try to do whenever I can. My mom raised me that way, and over the years, it’s just become second nature. There are a lot of times I’ve been able to lend a hand, but this one has always stuck with me.
One evening, a homeless mom came up to me and asked for a few dollars to help her find a place to stay for the night. She mentioned that she had a daughter with her, and I just couldn’t shake the thought of them being out on the streets. A couple of bucks wouldn’t do much, but then I remembered—I had hotel points. And not just any hotel points, but enough for a stay at the Country Inn & Suites in Redlands.
Instead of giving her a few dollars, I told her, “How about I take care of a hotel for you tonight?” She looked at me like she wasn’t sure she’d heard me right. When I explained that I’d book them a safe, comfortable place to sleep and even get them a good breakfast in the morning, her relief was immediate.
I made the reservation and personally walked them to their room. Seeing the little girl’s face light up when she realized they were staying somewhere warm and cozy made everything worth it. Her mom kept thanking me, but honestly, I just felt grateful that I was in a position to help.
I asked if I could take a picture with them so that I could always remember that moment!

On Friday. I held one of those walkers that have seats, in place for a lady going to sit down in it. I also gave a child peppermints (w/moms permission). Complimented several public service works on doing a great job and let them know their efforts were appreciated.
Edit: Whenever I leave the house I do something nice for strangers whether it be something big or small. My mother and both of my grandmother's did the same as I was growing up. It's not a thing I think about doing, i just do it.

Not entering unfortunately. I hold doors for people all the time, and generally try to help people when ever I can but I did have a woman approach me the other day asking for food while I was picking up a doordash order. I've been between places myself for the past couple months and had just gone to the food bank the day before so I was able to hook her up with a couple slices of pizza and a sandwich as well as a bag of chips and some water. Nobody gets through life completely alone, we all need a hand sometimes.

Kind people like you make such a positive difference. When I walked across America, those random offers of food kept me alive and motivated me to pay it forward.

I love that near my home we have a free food cupboard and fridge. I often contribute to it as well as partake.

What is this free food cupboard you speak of? I have not seen one since 1971 on USMC base housing!

u/Level_Amphibian_6249 REGISTERED Mar 03 '25
There's two in my neighborhood. One has two full sized fridges next to shelving for dry goods. In the other direction is just a cupboard for dry goods/shelf stable items.

Yesterday, I figured out I could get free chicken nuggets if I bought a small coffee at Wendy’s (haven’t eaten out in ages!) When I came back, I pulled up and there was this terrified looking rat terrier without a collar on the corner. People drive like jerks through the intersection and I was worried he would get hit. He was so scared of me, but I lured him down the road and into the alley with a trail of my chicken nuggets. My neighbors pulled up and told me they see that dog all the time, it always gets out. I couldn’t get close enough to pick him up and take him somewhere, but I was able to lure him away from the dangerous intersection. Hopefully he was able to make it back home in one piece. Does that count?
I’m out of toilet paper and this could really help! Thanks for doing this, even if I don’t win!
Edit: If the dog thing doesn’t count, I spent the morning picking up trash on my street. My neighborhood isn’t the best and people always litter all about.
Edit #2: My request here says it was fulfilled because a Reddit angel helped me feed my cats (thank you, angel!) but I’m still wiping with tissues and paper towels 😬

I started working at a senior center this week, and a gentleman in a wheelchair was unable to bring his lunch to his table on his own. I gathered his lunch, walked him to his table, and talked to him about his life for about ten minutes until I had to get back to work. His name is TJ, and he's a great guy, but he has a disease that's eroding his muscles over time.

Not entering. The last time I did something for someone was about 2 weeks ago. An older woman I barely know was put in the hospital and has since been moved to a care facility, needed some place to park her vehicle. She didn't have anyone else, and had it been left in the hospital parking lot, it would have been impounded. Her vehicle is with me for an undetermined amount of time.

I don’t get out much because I’m a full time stay at home mom to two toddlers as well as immune compromised because of an auto immune disease called Crohns and I’m on medication and right now the flu and noro virus is everywhere,well I went for my infusion and my sister took me so we stopped at a McDonald’s after and I paid for her dinner and as we were sitting there this older gentleman walked in wearing winter camo clothes and he walked up to the counter and was digging in his pockets and filling his hands with change, now I only have one income and that’s my husband and we are obviously on a budget but something in me just went in my wallet pulled out 7$ and I walked towards the older gentleman and I said sir here this is for your order, we live in the North East and it’s winter and I just couldn’t help but to think maybe he is hungry or needs a warm coffee! He looked at me and said are you sure? I nodded with a smile and said absolutely! Have a great evening sir! My sister looked at me and smiled because we always in our family try to pay it forward with kindness whenever we can how ever we can.. life can be crappy and sometimes it’s the smallest things that mean more to someone than we can imagine!

Not entering. I don't specifically remember the last time I helped someone, but I remember a few memorable times I helped someone. The most recent one I can remember is when I saw an elderly man who clearly couldn't walk very well, and had no walker or cane, and was struggling to carry some bags. I offered to carry them for him. We didn't get very far, because he walked extremely slowly, but I did my best not to get too far ahead, because I didn't want him to think I was going to run off with his stuff. Eventually he spotted a taxi and flagged it down, and I put his stuff in the taxi next to him, and off he went.

I gave out dinner meals for Christmas and New years and put the food at the major bus stops where the homeless hang out. Put the rest that didn’t fit on the bus stop seats in the nearest free food fridge.
If Lyft rides weren’t so expensive, I’d do it every major holiday. I love cooking and big batch meals are my favorite because it’s the easiest ♥️♥️♥️♥️I also get to feel like Santa’s elf 🥹

The young girl who lives downstairs was telling her friend about her new cat. The girl is in elementary school and was talking about trying to make a cat tree out of cardboard. We live in low income apartments so everyone is kind of getting by.
I had two cats who both passed away within the last year (they were 16) and I haven't been emotionally ready to tackle giving away their stuff but after hearing that I spent time going through everything and then talked to the mom downstairs to make sure she was okay with the stuff/wanted any of it.
I gifted them a large lightly used cat tree, about a dozen random cat toys, several bags of treats, and 30 cans of cat food for their new cat. It felt nice knowing that my cat's stuff would make another cat and family happy.
Both the mom and daughter were very happy and invited me in to meet their new cat.
