My car stalled on 33 outside of Indian Lake. I called AAA and they were sending a tow truck. Another car pulled up and offered to help. We told them a tow truck was coming, so he left. 15 minutes later, the same guy showed up with hot coffee for me and my passengers. Much appreciated, cause it was chilly!

Krista, a medical assistant for OSU Neurology in Columbus, went above and beyond in helping me with answers to my questions and doing everything to make sure my appointments were met. Very nice, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Krista !

We were out with a group of friends at the Downtown Lima Jamboree. We had several drinks at the Bar BQ place and when we went to pay our tab, we were told it had been taken care of. We asked who paid and they said it was a Buckeye fan, who was glad our group was mostly dressed in scarlet and grey. O -H....

They just made 20,000 hungry people a little bit happier today ! Great work, Leipsic Methodist Church and the community volunteers. Amplifying Kindness

I cooked at the Fairgrounds during the week of Max’s and shared with the campers next to us. They were always appreciative but they ended up buying this sign for my smoke shack at home. Kindness full circle.

Kindness Alert - Touch of Europe Bakery Downtown Lima. I was sent by my wife on a "super special mission". Find some kinda bread with a crunch, for dipping in her homemade veggie soup. I thought I would be in time to get a delicious, crunchy loaf of something, but I just missed out. Sold out !!!! ( Gotta get there early, folks) To the rescue, Neli To, owner and "super hero" ! She wraps up some panini bread and said "Here try this, on the house...should crisp up nicely" Long story short, the panini bread crisped up just fine and my mission was successful, thanks to the quick and very kind efforts of Neli To and Touch of Europe Bakery !

I had a great experience at the post office so I completed the survey and told them about my experience and gave acknowledgment to the lady who waited on me.
