What is the most generous thing you've ever done for somebody?

A few years ago, I won 500 in the lottery and after cashing in my ticket, I needed to find some place to sit and get warm while waiting for my bus to go home, (it was winter). Looking around i saw a small diner, went inside and ordered a cup of coffee. While sitting there, I over heard a conversation between two women where one said tomorrow she was going to have her gas turned off because she didn't have the money to pay the bill and she was crying quietly where no one could hear her. She said she tried all of the organizations, friends and reletives but no one could help her and her friend said she wished she could help but couldn't. Well, I sat there taking all this in and trying to decide what to do, knowing my bus was coming in about 5 minuts, I jumped up, paid for my coffee, then ran up to that woman and asked how much did she need to save her gas, with a startteled look she said 90 dollars, and asked how did I know about her gas? I noticed my bus was coming down the street and didn't want her to know I was easedropping, so I just said, I am Santa Clause, Merry Christmas and handed her two 100 dollar bills and ran out the door to catch my bus that was starting to leave. I made the bus and when I looked back, that woman was looking out the window at me waving with a big smile on her face! Christmas was only two weeks away and I felt I did the right thing, It gave me a good feeling deep down in my heart!

I saw a homeless person on a bench on a cold day. I went to Wawa and got them coffee and some food, and then went back and gave it to them.  I don't know if this is heroic, but it made me feel good.

Most kind of you to say PPk!\n\nAt the beginning I almost gave up on finding anyone in here that had more than just a couple of brain cells functioning at the same time. But slowly, here and there, I began to find myself reading a few rare gems offered up by some very knowledgable individuals, occasionally even some deeply wise ones, too. But of course those are somewhat rare. However, the one person whose thought process and whose sense of charity has impressed me the most has been you. When you have something to say you really put it out there and I can certainly appreciate that kind of generosity of spirit when I encounter it.\n\nNow, who should you give the 10 points to for this question?  I say give it to the wisest speaker, of course...  today that's Boss!!

My husband and I "adopt" an angel from the salvation army angel tree and buy a gift like a new bike, for a underpriviledged child. That is what brings us the greatest happiness is that knowing how happy that child must have been on christmas morning, along with the joy of seeing the excitement of our little girl.

YES! I try to help anyone when ever it is feasible.I have been that homeless person many years ago, and if it wasn't for people's kindness and generosity, I could still very well be there today. It's karma to help people whenever it is in your power to do so.

Thank Him (or Her...) by living a good life, and giving back to those around you - by helping those less fortunate than you.

Why don't you give a gift card, like to Wal Mart or a grocery store,  to someone  less fortunate than you?  Grab a couple of cards off of your local Angel Tree. Sweetie, you will feel so good about yourself if you volunteer somewhere or something.  Maybe you could pay for someone's gas at a gas station?  Any little gesture like that can make you feel so good about yourself. And it'll make the other person you help feel good too.  I volunteer once a month to help out at the local mission serving food to others. You can meet some amazing people there and maybe you can help them some other way as well.  Good luck to you. God Bless!

I once helped a friend and her 19 year old daughter out when they became homeless.  They were living in their car.  During this period I paid their car insurance, fed them,  loaned them money and let them spend the night a few times.\n\nI asked them to Thanksgiving Dinner, they came, they ate, they stayed 5 weeks.  When they left they never said a word of thanks \nNot one single word................\n\nI stood in the driveway waving bye........3 months later they asked to stay with me again?  My responce was, I can give you a couple bucks but I really don't want house guests right now.\n\nI think I would have agreed, if they had at least said "thanks" for all the help I had given before. Doing favors and helping out  friends is just something you do.  But I think the level of kindness becomes burdensome without appreciation.

Thank them then chuck it away, I know it's the thought that counts but obviously very little thought (if any) went into that gift ... Actually, donate it to charity, make an unfortunate person smile :-)

After 16 years I finally got to meet my daughter this year. We spent yesterday making Thanksgiving dinner for the rest of the family together. \n\nI am so grateful for her, for my family, and for the amazing gift of life.
