With all the bad news and negativity during this time of crisis, I'm confident that some of us have experienced kind words and deeds from our fellow human beings.
I'd like to start a post documenting common (or uncommon) acts of kindness amid the chaos.
Please share your experiences here. I'm sure there are many. I'll start with a video.
Creativity and Kindness amid Coronavirus Pandemic
Music, humor, scripture, uplifting quotes and stories are all welcome here.
Just no negativity. (There is plenty of that on other threads.) We can get through this with faith, hope, love, and good cheer.

I made a delivery the other day and got a $20 tip. Way beyond anything normal.
I am sure the person was just being kind knowing that anyone making deliveries right now needs the money. I appreciated it.
i like to be kind by buying all the toilet paper in a store, so that other people won’t have to fight over it because there isn’t any left to fight over-
I like to do my part-
j/k good article-
My son-in-law has been going to the store for us, since I have a check in every risk-factor box.
I got a call from my neighbor the other day. She and her husband were going to the grocery store, and wanted to know if I needed anything. They had never done anything like that before.
In my job I’ve seen family members buying computers and tablets for their elderly parents so they can see and talk to eachother during lockdown or for friend’s kids to do school from home. I saw a business owner donate over $9000 of equipment to a school so students could continue studying safe at home. What I love the most is seeing people supporting their family members because I didn’t get to experience that with my family.
From the north, but have lived in the south.
In the south, when there is need, people answer the call.
It’s a Christian thing.
Three of us neighbors have set up a “market” in an enclosed gazebo and invited the block to come and “shop”. It contains things we all can share, like puzzles, games, books, toilet paper, craft supplies, videos, seeds and even a little food. Other neighbors are also contributing. All have been disinfected, and only one family at a time in the “shop”. We figure kids have played out their own stuff and even adults could use a new distraction. I have the coolest neighbors.
