I was driving out from Costco and I saw the homeless man who stands on the corner there asking for work to earn money. I rolled down my window and I told him to come over. He came up, I reached in my pocket and handed him a $50 bill. He started saying "thank you" but gasped halfway through. He said "Are you sure?!" I said "Absolutely...you need to take care of yourself too." Through a shaky voice he said "Bless you ma'am!" I said "You stay safe" and I pulled up to the stoplight and looked in the side mirror as he returned to his corner. He then folded his sign and turned away from the line of cars behind me and I could see he was crying. Remember that there are people out there with no place to go and no resources. Help where you can!

This doesn't surprise me. The Nepalese people are very generous and welcoming. If I had to be stuck somewhere, Nepal would be a pretty good place!

A lot of us don't realize how important internet access is. The other day, bad storms blew through my town and knocked out not only my power but also my Internet service. Power was restored in a few hours, but I had to summon a technician to restore my Internet connection. Normally, I would go to the nearby library - walking distance, yay - and use their service; but thanks to COVID-19 they were closed so I had to mooch off a nearby McDonald's. I did buy some coffee there, though.

My Great-Uncle visits his wife every day. She's in an Assisted Living facility as she has Alzheimer's, so he can't go in right now for safety reasons. That doesn't stop him from showing his endearing love

I bought a bunch of masks and then discovered I had leftover from when I was caring for my mother in law. So I donated what I bought to the local EMT's. They said they had enough..but then said that the Sheriff's department had been running low on gloves and masks. Don't forget about first responders. Crimes still happen during a lockdown and they have no choice but to run into the fire sometimes.

Bosnia and Herzegovina. More discipline than 1st world countries
Anja 6 years ago
Not that we mind being called Serbia, but that is a picture of my city of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The picture was posted by our mayor to thank people for working with the city to contain the virus. We are actually doing good, people follow the rules a lot, not many are sick and people who lost their jobs or need help are being taken care of. Our government is, for once, doing a really good job.

That was wonderful of those people, but how does it show there to be a God (or gods and goddesses - as billions of people also believe)? It shows that people can be benevolent, but boy do we all examples of how people can be awful, and we know people can be all things in between.

My amazing cousin! She normally works in the Telemetry (cardiac) unit of the hospital but they have her working the ICU. One of our local restaurants provided her shift with dinner through a GoFundMe page. I'm so proud of her and every healthcare worker

I have had these from being a welding inspector. I am currently on my way to take them to the hospital so they can use them. Since I am currently laid off I have been cleaning up my garage and found them. I wasn’t hoarding them, I just pick up a pack when I go to a new job because sometimes you go somewhere and they don’t have them. Your supplies are needed by others folks. We all have to chip in and do our part

I actually read somewhere that an elderly priest in Italy refused a ventilator saying that the younger people still had lives to live. He died the next day.
