Kindness begets kindness. So, wanted to create a space to share and amplify stories of kindness with the hope that it inspires a chain reaction.

Rebecca Callander

The kindest thing one of my fans has done is to buy my car off me, put a new engine in it and then give it back to me. This was last year when I posted a go fund me of me mowing lawns to raise money so I could perform at SXSW in Texas Austin in 2023. Read more>>

Weirdly enough, the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me is reject me. I know, it sounds crazy! I was about 43 at the time and had been going through a rough patch. Read more>>

There are several instances where people have done kind things for me, but I’d like to share a moment from Queer Prom, an event celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and providing a safe and inclusive Prom environment for those who may not have been able to attend their high school prom. Read more>>

The late great Art Laboe sat MC MAGIC and myself down one evening with Smokey Robinson, the evening before a performance in California. They both told us about believing in ourselves and knowing what we wanted to accomplish in the business. Read more>>

Rylee Chase

I’m Rylee! I was born 100% blind and deaf. Whoever my breeder was, dumped me because of my double merle traits. Wayside Waifs found me and I was recused by a lovely family and have been living the comfiest and happiest life ever since! Read more>>

Martha Van Inwegen

In the context of our business, I have to say that we are so grateful for every single first-time customer who buys our products. To me, that means another human has chosen to trust our products and give them a try. Read more>>

Harrison Kayne

I love this question. For my entire writing journey, I’ve been surrounded by kind and supportive people who helped me flourish. Kindness cultivated my stubborn determination to keep writing and improving despite any obstacles I’ve faced. Read more>>

Todd Muskopf

The kindest thing any of my clients can do for me is to go out on a limb and tell their friends how much they loved their experience with me. Those one-on-one referrals are more meaningful than any marketing I can do. Read more>>

Suzanne Davidson

I could tell you about my best friend who once hauled off and punched a boy on the bus who kept pulling my pigtails — standing up for me because I was too shy to tell him to quit. Read more>>

Melanie Johnson

As an undergraduate student, my mentor and his wife often asked me to house sit for them. I was living like the poor art student that I was, and the care-giving extended much more in my direction, as I’m sure they were both aware, Read more>>

Yaminee Patel

I moved to Seattle in 2021 for my very first full time job in tech. It was a leap of faith – I didn’t know anyone west of Kansas, let alone in the state of Washington, and I felt incredibly isolated for the first few months. Read more>>

Jonathan Tomashefsky

Held out their hand and offered to change my life. Also have had my best friends family pay my rent without telling me. People are really wonderful most of the time. I live by the shared values of people like Mr Rogers and Willie Nelson.  Read more>>
