Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Checking on the Neighbors


--by mindyjourney, posted Nov 11, 2020
After ringing her doorbell, I left these treats along with a few magazines in my neighbor's mailbox.

I'm pretty sure she was home. She is recently widowed, with two small foster children she is in mid-process of adopting.

I respect her privacy. She has much to process and knows I am here for her support.
