Many years ago, when my then-teenaged sister had her first job, she was super-excited to go Christmas shopping with her own money for the first time. I took her to the mall and when we got inside she realized with horror that she had left her wallet sitting on top of my car. We raced back out but it was gone, of course. She was devastated, but tearfully refused my offer of loan. The next day I took fifteen $20 bills, put them in a card, had a co-worker sign it from Secret Santa (she would recognise my handwriting), and mail it from his own town so that she wouldn't see a familiar postmark. She was astonished when it arrived, and accused me of the deed...which I vehemently denied. That was an awesome, magical Christmas and after 40 years she still doesn't know...and she never will!
"In high school, I started a Compliments page for my school on Facebook. People would write in compliments about each other and I’d post them anonymously. I was deeply depressed and wanted to make a positive impact in my community when I felt really powerless. I never told anyone who was behind it, but knowing the kindness people showed their friends and classmates was really special and solidified my faith in humanity when I was at a real low point in my life."
