1. I added some of my own money and gave it to people who were assisting in the relief effort for Hurricane Ike.

2. I used the $5 to buy two cards. I sent one to the priest who is marrying my son because the priest has been in poor health and one to my estranged sister. In my sister’s card I included a lot of pictures of my daughter through the years. I hope it will help mend the rift between us. Thanks Emily-Marcia  

3. I went back to work in the Galveston office but several of my coworkers are still stuck in satellite offices. A group came by to pick up some things they needed to do their jobs in the temporary offices. I spent the $ buying soft drinks for the bunch. Linda

4. I live in Kosse TX and I gave $5.00 to the community center to help purchase food for those still coming in for meals, due to hurricane Ike. Angie

5.  After the storm, there was a lot that I couldn't do by myself.  I asked my regular yard men if they could cut the trees down, normally, they charge quite a lot for anything extra.  This time they answered with a generous heart and agreed to cut down 3 trees and clear an entire sidewalk covered in shrubs for $30.00!  I couldn't believe it!I decided to use my $5.00 to give this family something extra for their "show of kindness".

6. When I was in Shanghai, I converted my $5 to 30 RMB. I kept it in coins and handed it out to all the homeless people or disabled people who were begging in the park. I was able to help a lot of people this way. I wasn't able to tell them to pass it on but I am sure my acts of kindness will spur other acts of kindness in the future.


7. I used it to reward my Womens group by bringing them some pastries. The group is a spiritual book discussion group but has become a support group, a place to turn for prayers and a group of friends. I enjoyed sharing your gift with them. Cheryl

8. .I could not wait to give it a try. I personally went to my church the following morning after reading Emily's story and give the cashier at the little coffee shop inside $5.00 and asked that it pick up the tab for the next few people that came in.  When I went in for coffee this morning ( my daily routine) I was surprised to find that MY coffee had already been paid for ! In fact, probably the next 15 folks that came in would be paid for because my gift that was given just 3 days ago had tripled !  Amazing.

9. I recently visited China with my family and wanted to do a good deed there.My step-dad knew of a man who had cerebal palsy and due to his disability he was reduced to begging. He didnt speak English so we had a note translated for him, telling him about this project and how we were giving him a gift today but we wanted him to pass on a kindness to someone else whenever he was able. I really think he appreciated this because it reminded him that even though he doesnt have money to spare, he could pass on an act of kindness to someone else.
