The Kindness Campaign

[Melissa Madyson]

I always try to help people that are holding up a sign, because I never know if one day that could be me.

When I'm going into the donut shop if someone is outside asking for a donut I always try to buy it for them. I never turned anyone away for food.

Many years ago and I mean many like back in the 90s I took a homeless lady into my house she was coming from Florida I was a waitress in the French Quarter at Jimmy's Cafe, and she had on many layers of clothes. She needed a place to stay so I told her if she came back when I got off work she could come to my pad and crash. I told her she can stay the night and the next day we would find somewhere for her to go. I wound up letting her stay for 3 months at my residence her name is J.G.( cannot give her real name out) and I will never forget that lady. She knew the Bible like the back of her hand, and she said she used to be a union stripper whatever that meant LOL

She wound up getting government assistance and having it sent to my house. She stayed for 3 months she was not a bad roommate I gave her my bed I took her to my church and got her some new clothes, and I took her to the laundromat and the beauty shop to get her hair cut. If I had to do it all over again I would not hesitate in a minute to give up my residence to help someone in need.

Now fast forward to lately. During the Christmas holiday I gave a basket to someone in need to feed the family.

Yesterday I had a lady who I talk to over a year ago who is also a massage therapist on BP she called me up and was asking me all about the new rules and regulations and she talked my ear off for an hour and a half and I listened. I know it was a long time to be on the phone but I was her Lifeline so to speak she was having a rough go of it she was Middle Eastern.

As of this morning, I got up with a positive attitude to try and make something happen today and at least help one person along the way.

God bless,

I never post hurtful words about women I never met.

I had a gentleman who lives in New York who's coming to see me when he gets in town after my birthday trip, he was so kind, as to send me a birthday card with two $100 Visa cards inserted inside them for my birthday trip to New York on Wednesday. I have never met this gentleman but I do have to know that there are some kind people out there. That was a wonderful gesture. He overnighted them in the mail and paid almost $25 to ship them.

I saw a single mom in the grocery checkout line who was short on change. I gave it to her, looked at what she had chose for her daughter and herself. Suggested she go back and pick up a few more items, which I paid for. Her daughter called out to me in the parking lot, asking me for gas money. I handed her mom ten bucks, and was disappointed to see a cigarette in her hand when she took it. My boyfriend told me I should have paid for her gas at the pump but who am I to judge.

My favorite time I helped someone was two cute little girls in Walmart. They wanted to buy ice cream and had X amount of money to spend ( ended up being food stamps). I showed them how to read prices and find more ice cream for the money they had. I ended up giving them a few dollars, and later on they saw me in another isle. They told me they were going to buy "This Many" popsicle's because they could afford a bunch more. They were the sweetest kids I ever met.

I love helping people it's my favorite thing in the world. There's No Greater Joy than to be able to give back because people have gave me so many times in my life. As long as I live and breathe I will always try to be a positive role model to give to others.

I found $200 dollars (2 bills) in the aisle laying on the floor inside of Walmart
on a Saturday.

It was folded neatly with a drivers license.
I had one of the associates page the name on the DL's.
The young lady met me at the customer service area and I gave her her DL's and the $200.
She couldn't believe that I gave her everything...DL and the $200 dollars.

Ha!🤠 Annie
Don’t take St Christopher down so quickly as I’m usually cussing the dumb ass drivers on our streets!
It’s really nothing.
The Habitat is through my work.
I do the meal cards because I don’t give money to the guys who I see everyday at same intersection who seem to be able bodied. I give them the benefit of the doubt though and give them food or meal cards.
St Vincent was previously Bishop Stanley Ott shelter which I remember him as a child doing great things in the community. I will donate Walmart cards or under garements / toiletries for the guests.
My weakness is the folks at St Jude. I’ve been to Memphis and have seen first hand what they do. Allot of kids in our community are living testament of the hospital work.
I think it’s not about who does the most it’s more of giving what you can. The positive energy you put out will come back.
