What random acts of kindness have you been the recipient of?

    Lovely idea @66Mustang!

    It's lovely to hear the gaming community is so great to each other still @Biblioklept and that last story is so sweet, I wish you could've gone though!

    I used to be a keen fishkeeper and started up a marine tank so I could keep corals. A friend I met via Youtube sent me her old LED light fixture (From the USA) as she knew I'd just lost my job. The thing cost £200 and she just sent it to me for free. I was utterly blown away by the generosity.

    That's all really sweet @Biblioklept :blush:

    I think when you are the recipient of kindness it makes you feel better above and beyond the material/time value of what the person spent on helping you. Like if someone puts in 15 mins of their time and £5 to buy a gift when you are feeling down, you think about it for years

    The scenario i'm about to say has happened more than once, but it really means so much every time:

    Families at theme parks helping me through anxiety attacks when my carers can't/aren't with me at that moment.
    Happened twice at thorpe park, once in the mirror maze because of sensory overload and me standing in the wrong place, and once in the que to swarm because there was a ride delay setting off a crazy lady threatening to hurt others in the que.
    Both times (different families) it was a mum with her kids who told the kids to go meet up with their dad, and walked me to the exit, then did breathing exercises with me. They even gave me a hug, which meant a lot and helped me calm down quick <3
