A little more than $1 but still some good ideas!

I was cruising through my feeds and found this inspiring post on $100 Kindness Ideas at CharityFocus.

Having a softspot in my heart for homeless people, I liked the idea:

I want to take a $100 and using a paper clip, attatch $1 to a smile card with one of my own RAK cards. I want to stand on the street next to the panhandlers, and every person who stops to smile, give or just say hello to us, will get my small Gift. Just because. And hopefully it will inspire them to pay it forward.

There are many reasons that people want to avoid panhandlers.  The sight of someone begging on the streets conjures many uncomfortable emotions.  Being brave enough to offer a smile Edit HTMLcan be a huge thing.  Imagine how emboldened and awakened people would be by the kindness of this person offering dollars.  Just an AWESOME idea.

Drop by CharityFocus and read the other good idea.

Interesting idea...it never occurred to me to turn things around like that.
