Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The $100 Project Has Begun!


--by MakeSomeoneSmile, posted Jul 18, 2008

Hello everyone!

As you may have heard, you all helped make my helpothers $100 kindness idea a reality! I received the extra smile cards I needed and the $100 too. I went to the bank and got the 100 dollar bills I need for this. My project this weekend is to stuff all of the envelopes with the dollar and two smile cards, as promised. The outside of the envelope says only "A kindness for you" with a smiley face sticker on it (imagine that, ME with more than a 100 smiley stickers! :) ). Here is the note I am including with the cards:

May this make you smile. You can keep it or keep the kindness going by adding a dollar and giving it to someone else. Kindness is contagious! We would love to hear how you got this and what you did! If you would be so kind, please share with us at www.helpothers.org. Have a great day!

I hope some of the people come on and tell us there story. That would be awesome! I'll post something Monday after I give them out. My goal is to give them all out over the weekend so we can get this going. I'm very excited and can only hope this makes a small difference for some people! A special friend of mine who read the idea sent me money for this too so I will be giving out even more than the promised 100! I listed the original post on what I would do if I won below in case you missed it and I am staying true to my word!

A Dollar And A Chance To Pay It Forward!

I would put a dollar in 100 envelopes with 2 smile cards and these instructions: May this make you smile. You can keep it or keep the kindness going by adding a dollar and giving it to someone else. Kindness is contagious! I would give them to people anywhere I could anonymously. Those 100 people would smile and some will keep it going!
