Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
SPOTTED: A young girl who spent her morning walking around downtown with Christmas gift bags giving them to homeless people. All I got a chance to see was that she was in a black coat and had blonde hair. I saw her give one homeless man a gift while saying merry Christmas and then sat and had a conversation with him and his dog. After she left I asked the man if he knew her and he said no but the card said her name is Kristina but no last name. He referred to her as the angel he has been praying for. When I asked what was in the gift bag he showed me a $20 mcdonald gift card, a pair of gloves, 2 pairs of socks, and a hat. What a beautiful act of kindness during the Christmas season. You inspired me to do something kind so I paid for the man's coffee behind in the tim hortins drive thru on my way home from work. I know it's not a big gift but every bit helps right? Thank you Kristina. I hope you see this post
Today was incredible! Sgt Andrew Moxley and I (Sgt Matt D'Asti) were assisting with the distribution of over 5500 lbs of donated food and toys from our annual stuff a cruiser event. We took a break and attended a Tim Horton's drive through (6605 Tecumseh Rd E). When we drove up to pay for our order we were told that the woman in front of us (Silver Pick Up) paid. We got out of our marked vehicle to speak to her to tell her she did not have to do that. She insisted on it "for the things police do in our community." We decided to pay it forward and paid for the vehicle behind us. We both want to thank you once again for your random act of kindness. THANK YOU! You have been spotted! :) And a huge thanks to the community for your support of our stuff a cruiser event. 5 cruisers and a record of over 5500lbs of food. Windsor, you always come through.
I received a call from the OPP yesterday afternoon that my father had been in a car accident and was at the hospital.....I immediately went to the emergency dept to be with him....we spent all afternoon and evening waiting to be admitted for tests....while waiting at the hospital I received a phone call from a gentleman named "John Darling or dowling" (I apologize if I am wrong. .it was hard to hear while in the emergency room) ....he was calling to find out how my father was. I immediately thought he was a friend of my father's checking on him. .. it turns out he was the first person at the scene of the accident and he just wanted to make sure my father was okay....i was shocked and touched at the same time that this man took the time to follow up with me...it was very heartwarming to hear that someone that didn't even know my father wanted to make sure he was okay..and took the time to follow up later that evening ... if you read this John please know that you put a smile on my dad's face and brought tears to my eyes..thank you for being so caring ...I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
To the construction worker, on Wyandotte street east, who lovingly wrapped a deceased kitten, in his sweater, and removed it off the street, to avoid further decimation, please know, someone saw you... You, sir, are a real man.
thank you so much to the 2 ladies at the food court at the Devonshire Mall today. I left my purse on the seat...with money, credit card and all my ID in it. I went back about 15 mins. Later and the ladies had found it and given it to security. So nice to see that honest people do exist, you made my day. I was very stressed when I realized I left it and thought for sure it was never to be seen again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
While out for dinner with three friends this evening at Kelsey's we were approached by two little girls and their mother
We were they handed our dinner bill showing paid in full with a note on the back wishing us a happy holiday and a Merry Christmas, You left very quickly and we didn't get the opportunity to give you a proper thank you
While I am sure you did not do it for the recognition we wanted to acknowledge your kindness and the wonderful example you're setting for your children showing them the joy of giving both during the Christmas holidays and the rest of the year
Your kindness has inspired us to follow your lead and continue to pay it forward
Good people make good things happen and we wish you and your family all the best and a very Merry Christmas
I want to shout out the young boy, about 5-7yrs old, with brown hair and a blue coat that sat near my friends and I at Costco today, about 6:30-7pm. He sat patiently while his parents got his food, and then when my friend dropped her purse (twice) he ran over right away to pick it up and place it on the table for her. It was such a simple act, yet it is so rarely seen. Later on, his mother noticed an infant climbing out of their seat in the family's cart and right away notified the parents. It was clear that the boys kindness came from loving parents that raised him with respect and manners! I hope if his parents see this, that they reward this kid with a little something special! From the girls sitting at the table in front of you :)
