random helpfulness & to an amazing degree !

20190926 1255 @ Dollarama on Ottawa Street ..... - Talk About Paying It Forward !!!
After offering a man & woman the option to go ahead of me (since I had a cart full of items that were definitely going to take the lone cashier quite awhile to ring up), I was absolutely blown away by the young gentleman's generosity in reciprocating & just being an extremely nice guy ! In passing I had mentioned to both of them that I'd already missed the bus I intended to take and I had plenty of time before the next one, AND OUT OF NO WHERE he asked me, and to my great surprise how far I was going. Not far I told him, just to Parent Ave & Ottawa St, and here it comes folks. HE OFFERED TO GIVE ME (a handicapped person I must add) A RIDE HOME ! As I paid for everything he told me he'd be waiting out front when I was done. Sure enough as I left we connected again and we walked half a block to his car, introducing each to the other along the way. I had A LOT of purchases, A LOT !!!), and as heavy as they were he was quite happy to make room in his trunk for my 2 wheeled shopping cart as well as 2 large shopping bags - all stuffed to the brim ! Some extra room even had to be made in both the back & front seat areas to get me (along with a car seat, some toys, etc) into the car so we could be on our way. - and 6 blocks later I was home ! AND having had quite a bit of help I was (there's no other word for it) THRILLED that he had saved me a considerable amount of pain, as well as bus fare, and after offering him what it would have cost me to take a cab which he'd refused, I felt it was best to just offer a VERY HEARTFELT THANK YOU !
I'm not disclosing names here but I will say this: we need lots more Bulgarian people like this man ! AND we should all follow his example too !
I offer this married father of 2 (older boy, and a younger girl) a VERY BIG THANK YOU !

Something all readers might be interested in, 23 years ago I did almost exactly the same thing for an elderly woman that was having a hard time walking in deep snow to get to the A& P (showing my age aren't I) downtown.

Being a good person pays off. Maybe not soon, maybe not for a long time to come, but it does.
And the same thing applies in reverse too, Karma eventually comes around !

Thanks Mr. P.and as I said when you dropped me off your family should be VERY PROUD of DAD, and you can be sure that I'll PAY IT FORWARD !

I would just like to give recognition to the staff at Windsor Allergy and Asthma clinic. While waiting for my appointment today there was a medical emergency. I know they were just doing their jobs but I would just like to give the staff a huge thank you for the way they handled everything. The entire team from the secretary to the nurses and Dr.s all stepped in to help calmly and efficiently. The lady was in very capable hands until the ambulance arrived and I hope and pray you are okay you seemed to be alert by the time EMS had arrived. I know it is thanks to the exceptional team work from all the Allergy staff who helped! She was in the best care possible because of your dedication to being focused on her in a time of need!

Thank you for the act of kindness

Thank you so much to the lady in front of us at Tim Hortons this morning. We were in the drive thru and my kids always ask if we can pay for the people behind us. We usually do but today when we drove up to the Window we had a surprise. The person ahead of us paid for our order, and I'll tell you that was totally unexpected. My order was just over 12 dollars and I couldn't believe someone paid for it. I gave the cashier the money I was going to pay for my order and the next order and had her use it on the next few orders. Thank you so much for adding that much more excitement to our Tim Hortons visit.

Accident Help

I had a car accident on Buckingham today where I was 100% at fault. Although I sustained minor injuries, the care I received from EMS and surrounding neighbors were gracious & compassionate! One neighbour provided me with a bottle water. Another walking by was the first on the scene and made sure I was alright! I wish I had gotten your names. A gentleman (Al) from the area called police and ambulance on my behalf. He helped my daughter empty personal belongings from my vehicle and provided us with a ride home afterwards. The owner of the vehicle I hit was calm & showed concern for my wellbeing! EMS gave me excellent care (blood pressure & EKG) All results were clear! I sustained minor injuries to my sternum! I am grateful to you all. Your help and concerns eased my shell shocked nerves which kept me calm and free from distress! Thank you my neighbouring Windsorites!

What's the rule here?

Yesterday morning I was heading south on Gladstone and there was a school bus on Erie stopped right before the intersection with doors open and flashers on. I stayed at the stop sign even though I was proceeding straight ahead until the bus finished loading. Was that the proper thing to do?apparently not according to the cars behind me but I feel that the safety of children is more important than rushing somewhere. What's the law there? I have no idea.

Accident on tecumseh rd

To the women who took charge at directing traffic at the accident on tecumseh @12:30pm today I was trying to give you a complement but I think you took it the wrong way. I was impressed with how you took charge of the scene especially since you were just a bystander. I told the passenger In my vehicle as soon as I seen you take charge how that right there is a person you want working for you. You were amazing. Hope you see this.
