This week's Kindness Investor, Melinda, discovered the Year of Giving from an article in the Dayton Daily News.
It is funny how each day you try to find the perfect person to give $10 to. Today I was driving and saw Trey B. jumping through drifts of snow and I knew right then, that’s the man I’m going to give $10 to today. I turned around went to the next intersection and parked and waited on him to catch up.
At first Trey wasn’t too sure about me and kept his distance but quickly warmed up to me realizing I was no threat. When giving him the $10 he was overwhelmed and said God will bless you and everyone else who participates in this project.
What an awesome feeling knowing I made his day just as much as he made mine. Trey had recently moved to Ohio from Alabama to be closer to his family. He said he was probably going to use the money toward something for his new house.
I didn’t keep Trey too long as it was so cold outside and it was clear he was on a mission to get home where it was warm.

Year of Giving 
That’s nice. If I had been there I would’ve said “Hot cocoa!” 😀 – it is cold work walking home in the snow.
Sometimes it’s hard to stop and talk to people when the weather is bad. Good job Melinda for having the courage to stop and talk to Trey! -Reed
Good for you Melinda! Day two down…only 5 more to go. You will probably want to do more after this.
