Acts of kindness On March 19‚ 1994‚ I experienced firsthand how one random act of kindness could touch my heart‚ ease my fears and leave me with a renewed faith in mankind. I was living in Billings‚ Montana and was moving back home to Kennewick‚ Washington with my six month old daughter. It was a 670 mile journey. I drove a little blue Ford Festiva and had it packed to the point where I didn’t think anything else could fit in it. It was a beautiful sunny morning when we left on our journey.

I am from Chicago and the winters around here get pretty brutal on most nights it was about 15 below zero that night. As we were driving‚ out of nowhere was the biggest pothole you’ve ever seen‚ we couldn’t avoid it and hit it straight on‚ the tire was completely blown. We pulled over into a small abandoned parking lot. ( Not in a very good area either)
