Human Kindness

[savant365]

Just when you have lost faith in human kindness, someone who teaches at Kean Elementary in Wooster, Ohio forwarded the following letter. The letter was sent to the Principal’s office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly. An old lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind. Forward to anyone you know who might need a lift today.

Dear Kean Elementary:

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the Sprenger Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away. I am all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me. God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping. The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I told her to kiss my a$$.



Thank you for that opportunity.

Sincerely,

Edna

Ah yes, the gift of sharing...

KMA is always worth sharing

So, just for the heck of it, I decided to see if this was a valid story. IT IS! WOOOHOOO!

The place names actually exist!

The Sprenger Home for the Aged has a website and the testimonial of Agnes, the old lady, is right there. It is not as complete as the story that appears here, but it is not as funny either. It is however, almost verbatim as this one, so I have a renewed faith in the world.

Thanks for the good laugh!
