When we open ourselves up to the kindness of strangers, the possibilities are endless.
Take, for instance, how one man is anonymously feeding the homeless or how Smiley, a dog with no eyes, is inspiring others!
Christine Royles is just 24 years old and facing a life-threatening illness. In 2013 she was diagnosed with lupus, but this was just the start of her troubles.
Royles learned that her kidneys were failing and that she would need a transplant. A reality that no one, let a lone a 24-year-old, should have to face.
Each day Royles works her shift at Applebees then comes home and connects to a dialysis machine for 10 hours.
She enrolled in the transplant wait list, tacking her name onto a list of 100,000 patients — each as deserving as she is.
"I hate taking chances like that. That's why I made it my mission to find a kidney," Royles said.
On her search to find a kidney donor, Royles used some pretty unusual tactics: She began writing messages on the back of her car asking for help. Though it's a tactic that might take a lot of people by surprise, it was a stranger's response that truly shocked me!
This amazing story proves that it is often when we least expect it, and often from the most unlikely people, that we find solace and hope.
