Thank you to the wonderful man who donated the bicycles for our guest and home court participant, Preston. One of our Licking County navigators assisted with riding one of the bikes with Preston to the NPD to get them legally tagged.

The other day, I called to find out how my very good friend, John Battles (Doing-AOK founder) was doing following his recent knee surgery. I was complaining to him about wasting my time going to 3 different stores looking for a particular coffee creamer. And coming up empty on two different occasions. Tonight, when I got out of the shower. I saw I had a "missed person at my door" alert, on my Ring doorbell. I played it, and was greeted by my friends smiling face. He was holding a bottle of the creamer I had been seeking. Getting no response from my doorbell, he set it in front of my door, and hobbled his way back to his car. That's when I noticed something else besides his painful gate, he was in his socks. He had intended on calling me and having me meet him at the car! Getting no answer, he disregarded how his knee felt, and the

The kids at Waynesfield School completed 1,465 acts of kindness during our Doing AOK School Challenge! That’s 1,465 times someone chose to do something kind for somebody else. Pretty cool, right? I had a great time celebrating with the kids and hearing what they enjoyed about the challenge. A big thank-you to the students, teachers, and staff who made it happen! Chill Out and Do Good Stuff Want to see how it went? Head to “Get Involved” on our website, then select “School Challenges” to watch the celebration day recap

Kindness Alert !!! Ada,Ohio - Old Route 69 Brewery. Some friends and I had dinner here and as we were leaving, ran into these kind young men, Matt & Branson. They had been there celebrating a birthday and they were loading cupcakes back to their car. They asked our friends if we cared for some cupcakes for the road, which of course was met with an enthusiastic "Heck yeah". Kindness cupcakes, thanks guys, much appreciated

Hand written "Get Well" wishes from my friends came in the mail today. Made my day. For them to take the time to buy, sign and mail it to me is a appreciated act of kindness. It IS the thought that counts ! Thanks Jodi and Arby !

Dealing with insurance companies can sometimes turn in to a nightmare. I had been dealing with a dentist & dental insurance for some time on a claim that became quite frustrating. As my frustration hit an all time high, I was comforted by truly KIND individuals from Delta Dental (Natavia) and Pure Smiles ( Bethany ). These 2 took the matter into their own hands, calmed me down and handled their respective roles professionally and best of all, with KINDNESS. In this AI world, caring people are a huge asset and I want to thank them both. So THANKS , Natavia and Bethany. You restored my faith in human kindness and I appreciate it ! Take Sunday off

My car stalled on 33 outside of Indian Lake. I called AAA and they were sending a tow truck. Another car pulled up and offered to help. We told them a tow truck was coming, so he left. 15 minutes later, the same guy showed up with hot coffee for me and my passengers. Much appreciated, cause it was chilly!

Krista, a medical assistant for OSU Neurology in Columbus, went above and beyond in helping me with answers to my questions and doing everything to make sure my appointments were met. Very nice, helpful and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Krista !

We were out with a group of friends at the Downtown Lima Jamboree. We had several drinks at the Bar BQ place and when we went to pay our tab, we were told it had been taken care of. We asked who paid and they said it was a Buckeye fan, who was glad our group was mostly dressed in scarlet and grey. O -H....

I cooked at the Fairgrounds during the week of Max’s and shared with the campers next to us. They were always appreciative but they ended up buying this sign for my smoke shack at home. Kindness full circle.
