AOK Shoutouts Share & Celebrate Kindness

Eating lunch at a local restaurant, I left in sort of a hurry to get to another appointment. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, a young man from the rest came running out waving his arms and yelling at me. I stopped and he came over and handed me my cell phone that I had left behind. I bet he ran a 4 second 40. Thanks again !

My boss gave me & the other staff a season pass to the Allen County Fair. My co-worker wasn’t going to use her pass so she gave me hers so I could give it to my husband to use. I went to the fair last night and my husband couldn’t go so I blessed a lady with the pass so she wouldn’t have to pay. Blessing after blessing. ❤

On Saturday, we gathered in Delaware, Ohio to celebrate the completion of Lexi’s affordable home on South Franklin Street. Lexi shared how meaningful it was to have volunteers build her home alongside her and how grateful she is for the opportunity to achieve homeownership through Habitat for Humanity. Lexi’s home is Habitat’s 85th home completed in Delaware County. This home was made possible by 194 volunteers who donated 1,863 hours on our build site.

Kindness Alert - Coldwater Lake, MI Doing AOK would like to recognize Emily Ann Staley as our 1st ever winner of the "DoingAOK Kindness Kaptain" award. Emily took it upon herself to host the Tim Stroup Birthday Bash 2026 at her lake place. Not only did she allow us to stay there, she arranged dinner plans at The Lake Shack, captained the boat for tubing, gave guided tours of the surrounding lakes, organized the fishing activities and pretty much kept all of us in line. She also correctly informed some of our group that "shots" are not usually done while tubing and it is NOT clothing optional. Thanks, Emily, for baby sitting the bunch of us and making it a memorable weekend. We all owe you one !

At a weekend birthday party, a friend of DoingAOK, Teresa Kaufman got up early and make breakfast for our large group. Sausage gravy and hash brown casserole. Very delicious, for sure! Thanks Teresa, very kind of you
