Yesterday I helped an older man onto the bus. The regular bus was being cleaned so they were using a very old bus instead. The driver had forgotten how to lower the ramp and there was a man with a walker who was having trouble. I helped him onto the bus and into a seat. The bus was being switched to the normal one at the terminal, which meant the driver had to park behind the buses for the trade. A lady got hit by a bus a couple months ago because she was behind them, so I help the man get to a safe spot on the sidewalk. There are a lot of curbs to get around, so I lifted his walker for him and helped him by hand up and down.
Today my kindness is about local safety. There is a known sexual offender who was released from federal prison and moved to Peterborough yesterday. I am going to spread the word about it and give the link with a picture to everyone I see, so people are aware. He is classified as a high-risk for repeat offenses and it's important for people to know about it. I don't want to post the link online though, because who knows if that will make me a target, so I will do it by word of mouth.
