If you haven’t heard about Powering Kindness week, you really need to get involved. The lovely people over at Electric Ireland are donating a substantial amount of money to various charities and all they are asking you to do is tell them about your good deeds and random acts of kindness.
When you log the good deeds on to the Powering Kindness website, all you have to do is pick the charity you would prefer to see get the most amount of money, all of which are extremely deserving.
Electric Ireland then got us thinking about some of our favourite acts of kindness that we have seen over the years on the site. Some of these are just amazing.
1. This note left for a veteran’s girlfriend.
A passer-by noticed a sticker on the back of her car which said “my heart is in Afghanistan” and decided to leave a note with some money instructing her to take her boyfriend out for dinner when he returns home.
2. This tip left for this waitress.
The lady who received the tip had told the customer about her dream of travelling to Italy.
3. The volunteers who will help one child become Batman.
The population of San Francisco will help this kid become Batman for a day as part of a Make-A-Wish event.
4. This viral video
Random acts of kindness everywhere!

7. This waitress random act of kindness
Which, of course, didn’t go unnoticed by Ellen DeGeneres.
8. This heartwarming gesture.
It’s almost too upsetting.
9. This boy who wrote a letter for his brother.
Basically, his brother has cerebal palsy and wants to run in a marathon, but needs a running jogger to help him out. We just want to hug him.
10. This driver who apologised for her actions.
She wrote a letter of apology for “being rude”. Heroine.
11. This boy who wrote a plea to Santa.
He begged him for bullies to leave his sister alone.
12. This teddy who finally made it home.
A toddler lost her teddy while on holidays but some kind lady launched a Facebook campaign to make sure it got home.
