SAMPLE TRUE PAY IT FORWARD DAY STORIES:
* A complete stranger paid $10,000 so that one lady could have a liver operation that she otherwise could not have afforded. She still does not know who it was who ‘paid it forward’ on the day, but she is forever grateful.
* One lady contacted a hospital to see if there were any needy families that could use some flights which she wouldn't be able to use. As a result one family was able to travel across Australia to be with their very sick family member in hospital.
* A handicapped lady had a 10 minute neck and shoulder massage and left money and a Pay it Forward Day card (downloadable from the website) so the next person could have a massage for free.
* One boy noticed a car was just about to receive a ticket. He asked his mum if he could top up the parking meter to stop the person getting booked. It saved someone a $79 fine.
Any random act of kindness can cause a positive ripple effect restoring our faith in the love and compassion of the human spirit.
