“Dear PoPville,
I went for a socially distant walk alone on Saturday afternoon. Between my keys, phone, hand sanitizer, and other accruement that I had in my pocket, my card holder fell out of my pocket somewhere along my walk. It was a long walk and I’m not sure where it fell out. However, when I returned home, my wallet was propped up on the doorknob to my apartment. Some Good Samaritan had found it and delivered it back to me, (more…)

“My walking around partner today went from his aunts Zoom funeral to his ‘volunteer’ job and then came and walked around the neighborhood to help someone he had never met until today. Within 24 hours of the story posting on PoPville, over twenty neighbors signed up to go out and look this weekend … again most of them have never even met Kevin. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to share an experience that has shown me there is still kindness in the world. I work for a large international non-profit and yesterday 70 people were laid off, 10% of employees. I am safe but know many of the employees, including my best friend, whom I’ve worked with for more than 7 years that were impacted. I was angry at the world and went for a run. After 4 miles I was overcome with emotion and stopped at the corner of 16th and S St NW to compose myself. As I was doubled over sobbing, a kind man stopped and walked over to me. (more…)

Ed. Note: You guys rule. I want to take the opportunity to thank all those who’ve been so supportive of me and so many others during these crazy days. I got this email yesterday from the DC Food Project “Regarding our Emergency Weekend Bag Program. Since your article was posted we have raised close to $11K, which will allow us to continue helping our school communities gain access to additional food, during these unknown times. We can’t thank you enough.”
