Many Hands Make Light Work

This week’s good deed comes from someone many of you will know, Life Publishing Group’s Editor-in-Chief, Rachael Smith.

While out on a distribution run, Rachael was restocking newspaper stands at Whitsunday Plaza, hauling heavy bundles as she moved from point to point. Despite pushing through with determination, the load was visibly demanding.

As she powered through, a kind young man approached and offered to lend a hand, Rachael taken aback by the gesture stated:

“At first, I almost declined, thinking I could manage on my own, but then I saw the genuine look in his eyes and graciously accepted.”

As he helped her carry the bundles, the young man said something that stuck with her:
“That’s what we do around here in this community, we all help each other.”

"He was such a nice person," Rachael shared. "simply wanting to help and contribute to the positive environment of his community, it was lovely see someone, especially a young guy in his twenties, think to help and offer support."

What might have seemed like a small gesture had a big impact on Rachael, and when she told the story back at the office, we all agreed: this had to be our Good Deed of the Week.

We love hearing stories like Rachael’s. If you or someone you know has done a good deed or experienced one, we’d love to hear about it! Send your stories to editorial@lifepublishinggroup.com.
