Perhaps you are one who thought that paying for something for someone you didn’t know would only be meaningful to the recipient. However, when you took that step and actually paid for someone else’s laundry, meal, parking meter, gas, whatever – It impacted you or your family as well…

Me and a friend ran out of gas today and was stuck on side of the road! Luckily a mrs.newsome stops takes me to the gas station to get gas and took me back to my truck. She also gas me a card with the paid4u.org on it with $10 attached to it to get more gas! I would like to say thank you very much to her! I really appreciate it! God bless!

I just left a McDonald’s Drive-Thru where some young lady ahead of me,in a Silver Ford Cruze paid for my order. I pulled up after she drove off and the employee said “The lady in front paid for your order, and said to give you this” I looked at him and said “Huh?” ..in which he began to repeat himself again.
But the funny thing about it, is that before then I was in much pain, I had a hard day at work, and my overall life situations had me feeling unsure. Right before I went to that McDonalds I went to Chicken Express. CE told me my card was declined. But I knew there was money, I left and went to Pizza Hut in which my card was swiped but didn’t cover the entire total. I went to the car to scrape change..didn’t have it. So I purchased something smaller. As I was waiting to receive that order I went to McDonalds where I received the card. Went back to Pizza Hut and received ALL of my order that I couldn’t pay for. GOD IS SO GOOD. I honestly don’t know how to say anything but THANK YOU! I have tweeted, and even posted pics on Instagram. I feel like God was telling me to “Hang in there.” It has honestly picked me up from my down, gloomy state of mind and just overall level of contentment. I decided to live my life and moved out. I’ve been on my own for the entire summer for the first time.It’s only Sunday I hope that I can keep this JOY I have burning inside of me. Thank you God. I’m inspired and want to actually spread the Love. Peace and Blessings. -

I was in Wal-Mart yesterday with my sister and my two sons, getting a few things. I had passed this gentleman in the store a couple times and thought nothing of it. As I stopped to talk to an old friend for a few minutes I noticed the man again. We prepared to leave and he came up to me and asked would I accept this gift to help with my purchases? I KNEW it was a hoax or joke of some sort. Then I asked him…what’s the catch?? What will I have to do if I take this money? He gently smiled and statedt that there was NO catch. I looked all around expecting a big AH HA jokes on you! I though he was going to tell me that he wanted to exchange this green card for some cash (which I didn’t have much of). He again smiled and stated that this was no joke and no strings attached. God wanted me to have this help. With a tear in my eye I said ok and took the money and card which had “paid4u.org” on the front. I stood in shock at what had just happened. My two boys were asking what’s going on mom. Who was that? As I turned around to thank the man he was gone! I cried…I hope that very nice man knows what a blessing he was to me! I had been worried how I was going to get the things I needed AND have gas money to get to work the rest of this week and next week. I would have never expected someone out of the blue to hand me $110 dollars with no strings attached. God has truly blessed me again. June 9th will make 6 years that I (4 months pregnant) with my oldest son ran away from my children’s father who used to beat and abused me, taken me to Missouri to distance me from my family. God made a way for me to contact my parents and return to Texas. I have been blessed with my parents help raising my two boys. Our family has seen it’s share of hardships but we KNOW God is there with us and we must keep the faith! Again God send an angel my way with a blessing and I want the man who gave me that money to know I sincerely thank you and may God bless and keep you!

As we ate our mother’s day dinner, our great waitress said the only tough part of her night was missing being with her family, and how she was planning to take her mom out to a nice steak dinner later in the week. It was awesome to see the kids’ excitement as we left her a paid4u.org card that said “Take her to Ruths Chris” – along with a “tip”. Thank you God for the opportunity and I hope they enjoy the meal as much as we enjoyed being able to pay for it! And to our waitress if you read this, thank you for making our evening a very special one in more ways than one.
Tonight I went through the McDonald’s drive thru… When I got to the window the cashier told me the car in front of me had paid for my order and said to give me this card… I tld my friend people like that give me hope for mankind as many people don’t do things like this anymore… But once I got home and looked at this site I was completely touched… I knew it was God telling me to hang in there… I had just left my son’s great grandmothers house to visit… I just had a discussion wit her bout not having the money for food and she had just given me the money to go get that food… In January my boyfriend passed away in a car accident… I was 5 months pregnant with his son… who is now 4 months old… I’m raising him alone and struggle everyday to make ends meet to keep a roof over his head… each month I have 23 dollars left after paying bills to get the things he needs… So I hope u can see how much of a blessing this act of kindness was to me… I wish I could personally thank this person with a huge hug… Thanks for giving me hope and relieving the stress I had on my chest tonight…
