“I can avoid this.”
“S***, I can’t avoid this.”
“I’m too young to die.”
A senior calls into my show. Barb doesn't have a computer. Almost no outside world connection.

I ask if anyone can help.
A listener, Donna, BUYS a laptop. Tells the clerk Barb's story. He gives her 50% off!
Barb never expected this. I did. Because kindness is now a pandemic.
“Who the f*** is Dahlia Kurtz?”
Naturally, I respond:
“I ask myself that question every day.”
Meet Ray. He's 73 and blind. He called into my show on loneliness to say he's lonely, so I invited him in-studio.

He says, "I don't want to die not meaning anything to anybody."
Judging by the messages I received he means a lot to many, who finally got hear what he has to say.
So Sam calls into my show. Simply to thank me for “being there.”

In our brief chat, I learn Sam doesn’t have Internet. And now no access anywhere.
I said I’d try to help.
Within 2 minutes, we found help.
Sam never expected it. I did.
Kindness always leads to good. Always.

Has supported her family for 40 yrs. Her husband's sick. COVID wiped out her credit.
I share this on air. A STRANGER gives her a FEW HUNDRED dollars.
There's NO SHAME asking for help. Only STRENGTH. Now she's even stronger.
A paramedic's home just burned down. She lost everything.

I ask for help on The Goods.
So, a man fighting cancer - who could lose everything - calls.
HE'S DONATING $5000 TO HER.
The anonymous angel wants to give back to healthcare workers.
I love him.#kindnesspandemic
