30 for 30

Its ny 30th birthday in a few months and I'd like to mark the occasion by doing something good for the world - I was thinking 30 acts of kindness for my 30 years. At the moment I have NO idea how I'll fund it so looking for some inexpensive ideas.

So far I have:

  1. Comforter toys for NICU & SCBU babies at local hospital
  2. Homemade cakes for emergency service workers (if they'll eat homemade)
  3. Donate sanitary products and treats to food bank
  4. Donate baby clothes to children's centre
  5. Buy vaccinations for kids abroad
  6. Give some of my dd's old clothes to a student of mine who is pregnant.

Any other ideas?

you could befriend an elderly person self-isolating due to COVID-19 & isolated due to lack of family, this would involve chatting on the phone www.ageuk.org.uk/services/befriending-services/

Great ideas! Thanks!

And thanks for the birthday wishes. Wasn't the birthday I was expecting but a little bit of perspective always goes down well. The sun was shining and I ate lunch outside, DH and I got a take away - simple pleasures. I wouldn't go that far though @Shotofvodka!

I love what you are doing to celebrate with acts of kindness, maybe this will become a trend?
