  • Margie Kern-Marshall decided that for her 83rd birthday she would perform a random act of kindness. See how she interacts with people in the street when she hands out $83 and the incredible responses by the recipients. Through the movie, learn what she means by random acts of kindness.

      I bet if you asked her, she would say she wished she didnt wait so long to do such kind things. Start now! Never to young.

    Let's all start a trend. Do a random act of kindness to a complete stranger, then when they ask what they need to do in return, you say only to do a random act of kindness to another complete stranger. KEEP THE TREND GOING!

    To all the wonderful reviewers of this video,
    Today, January 24th, 2014 is Margie's 84th birthday. She will go out and hand 84 roses to people in the street. No video this year, just a good old random act of kindness to give back to the community some smiles and kind interaction. May you all have a wonderful day and year.
    Hope to get Margie to do another bigger activity on her 85th birthday,
    Mathilde (videographer)

    She makes me miss my Nana...she did this all the time. Every time I visited her for a month in the summer, when we were out and about, she would randomly walk up to someone and give them a "small token of human kindness" (what she called it). Once, she paid for a families meal when she saw how hard the parents were struggling with their children. She almost always paid for the person behind her when getting on the bus. We so need more ladies like this! Happy Birthday, Margie! Bless your heart!

    I was at the commissary two weeks ago, in line behind an older gentleman wearing a Vietnam veteran hat. His card was denied and he had $100 worth of groceries that had already been bagged. I paid for the whole thing, and for mine too. I'm not rich. I am a stay at home parent and my husband is on junior enlisted pay. But I can't let someone leave the store with nothing to eat. I can't. I was so worried about my husband being upset, but he was so proud of me. It doesn't matter how many kids someone has, or doesn't have, or their age or skin color. If you can help someone, DO IT. You never know what someone else is going through. That man was so thankful. He asked my name and tried to get my address to send me money to pay him back, but I told him I was happy to help.

    Happy Belated Birthday Margie.... your $83 given gave out continuous to so many more people... to gift others on your birthday makes one precious day of your precious life a unique and even more special celebration.... your daughter is right; you are indeed an inspiration and to be blessed with love from family and your dear friend Mathilde is a testament of a life well lived and one lived forth from the heart... I once heard an African American woman say that HUGS = Helping Us Grow Spiritually; so here in spirit are 84 hugs from my heart to yours :)

    To all the people who have left such wonderful comments about Margie and asked about how she is doing,
    Margie is fine, getting older and near her 85th birthday in January. Today she shared with me some thoughts on the different Random Acts of Kindness she would like to do on her birthday. She was not sure if she wanted to do a video, as she said she is not hungry to get on video. But she is very happy that she has inspired so many of you to do random acts of kindness. So stay tuned. Or if you would like to share more of your thoughts with her, please post them and I will share them with her,
    Mathilde

    I have a Mother (64), 6 Aunts (Mom's sisters) who are, well, in various ages, ranging from ages 80 to 90. Today we celebrated the 86th birthday of one of my aunts, and out of the blue I happened to view this video on youtube, totally by chance.
    You are such a sweet person Margie, and God has a special place in Heaven just for you...and for the lovely ladies in my life!!
    You have shown me a whole new way of celebrating my next birthday!! Number 40!!
    There is a God!!
