Kindness therapy?

I just remembered something my dad did to help me when I was first hospitalized year twenty years ago. Back then they had payphones on the ward and you had to have quarters to call friends and family. My dad gave me a roll of quarters to give out to the other patients so that they could talk to someone if they needed to. My dad wasn’t rich and never made much money as a blue collar worker but would always try to help others even if it was in small ways. It was good therapy for me too because I was so afraid from my paranoia that I had trouble getting out of my shell.
