Public kindness
Paint kindness rocks and leave them to be found
A few hand-painted rocks with kind words, left where rock-finders look.
- What this is for
- A pocket-size boost for whoever finds one
- What the person actually does
- Paint at least three small rocks with bright designs and kind words using paint or markers you own, let them dry, and leave them where painted rocks are welcome — a local rock garden or swap spot, never a nature preserve, national park, or trail.
- About 40 minutes of real work. Delivers 3 kindness rocks left to find.
- Proof they have to send (photo or video)
- No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur.
- Photograph the painted rocks together at the spot where you left them.
- Leave rocks only where they're welcome — a local rock garden or swap spot, never a preserve, park, or trail.
You pay$18
Where your $18 goes
- Pays the person fairly ($18/hr) for about 55 minutes of real work, travel, and sending the photo$17
- Card processing and platform fees$1
A fair wage for real work, paid to the person who does it.
Secure checkout. Payment runs through Stripe; your deed is funded and handed to the engine the moment it confirms. The engine then sources a verified local person under a strict spend cap.
You are paying a real person a fair wage to do a real good deed. It is a service, not a donation, so it is not tax-deductible.
What we tell the person doing it
The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:
- What photo proof do you need?
- Send photo or video of the result. Rules: No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur. Photograph the painted rocks together at the spot where you left them. Leave rocks only where they're welcome — a local rock garden or swap spot, never a preserve, park, or trail.
- How much do I get paid?
- This deed pays $18 — the full listed amount, with nothing taken out of your payment. It's labor only, so you never buy anything or spend your own money. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
- Do I need to keep people out of frame?
- No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
