Welcome!

You've reached the internet's only toll booth.

Passage is free. Paying is what makes it memorable. Settle a toll of a dollar or more and your kindness goes on the permanent record: a numbered entry in the Official Ledger of Good Karma, and a Certificate of Passage with your name on it. And why, you ask? Because you deserve some good karma.

A note from the booth

I built this booth to answer a small question: would strangers still choose to be kind if there was nothing in it for them? The ledger keeps the running score — — entries so far. If that number is small, you're early. If it's large, you're in excellent company. Either way, it only moves in one direction.

Full disclosure, because candor is house policy: right now, tolls keep one very real human's lights on while he builds things like this booth. As the ledger grows, so does the plan — funding small, documented acts of kindness for strangers who never see them coming. If you pay a toll this early, you're not just an entry in the ledger. You're the proof the whole idea works.

Articles of passage

The fine print, in good faith

Honesty is the house policy. Herewith, the full disclosure.

Art. I Is this a registered charity?

It is not, and it will never claim to be. The Good Karma Toll Booth is a satirical, for-fun project. Your toll is not tax-deductible, and no charitable status is implied. Consider it a tip jar for the universe, operated by one person with a ledger.

Art. II Where does the money actually go?

Two places, in this order. Phase 1: it keeps the booth's one human operator on the right path — working on his mission and making big leaps of progress. The booth states this plainly because candor is cheaper than marketing. Phase 2 is where we start to give back and let our cup overflow to those who need our help. Good Karma Toll Booth is the first step in a long journey of helping others heal and grow, and to do that it takes capital, and Good Karma. Much love.

Art. III Do I get guaranteed good luck?

No outcomes are promised — lucky, cosmic, or otherwise. What you demonstrably receive: one numbered ledger entry, one certificate, and the specific, well-documented satisfaction of having been generous when nobody was checking.

Art. IV Can I get a refund?

Tolls are voluntary and final — one does not ask the universe for karma back. Please pay only what you're genuinely happy to give away. If a payment ever goes technically wrong, reply to your certificate email and a real human will make it right.

Art. V Why does this exist?

Curiosity. Someone wanted to know what would happen if the internet had one small, honest gate where people could choose to be kind on purpose, just because they could. You, reading this, are the experiment working.

The mission

Lives can be changed.

The Good Karma Toll Booth is part of a bigger mission to be able to dramatically help people in need. And to prove that if we think outside the box, lives can be changed.
