Kindness can come in many forms, and these real-life stories are so touching, they feel like they belong in a movie.
One Reddit user shared how a stranger helped them during their first day in New York City. Overwhelmed at a subway ticket machine, they were on the verge of tears when a kind man stepped in, showed them how to buy a MetroCard, and even paid for their rides. His words, “Next time someone yells at you, yell back,” gave them the confidence to thrive in the city.
Another story involves a group of kids reading outside a bookstore. An older man, inspired by their love for books, bought them each a $20 gift card. “I love seeing kids read,” he said, leaving them stunned and grateful.
A woman shared how she ran out of gas on a busy road. Three strangers stopped to help, but it was the first man who returned with a full gas can, refusing any repayment. His act of kindness ensured she made it home safely.
These stories remind us that even in a busy, often impersonal world, there are people who go out of their way to make a difference.
