  • For several days in a row, a guy has been fixing his car in front of my house. It’s pretty cold outside and I wanted to do something nice. I made a cup of hot coffee and gave it to him. The guy was shocked, he took the cup, and thanked me. He said to me, “Thanks again. If you need my help, you know where to find me... My wife never made tea for me, and a guy I don’t know made me coffee.” I smiled and walked away. I almost cried — it felt so nice to do something good. © SoulNone / Pikabu
  • I was walking past a coffee shop, and a girl standing outside gave me a leaflet that said “1+1=3.” It means you buy 2 identical cups of coffee and get the third one for free. I bought one for me and one for my colleague and gave the free one to the girl. She was really happy. © APXuK / Pikabu
  • Back when my great uncle was alive I used to go and buy these books about cowboys, Indians, and the like. Being an elderly man, he never really got much of a chance to go out and buy these sorts of things although he loved reading and Westerns a lot. One day, I noticed that he’d began to re-read some of his old books, because he didn’t have any new ones. I thought about it for a bit and came up with a plan. Every time I’d go to the newsstand from then on, I’d buy 2 books. After getting a few, I’d bundle them up, go to his house, drop them on the doorstep, ring the bell, and run. When I’d visit him later in the week he’d always relay his theory about who was doing it, and how he was going to catch them. I only got to do it a few times before he passed away, but I’ll never forget the smile on his face as he talked about “The Book Bandit.” © CrazyMcCookie / Reddit

  • I saw a very beautiful dog. It was sad, hungry, and its paw was broken. There were no people around, and I sat next to the dog and started crying. After that, I went online and started looking for the owners. And I found them! They answered my call and said they would pick the dog up soon. I asked my colleague to bring my backpack, I gave the dog all the food I had, and now I’m happy she’s going home. She’s doing great and her paw is healing. © yadeathcoree / Twitter

  • I was coming back home from doing work up North. I had a long connection (19 hours), so I went for a walk, went to a market, and realized all my money was gone. Someone had cut my bag and stole it. I was shocked. No money, no tickets, and I knew nobody in the city. So, I had a crazy idea — ask someone to lend me money. I saw a young woman with her daughter. So, I went up to her and told her my story. I asked her for some money for my trip and promised to give it back to her once I got home. She told me to wait while she went home. When she came back, she gave me $100. She said, “My husband and I are saving money, I hope you are not lying.” I couldn’t believe my eyes, took the money, and the next day, when I got home, I transferred her the money right away. © Oblomingo88 / Pikabu

  • My neighbor’s dog fell off a cliff, and they could not afford the surgery to save his life. We put $500 in an envelope and left it on their back step, with a note that said it was to help their dog. It was not enough to cover the whole cost, but we heard the vet took it as a down payment. The dog lived for quite a while afterward. © handjivewilly / Reddit
  • For 2 weeks, there was a huge pile of snow in the parking lot near our house. Of course, people started climbing this pile, and today, someone made stairs for us! © aatakaya / Pikabu
