A neighbor showed a struggling mother that love and kindness still exist.

Mallory Mason lives in Canton, Ohio, with her children. Her husband recently left her and the kids.

Her new neighbor, John, noticed they were struggling and worked up the courage to knock on her door and offer to help.

"I'd like to come down and cut your grass for you," he says in the video (below).

Mallory thanks John and notices he has tears in his eyes, too.

"Are you okay?" she asks him.

"Nope," he replies.

Mallory posted the security camera video of her conversation with John to TikTok where it has garnered more than 1 million views.

"This MAN broke my heart as he looked at me! He has tear filled eyes and I myself couldn't help but cry! He blessed us by mowing this b**ch of a lawn. I can't thank him enough! I ran in and made cookies and Paxton painted him a picture. It's so nice that people actually care instead of just talking about the storm we are living in. My heart is full. We have so many kind people around us, it makes it a little easier to get through," she captioned the video.

A couple of days later Mallory met John's wife, Cheryl.

"She told me that the reason why he is doing this is because God called it upon him," Mallory said.

Mallory has set up a GoFundMe for John just to "bless" him and his wife for their kindness.
