He quietly told them to get her everything she needed

2,740 views | Posted by a friend on June 9, 2026

My dad was at the eye doctor getting his eyes checked, and while waiting to be seen overheard a young woman having a discussion with the optician regarding the glasses she needed versus what insurance would cover (very, very little) and she couldn't afford most of it. When they called my dad back to see the doctor, he quietly...

A Simple Interaction while Shopping Opened My Eyes

2,717 views | Posted by A friend on June 4, 2026

My significant other and I were shopping and trying to figure out what wine, and how much we wanted to spend on it for a recipe. There was a senior gentleman near me and I made some silly comment to him about it and asked him what he thought. At first, he just looked kind of shocked, and then his whole face just lit up! He smiled...

Faith in humanity restored

This happened in Los Angeles. Yesterday while running errands in the next city over, I inadvertently emptied the contents of my bag onto the street. Didn’t realize it until I was already almost home. I started tracking the airtag in my wallet and saw it moving around town, meaning someone had picked it up. I...

The reason why my wife and I run across every crosswalk

2,542 views | Posted by A friend on June 5, 2026

We were house sitting for my boss one year in their really cute walkable neighborhood. We liked going for walks to the downtown area of this neighborhood which was only a few blocks away but across a highway. For some reason, the first day that we crossed the highway we decided to run across. I suppose because we didn't know...

The Angel in Each of Us

2,494 views | Posted by Joseph J. Mazzella on June 11, 2026

A woman wrote me recently and asked me if I believe in angels. I answered: “Yes I do. I see them all the time. You just have to know how to look for them.” Let me give you an example. A few years ago during a bad patch of weather in the middle of winter I found myself sitting in my car in the parking lot waiting for my...

Today is the one-year anniversary of my wife's passing

2,453 views | Posted by Sunny Skyz on June 7, 2026

Grief has a way of showing up when we least expect it. Sometimes, so does comfort. On the one-year anniversary of his wife's passing, a man accidentally spilled his water while walking into his shop. The shape it left behind felt like a message he needed to see that day. "Today is the one-year anniversary of my...

Shout out to the wonderful person who delivered the package to the wrong apartment

2,379 views | Posted by A friend on June 15, 2026

So I came home from work tonight after finishing my shift and after dropping my coworker off at his residence because I have a car and he doesn't. At my apartment, I see a package. I didn't order any packages to be shipped to me for anything. I saw the package wasn't for me and which apartment unit to deliver it to. I...

Tow truck driver in NYC escorted me through a tough intersection

2,373 views | Posted by Calliope719 on June 6, 2026

Long story short, I was traveling to NYC and trying to catch a ferry to make it in time for a funeral. I was traveling about 600 miles to get there and between horrible weather and the travel I was completely exhausted by the time I got into the city. Missed my ferry (by 16 minutes) and had to go around. I was trying to...

I had a flat tire on the side of a busy highway with no shoulder in a pouring rainstorm

2,365 views | Posted by A friend on June 12, 2026

I saw a car pull over and the driver get out and walk back to me. I had already jacked the car up and was in the process of removing the wheel. The driver of the car was not wearing any rain gear and insisted that he help me change the tire. At first I refused but he continued to insist and said that his wife had told...

Restocked my towns completely empty community pantry

2,344 views | Posted by A friend on June 8, 2026

The little free pantry in my town was completely bare, and today I spent over 100 dollars on groceries and restocked it completely. We got canned goods, some kids stuff, baby foods, pasta, snacks, apple juice, everything we could think of. It made me feel so amazing, and the best part was as I was walking out I noticed...

Hold the door open for somebody the next time you go out

2,303 views | Posted by Sophia on June 17, 2026

In 1990, I went to a conference with a new friend/colleague. We were walking around the venue trying to find the room for our next session. A worker came around the corner pushing a cart full of chairs, heading for the room behind us. I got out of the way, but my friend went over to the room and held the door open for the worker. My gast was...

It really does not take a lot to be remembered forever by people if you're kind

2,182 views | Posted by A friend on June 16, 2026

About a month ago I went to my local Miniso to pick up a gift for my little sister for her birthday. I got her a blind box and some tube of these rainbow sour stripes. As I was paying for it, the girl at the register mentioned to me that she'd been meaning to try them forever, but just hadn't gotten around to it. So, I grabbed...

My daughter makes me paintings

2,088 views | Posted by A friend on June 13, 2026

I work in the trades so sometimes I have to leave home for weeks or months at a time. My daughter and my wife always make me little paintings like these, and my daughter helps me pack my bags and says "take these with you daddy so we will always be with you and you will always remember us!" I hang them in...

Complete strangers helped save my dog's life

2,027 views | Posted by A friend on June 18, 2026

I was walking my sweet little dog in a public park when she was attacked by another dog. I won't get into specifics but she was badly hurt. I freaked out, started screaming, didn't know what to do. Then people gently started approaching to see if we were okay, and someone brought us some blankets and some water. A car came...

At Just the Right Moment

2,002 views | Posted by A friend on June 20, 2026

That day, the rain was falling heavily. The sky was dark, everything seemed grey, and there was a certain heaviness in the air. It made me think about how sometimes the world only needs a little more color, warmth, and human kindness. Earlier that morning, around 6:30, I had gone swimming. When I got off the train, I was rushing...

A Single Bowl of Dog Food

I hope this new story of mine reminds you to always do what you can to make this world a better place. God bless you always. It was a hot summer’s afternoon several years ago. I was sitting at my kitchen table addressing a letter when I saw a stray dog wander into my backyard. He was a reddish mix of several breeds...

The little things make such a big difference

1,852 views | Posted by A friend on June 20, 2026

I was out of town this past weekend, getting ready for the 9 hour drive home. Tried to get bottled water out of a vending machine but it didn’t work. Went to a kiosk in the mall. As I approached, I noticed a sign that said “out of ice - out of pop”. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had...

The world needs more Emilys

I remember starting 8th grade days after my mom passed away. I sat in front of the class and just stared at the little laminated memorial card from her funeral on my binder. The teacher noticed and asked me if I wanted to excuse myself. I went in the hallway and cried. Teacher came out and asked me if I'd like a buddy to go with me to...

My mom gave me this note in high school, and I still have it almost 10 years later

1,601 views | Posted by CMStan1313 on June 22, 2026

I've kept it all this time as a reminder, but not of a reminder that she's proud of me (she tells me that often enough I don't need one). I have a lot of anxiety. Years of therapy have helped to manage it, but when I was in high school, it felt like I was barely treading water to keep from drowning most of the...

I was kind to her daughter. And she remembered it 16 years later

I work as a Server in a sushi restaurant. And lately I've been a little burned out and had many long tiring shifts, to the point of feeling very depressed. But yesterday I got a glimpse of the beautiful and pure parts of this job. Which honestly rekindled my spark at work. A little backstory. I am Lithuanian. And live in...
