20+ Times People Restored Our Faith in Humanity With Their Generosity

It’s no doubt that we live in a fast-paced world where we’re often left with very little time to help others. However, some people have proven that it’s always possible to offer a hand and make someone else’s day with a kind gesture.

1. “Go, Willie!”

2. “I AM BLOWN AWAY. The generosity of this person is on another level. Came across it on my delivery route. If you see this, we love you!!”

6. “In Norway, you get a small amount of money for recycling bottles/cans. Poor and homeless people often collect them. Many of our trash cans have these holders around them so people don’t have to search through the trash to find them.”

13. “My mom’s purse was stolen in the ’80s at a hiking trailhead. Today someone messaged her that they found it deep in the woods. The leather was all destroyed, but she is getting some cool keepsakes back.”

14. “After bad storms, this retired man goes around our neighborhood and cleans the debris out of yards in catch basins. When I asked him why he does it, he said, ’Because I am retired and have the time to help.’ 10/10 great dude.”
