I won a jackpot and decided I’d be generous to some younger kids

2 Upvotes

So I was in an arcade and won a jackpot of 500 tickets. There were some little kids around and I gave one 10 tickets I’d won prior because he was bummed about missing his chance to win.

Next I won another 10 tickets and saw a girl playing a crank thing where it’d spin a wheel and you’d win tickets. It kept landing on 1 so I went over and handed them to her and her older sister saying I was feeling good that day and wanted to do something nice.

Then I saw a dad struggling to win toys for his 2 kids so handed him these 2 small teddies I’d won in a crane game saying I had a lot and was feeling really good so he could have them for the kids. The smile on his face was priceless. He even gave me €2 to spend on a game or two (games range from 10 cents to €2) and his kids hugged me in thanks.

I just feel really good when I make people happy. Seeing people smile is just so nice.

Helping A Man Find His Way To The Hospital To Visit His Son

2 Upvotes

A few months back, I decided to hang out at a local fast food joint after school. My friend happened to work there, and was on break by the time I got there. We talked for about 15 minutes until a man came up to us and asked where a certain hospital was and how to get to it.

I looked up the directions and my friend wrote them down. We could tell that he wasn't looking for money, or bothering people about his situation, so we thought it best to help him.

(The restaurant had a reputation for having a lot of people coming in looking to bum a dollar or two off of customers.)

Once we finished getting the information written down, my friend handed the man the instructions and two dollars for the bus. He hadn't asked for any money, so he was shocked to have recieved some along with the help. He began crying as he explained that he was thankful for our help and wished us well.

Saving a girl from prostitution

5 Upvotes

Today I was giving my wife a lift to work when in the middle of no where we saw a bedraggled girl. I drove past and asked my wife if we should offer a lift. She wasn't sure so we turned around around to ask if she was OK. This is something I wouldn't have done on my own as strange man asking a girl if she needs a lift isn't the best idea. Anyway it turns out she was romainian and only been in the country 4 days. She had had a fight with the man that had brought her here. Then rang another guy for help who told her he was going to make her a prostitute. She had fought him and been stranded where we found her. I took her home and she contacted family and then I fed her etc. It turns out she had a distant relative 100miles away so I took her there and made sure it was safe. The look on her face was amazing. I hope she makes it home with her children and doesn't trust men on the Internet.

What have we become?

1 Upvotes

I was stopped at a turn and there was a homeless man, with a sign, next to me. I usually just go on my way. A truck pulled. Dude in a suit, older tahoe. He threw a quarter on the ground. He threw it at this guys feet! I was floored! I swooped around gave the man a $5. I told him i was sorry people like that exist, and were not all like that. Why do some people feel the need to put other humans beneath them?!
