No you're crying
People are sharing stories about acts of kindness from strangers and it's the loveliest thing.
It all started with @Nicole_Cliffe asking people what's the kindest thing a stranger or group of strangers has done for them. She began by sharing her own story on Twitter.
The tweet was met with hundreds of responses. Here are some of the best:
When I was 8 mos pregnant I slipped on some ice & fell, knocked out cold. When I came to, there was a crowd of strangers around me, all without coats (this was in Saskatchewan, Canada in December). Their coats, I realized, were all on top of me, except the one under my head.

I was drifting off onto the ocean with my cousin on a rubber raft when I was like 12 and we both didn't know how to row so we were panicking and crying, then some teenager on a surfboat paddled towards us and continuously pushed our raft towards the beach, to safety https://t.co/CjUKSrcJLu

I'd lost my job, my laptop fried, and my car broke down, all within 2 days.
I was sitting in the car shop, worrying quietly to a friend on the phone abt the cost, then 10mins later the mechanic handed me my keys & said the lady ahead of me overheard & paid for the repair. 😭— Erica Wilkinson 🍉 (@EverywhereErica) March 4, 2019
She called me over and gave me a hug and talked to me about my mom and told me she was worried about someone too. In retrospect, I broke every don’t talk to stranger rule, but I did keep an eye on my sisters and I’d been left outside the hospital in a van so 🤷🏻♀️...I needed the hug

It just goes to show, you never know how one random good deed can impact someone.
