People Share The Most Touching Acts Of Kindness They’ve Witnessed
Whether it's something as simple as paying for someone's coffee behind you in line at Starbucks, or as major as rearranging your entire life to care for a friend going through a tough time, there's nothing quite as heartwarming as witnessing or participating in a truly selfless act of kindness.
It's these everyday actions that prove that humanity ain't doing so bad after all. If you're in need of a boost, you're in luck: a number of Redditors have shared their stories about the most moving acts of kindness they've ever seen.
Read these and prepare to have your heart warmed.
1. Love Drug
My dad recently lost his job, and with it his health insurance. He had a heart attack last year and has to take an expensive medication as a result. A one-month supply is around $250 without the insurance to help.
He went to his doctor's office yesterday to find a coupon to at least shave off some of the cost. A nurse went in the back and ended up coming back with a two-month supply of free samples for him.
Saved my parents from paying $500 out of pocket for a drug he absolutely needed.
2. First-Class Trip to Awww-ville
My mom was dying, she lived in Australia and I live in Georgia. My husband had been laid off from work and I couldn't afford to fly to Australia on a last-minute basis.
A person that I only know from a message board used her frequent flyer miles and paid for my trip to Australia...not only that but she booked me, first class, both ways.

3. Three Times the Generosity
I had triplets last year and someone I work with has brought me a hot meal once a week or so for the entire first year of their lives, so I wouldn't have to worry about cooking. The thing is, she drops them off ninja-style, not wanting to impose.
She'll text me that she left something on the porch. It has been one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
4. Something to Be Thankful About
When I was in first grade, my mom was really struggling financially. She mentioned something about how hard Thanksgiving was going to be to another mom.
Well, the week before Thanksgiving, there was a raffle where we could win an entire Thanksgiving dinner. My teacher gave every student two cards from a deck. When she gave me mine, she kind of said "wait"
and checked them before she gave them back to me. I won the raffle.
Even if she hadn't checked the cards, I'd have suspected something. I never win anything.
