During dark times, it takes small acts of kindness to light up the world and spread joy. Reddit groups including Choosing Givers and Humans being bros are spreading hope in the world with many sharing small acts of kindness to strangers, reminding us to not give up on humanity. It takes a lot to be kind during hard times, but this Reddit group is proof that there are many people out there determined to be kind at every turn and hoping each one of us passes it on when the opportunity arises. Here are 20 of the top posts that we came across:
I put some action figures on eBay, a mom bought 2 but not the other 28 I had. She mssged to say her autistic son was excited to get them. She wished she could have bought more. I sent her all 30 of them, got a phone call, she thanked me and cried. We’re all friends to this day.
