12 Stories That Prove Kindness Can Turn Shadows Into Light

In 2008, I was in college and figuring out what to do for the next two or three days, until I was next paid, for food with approximately $6 in my bank account. Walking home from an evening class, I found $20 on the sidewalk. I couldn’t believe my luck. I could get ground beef, eggs, milk, whatever — I knew I’d be set for two days.

Well, not a week later, I lost my cellphone and was in a panic. I needed it and couldn’t afford to replace it anytime soon. Later that day, my mom, who lived four hours away, called my brother’s cellphone and told him that someone had called her saying they had found my cellphone and would like to return it.

I met this homeless man who said he had found my cellphone in some grass. He had opened it and called “Mom” and spoke to my mom about returning it. I thanked him and gave him $20 for his help — it wasn’t my $20 to begin with, anyway. © giugno / Reddit
