I went to buy vacuum bags but forgot my wallet. The shop owner handed me the bags anyway and just said, “Bring the money tomorrow.”
He had no reason to trust me, but he did. And I returned the next day to repay him. © Independent-Bike8810 / Reddit

I was a few coins short for the bus while trying to turn in a major exam project. A homeless man gave me his last change so I could make it on time. I offered something from my bag, but he declined.
He simply said, “Just help the next homeless person you see.” © Sozle / Reddit
Story 9
On a lunch break from a soul-crushing job, I sat alone in a McDonald’s, clearly miserable. A man in his 40s or 50s walked over and said, “You look really sad. Things will get better.” He shook my hand and left.
For a stranger to offer that kind of support it meant more than he could know. © Unknown author / Reddit
Story 10
In high school, I forgot my lunch, and my last dollar got stuck in the vending machine. A note taped nearby said, “If you need a snack, use the coins under here :)”
I checked—three quarters were hidden just like the note said. I bought a granola bar and felt seen. The next day, I returned the favor by adding a dollar.
That note stayed up for the whole semester. One act of kindness started a chain reaction.
