A few years ago, my husband woke me up early in the morning and asked me where my passport was. I say, “In my bag!” And he snidely says, “Where’s your bag?”
It turns out that yesterday I wandered around a construction hypermarket and left it there while I was looking at something. The bag was found, they took out my passport and started to check on the database, whether I had a loyalty card from their shop.
There was no card. They started to look if my husband had a card (they found his name in the passport). In general, the kind people didn’t just leave it but found me, and I was unaware and was sleeping peacefully.
I ran to the shop, they gave me the bag, and there were a lot of things I needed — documents, money…
The security guard, a good man with a sense of humor, laughed, saying that things happen. He didn’t take the money I offered to him. There are a lot of good people out there, they just don’t flaunt their kindness.

35 years ago, I was trying on dresses in a wedding atelier and left a few gold rings on the shelf in the fitting room. I went out with a friend, we were walking, and suddenly it was like an electric shock: my fingers were bare! And it was already late, the atelier had already closed.
The next day, I rushed there after work, and the employee silently opened the drawer of her desk and gave me my riches back. My joy and gratitude were limitless! I still remember how this woman looked.

My boyfriend and I got on a bus. He started looking in his pockets for his wallet, but it wasn’t there!
It so happened that I hadn’t brought any money with me, either. So, we are sitting, there are a lot of people, we don’t know what to do. It’s not an option to return home, as we are late.
The girl sitting opposite us pulls out her wallet and says, “Guys, I understand you, I was in a similar situation, I’ll pay for you.” We were red with shame! We tried to say that we didn’t need to, to which she didn’t pay attention and paid. There are still good people out there.

My older sister used to tell everyone as a kid that she would only marry a guy who had a full collection of hippos from Kinder Surprise. It’s been about 20 years since then, and the childhood promise has, of course, lost its relevance.
Recently, her childhood friend unexpectedly proposed to her, who had long been in love with her, but didn’t dare to confess to her. He gave her a ring in a box that said, “I spent all my conscious life on it, even had to go abroad in search of some of them. Marry me!” And there were all the hippos from that very collection in the box along with the ring.
The sister fulfilled her promise. © Chamber 6 / VK

I am a single mother. Sometimes I have to take my 4-year-old daughter to work.
Fortunately, my boss has never minded my daughter’s visits and is very nice to me and her. On the last such visit, my boss pointed out that my daughter often plays with plasticine. I replied that she just loves modeling.
And the next day the boss gave me 20 boxes of plasticine. I was shocked by this kindness! You should have seen the happy eyes of my child.
And I am also happy that I have such caring and kind people around me, and I am very grateful to my boss for this wonderful gift. © Chamber 6 / VK

When I was a child, I saw a street cat catch a pigeon on my way to school. It was floundering, but the cat grabbed it even harder and carried it somewhere.
I didn’t know what to do, but I wanted to save the bird. I ran up and opened the cat’s mouth with my hands. The pigeon flew away.
When I looked more closely at the cat, I saw that he was all wounded and very thin. I couldn’t leave him like this. I didn’t go to school that day because I took the cat to our house.
My mom is the kindest woman in the world, so she understood me and even praised me. We fed the cat, bathed him, and treated his wounds. And we named him Tishka.
Tishka has been living with us for 12 years now. © Chamber 6 / VK

Bought a trolley-load of groceries for a mum of a large family that I don’t personally know but who I knew were incredibly hard up and who had just had to adopt her sister’s kids, and had it delivered for them anonymously. © beautifulpumpkin / Reddit
