This is the story of a random act of kindness that will make the world seem a little bit brighter and social media less like a cold and cruel place peopled by trolls who hate everyone.
Utah resident Ron Lynch, who is a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service, received a request from Matthew Flores, a little boy on his mail route. He was fond of reading, but didn't have any books. So he asked Rob if there was any extra mail that he could read.
A very moved Rob wrote a post on Facebook asking his friends to help little Matthew. This post went viral like wildfire, with over 8,444 shares.
From across the world, people started sending books for Matthew.
Rob later thanked everyone for all the love shown to Matthew. Take a look at his post on Facebook.
And the gifts of the books still keep pouring in.
