This company paid off their employee's student loans

I got hired by a company that found out I was being hounded by collection agencies for defaulting on a student loan, and they paid it off for me. I had only worked there 4 months, they changed my life.

An anonymous donor helped pay for this Twitter user's son's treatment: "One day, I got a card in the mail. The word 'karma' was written inside, with a smiley face next to it. Several hundred dollars fell out."

My teenage son was very ill. Paying for his ongoing treatment was very expensive. One day, I got a card in the mail. The word 'karma' was written inside, with a smiley face next to it. Several hundred dollars fell out. Totally anonymous. Never figured out who sent it.

A stranger helped a man having a heart attack while driving

I've told this story before, but a stranger saw my dad having a heart attack while driving. Guy jumped in, steered the car off the road and called 911. He then drove the car to the hospital. He saved my dad's life not long after my mom died. I'll never forget that stranger! https://t.co/DOiVRC7KPl

This woman sold 25 pieces of furniture to someone who needed them - all for $25

I left my ex & bought a house from a woman who'd gotten divorced under similar circumstances. She asked me what furniture I needed.

“Everything. Dressers, beds, couches, coffee table...”

“Make a list & I'll give you prices”

I listed 25 items. She sold it all to me for $25. https://t.co/jTTY99mhgF

This man apologised for busting up someone's bike as a kid - and donated to her GoFundMe cause

I'm an MA student, & I recently ran a Go Fund Me campaign to help send me to the Heterodox Academy conference in NY. I received a large donation from a guy in my hometown who, when I was 11, bullied me and busted up my bike with a few other guys. Here was the message he sent me: https://t.co/ni4r890TaG pic.twitter.com/Hbxt1CFfa7

"I was in tears in the stall in the bathroom at the shopping mall. Someone handed me a two dollar bill under the stall door."

Then, in the new city, working in my dream job, I was in tears in the stall in the bathroom at the shopping mall. Someone handed me a two dollar bill under the stall door. I wasn't in financial need, but that small act of kindness meant so much.

This restaurant owner helped out a starving student.

The toast was half the price of a pot of tea so I was hopeful. The owner went to the back and returned with a bowl full of every food they served and a pot of tea. I wasn't allowed to pay and was told to keep my full stamp card for the next time. They saved me that month. 2/2
