Strangers’ Small Acts That Changed Lives Forever: Stories That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity
I was trying to get to this village of like 60ish people. As you can imagine, not a lot of traffic in the area. So I’m walking in 40°C weather on this road forgotten by the world itself that stretches from the previous “bigger” village and all the way to the one I’m trying to get to with another one in between, somewhere along the way.
I’m straight up about to pass out when this janky 90s ford shows up at the horizon rolling towards me. I saw they were packed so I didn’t even try to hitch it, but they stopped anyways. They took me in even though we had to basically climb on top of each other (7 people, small ford. We probably looked like a clown car.). They were this super sweet family on their way to pick an onion field in the village before mine. I told them they could just drop me off there and I’d walk the rest, but they absolutely refused and insisted they drive me all the way. They told me all about their crops, their life in the countryside and how everything was simpler there and asked me about the city. They asked me why I’m trying to get to the middle of f*****g nowhere and when I told them, getting all emotional in the process, they offered me compassion and a word of advice.
It was incredibly wholesome. I hope they’re doing well these days and their onions are flourishing!
I posted in r/Assistance because my mom got scammed for $32 which counts for a lot in a household of six. My siblings and I couldn’t help her out since we’ve had a bad year, our emergency funds were drained and our paychecks come once a month. My mom felt incredibly dumb and was also crying because this came at such a bad time.
Most people didn’t believe my story. However, one kind user went out of his way to help me. As I live in Hungary, most apps besides PayPal don’t work here. He didn’t have PayPal but created one just for me. And then, he sent me the money… TWICE.
