What's the nicest thing you've done for a stranger?

Adopted a child. *Correction* ... I foster parented a child for several years, and then I adopted the child.

This is something I thought about but at the same time with my kids grown and gone I just kind of like being able to do what I want when I want.

So now I'm looking into CASA to volunteer and just be an advocate for children. Plus I volunteer with the Veterans Program in Dallas too.
 
On more than one occasion I've seen people drop money and told them to pick it up.
Gotten people construction jobs making prevailing wage and those who stuck with it got union books.
Helped brothers out of prison get careers and subsequently they never went back to prison.
Pulled over helped countless people with car troubles.
Bought food for the homeless while out grocery shopping.
Helped an elderly man who had fallen down and was confused in Oakland Park, Florida.
Taught a man how to operate and run a concrete truck knowing the manager would never hire him. Even gave him some cash off left over concrete I would sell at the days end.
My oldest son found a phone last summer and I called the owners mother from the contacts and got the phone back to the young man who'd lost it.
Once found a wallet with a green card and other forms of ID and took it to the address on the ID and gave it to them.
Me and friend once saw some white boys trying to get a fine drunk out her mind Black woman in their car and we intervened and got her on the train with us so she could get home. We were coming from Nells in 14th street in NYC in the early 90's.
 
Ive done a few. One day this kid was on the side of the road. I was running late for school. I exited and went around and asked if he needed help? He was like my dad is outta town and wont be here for a few hours. Took him to Wal-Mart he got a battery. Had to go back bec it was the wrong one. Got car started and he almost started crying and said Ive been out here for hours and not one person tried to help how can I repay you? I said perform a RAOK and keep the cycle moving. He was PUZZLED. I said random act of kindness. Shook his hand and told him when you shake a mans hand shake it with a firm grip. It shows confidence. Took my stank ass home bec school was out for my middle aged ass. :lol:
 
When I was in Arizona for a game. I stopped at store after a long night of kicking it. There was this old Black vet there that bought some groceries and he asked me could he use my phone to call a cab. Instead of letting him use my phone I gave the brother a ride. When I dropped him off, dude welled up and said that was the nicest thing that anyone has done for him. That shit almost made me misty because initially I didn't look at it like it was a big deal. However, dude had to be in his early 60s and had to walk about 10 miles to the store in that hot AZ heat.
 
Saved a few strangers' lives with First Aid / CPR and Heimlich Maneuver in these streets. Helped someone out of a busy intersection crosswalk after they had suffered a seizure just before oncoming traffic took off at the light. Very scary. Helped someone with a broken arm, clavicle and head injury after they had fallen down a steep staircase at rapid transit (above-ground version of subway). Pissed me off at all the people stepping over and walking around them.

Watched a pick-up truck jackknife on the highway towing a trailer. Driver was inside with the truck upside down in the ditch leaking gas. We pulled him to safety and flagged down another driver to call for help. This was back in the 90s when cellphones weren't as commonplace as today. Eery too as we watched them from a distance for awhile and had a feeling something might happen at that speed with minimal weight in the trailer itself.

Took 2 homeless brothers out for dinner. They were squeegee'ing car windows at a busy intersection for spare change. They were very appreciative and opened up about their battles with addiction and severe abuse at home that led them to run away. Encouraged them to pursue assistance and support-type services for youth/family. Hit home as I was just a bit older at the time.

yeah ive done that before.....but it was a white chick. she had her wallet sitting on top of the car and drove off.
of course it fell off and i picked it up. i was able to catch up wit her......and she thought i was following her.
bitch was doin like 90mph in a residential neighborhood......lol.
she pulled up into her driveway and i pulled in behind her......she's running to her front door and her husband is running out to meet her.
i get out the car and the husband realizes that he's too short to box with God,....so he's like....."whats going on?"
i show both of them the wallet that she dropped at the gas station and let em know i was trying to return it.
stupid bitch actually said she thought i was following her to rob her. :hmm:
i shoulda kept that fuckin wallet.
 
For an absolute stranger?
Lots of random stuff but the one that I guess would stand out is paying for a family that was on the street to live in a motel for 2 weeks
Family had everything in their car and no money to speak of nowhere to go and he was asking for change to get his kids some dinner. The look in his eyes let me know it wasn't no scam. Dude was swallowing all of his pride just trying to feed his family.
I went over to them after he asked me. I asked about their situation. There was a motel not too far. Told them to follow me. I stopped at McDonalds and got some value meals and happy meals
then went to the motel and paid for the 2 weeks and gave them the keys
The wife thanked me the kids were too little to know what's going on. they go inside and eat. I'm getting ready to leave and dude just comes up to me gives me a handshake says he'll never forget it asks me for my number I give it to him. I say alright then good luck or whatever and he just starts sobbing. Crying really hard so I stay for a little bit like 5 minutes nothing crazy then he gets himself together and goes in to be with his family

I forgot about it honestly and then I get a call a year later and it's him. I'm like oh shit what's up man and he's telling me how those 2 weeks bought him the time he needed to get a gig and get on his feet and he wanted to invite me to his house warming party they finally had enough money to rent a house.

I went and he hugged me his wife hugged me the kids hugged me his "friends" hugged me. It was awkward as fuck for me but I was just glad dude was back on his feet and his kids had a roof over their heads.

I'm a CASA.

The single mother came up about 8 bucks short for her groceries, so I told the cashier to just add it to my bill.
Found a woman's wallet in the Kroger parking filled with credit cards and money. Kroger paged her, and she wasn't there, so I looked at her license for the address and delivered it to her. It was an older black woman. She just stood there sobbing. We're still friends to this day.

I'm not going to lie to you, it's heavy. I love kids as well, because they need to be spoken for, but man, some of the shit you see will bring tears to your eyes. And there will be times where you'll have just admit to yourself that the child is better off with a foster family. You seem like a person that genuinely cares, and being that is the case, you'll lose some tears, but it's VERY rewarding and those kids will remember you for the rest of their lives.

Btw, I just started doing it, so I can imagine what I'll be seeing in the years to come.

oh yeah i use to and still kinda inform strangers about job openings/opportunities especially the youth.. especially black/hispanic people

kinda get the random kindness thing from my moms..she was very quietly a person that did it bigtime.. 1 thing she use to do was buy jumpropes, frisbees, tennis balls, dodge balls, bubbles, etc and hand them out at parks or when she'd visit me in elementary during my lunch break she'd carry a bag with all that shit in it and let all the lil kids use it..they thought she was the coolest.. she'd give out condoms and std info to all the teen males/females and older cats..in fact all the dudes who was teens in the 80's knew to stop by my crib to get free packages of rubbers from my mom.. she'd give money and shit to the homeless.. make mad copies of job openings and post them up in places like laundry, elevators, etc so that people can get the info and apply..she taught a lot of kids how to read and would have lot of the kids from my building over my crib cooking breakfast and playing board games, helping them with homework, letting them play with my old toys, reading my old kid books from the library she built when i was young..she gave my lil cuzz my old bike when she found out he got arrested for stealing somebody else bike..she was big on giving old clothes to the homeless..hell she still collect clothes and give it to people who need it..like i said she's done and still do mad shit..watching her as a lil kid inspired me
 
In BJ's Wholesale store one night. Standing in one of those long ass isles and the next thing you know this little girl runs into the isle (she had to be no older than 3). So I'm watching her as she touches stuff and looking to see if an adult comes into the isle but no one ever does. So I tell the little girl, "hey, let's go find mommy" and I stick out my hand. She holds my hand and we walk off (the girl is so little I had to bend over some to walk with her. Scary shit she's by herself.)... I'm headed to the security guy so he can help and I see a frantic woman looking around. She spots us and runs towards us. I say, "look we found mommy" and the little girl reaches for her. The mom picks her up and I tell her how I found her way back in the store. The mom and I exchange words of thanks, gratitude, etc. and I move on.

One day while walking an older blind woman tells me she got turned around somehow and needs some help getting redirected. I ask her where she's going and said "I'm headed that way to." (I wasn't but wanted to make sure she was ok). I ask if she minded if we walked together and he she says no. I give her my elbow and we walked and chatted. Found out she was in the city visiting family and was just out for a walk. I walked a half-mile with her to her location. She spent 5 minutes thanking me for the walk and the company after we arrived.

This could've gone in a whole different direction. Glad it worked out.
 
Changed a flat on 76 for a mom and her two little kids. I was fucking terrified that I could have been killed by a passing motorist, but getting them off the highway was more important.
 
Run ran outta gas on side the road, went get gas for him and give him $100


Dude just left the hospital with a two week ago baby. Was him, his wife, new baby and 4 other lil crumb snatchers.

Homeboy damn near started crying when he saw the amount.
