One day to her initial appointment a boy from junior school comes in.
At the beginning of the massage, he was silent, thinking about something, but after 7 minutes he suddenly asked her the following question: “Do your hands get very tired and sore at the end of the day?", Mom replied: “Yes, very much...”. A minute later the boy suddenly gets up, starts getting dressed and tells her: “rest a little, I won’t tell anyone” and left. Mom was so amazed that she stood silently in the office for some time and did not even notice how tears of emotion ran down her cheeks. This is how well-mannered children are :)

Do it, guys. good!!! It will come back to you a hundredfold!!!

These are the kind of good regular clients we have. It was so nice that I smiled at everyone all day. Thank you!!! We have sooo many such stories in our bank. And I noticed: that if I do good to someone, someone will definitely help me in some way, or vice versa. Help each other!!!

I live ten kilometers from the city, after ten in the evening the buses don’t go and I have to hitch a ride for 200 rubles...
So, I’m standing there along with about 15 other people, a car pulls up, a driver of Caucasian nationality, and takes with him a full cabin (4 people), including me, and takes me to Lesnaya Polyana, and when we gave him the money, he refused and said: “ Not a taxi driver and I didn’t care on the way))) And later I found out that he takes people home for free every day!!!

I want to tell a story after which our whole family believed that good people still exist...
The fact is that about 5 years ago my parents were driving from Yakutsk to Rostov-on-Don by car. We were moving then, and they decided to travel one last time, to see Russian nature. It was autumn. At night, mom and dad slept, and at dawn they rode again. And as you know, there are no roads in our country, especially where the government does not drive. So, on some off-road section, some kind of belt breaks (I don’t know much about cars). Dad decides to hitch a ride and go to a car service center to get the belt. And no one stops, as if out of spite, and it’s already getting a little dark on the street and there’s no point in walking, since dad would only get there in the morning.
Then, as dad says, he understood why people were passing by; he was dressed in work clothes and, of course, with an overgrown beard. In general, according to my dad, he “looks like a homeless person.” And yet, luck smiled at him; an elderly man stopped. They agreed that they would take dad to a car service center and he would catch another ride there. Meanwhile, my mother was sitting alone in the car, praying and waiting for a miracle. But then the man suggested, what if the belt doesn’t fit? And he said that he would take him to the car and until dad started the car, he would not leave.
And as if his words were a prophecy, the belt turned out to be short. So these golden people took mom and dad to their house, fed them and put them to bed. And in the morning, the man and dad went to a car service center and bought a suitable belt. The parents did not know how to thank their saviors. They flatly refused money, and dad noticed that the side mirror on their old car was torn off and bought it as a gift. I don’t know what would have happened if it weren’t for these golden people! I really want there to be as many caring people as possible who are not afraid to do good deeds. I believe in us people and in our kindness.

Today my daughter and I entered a subway car, there were almost no empty seats, and the last empty seat closest to us was occupied by a boy of 8-9 years old, who entered with his dad in front of us...
Dad saw us and nodded his head in our direction to the boy and signaled to his son. The boy stood up, walked up to my daughter and said: “Sit down!” It was so nice!))) When I saw another free seat, I went up to them and said that it was free, dad said: “It’s okay, we’re already adults, we’ll stand” and winked at his son, to which he smiled so sincerely as a child and happily. These are the kind of men we need to raise, parents!))
For my 16th birthday, I was given a lot of balloons, and we also decorated the apartment...
In general, the birthday passed, and there were a lot of balloons left, but my friend and I found a use for them - we collected everything in an armful and went to give it to the children on the street =) What a joy it was! Many did not believe that it was just like that, someone was shy until we ourselves approached, but the happy faces of the children inspired us so much :) And on the way back we walked and saw all “ours” walking with balloons, it’s a wonderful feeling to bring joy to someone.
