Made Me Tear Up
No matterhorn many times I read this I get chills. And maybe teary eyes.
Those parents are such heroes, and we don't even realize at the time. I also grew up poor and had an a*****e home and it was only a few months ago that I had the epiphany that all the times my friends parents let me sleep over for days on end, or bought extra snacks before I came over, or just treated me like their own kid and gave me a sense of normalcy - they KNEW I was poor etc and supported me in those ways on purpose. Makes me cry thinking about how many amazing "parents" helped raise me and I didn't even realize it at the time...

I'm 16, Over 300lbs, And Just Went On My First Walk In Over A Year
You are so young! Keep it up and you could have a long healthy future ahead of you.
I know your comment is from 2 months ago, but here is an update from OP(although this one is quite old as well): https://www.reddit.com/user/Syk11k/comments/16nxe05/im_back/
Load More Replies...While scrolling through the internet, we never really know what’s coming next. One minute it’s a funny cat flopping off a table, the next, it’s breaking news that makes your chest feel heavy. And while being informed matters, so does your peace of mind. Not everything has to weigh you down. Sometimes, it’s okay to pause, breathe, and find joy in something small. After all, your sanity deserves it.
Studies have shown that constantly consuming distressing content can ramp up anxiety and stress. Your sleep suffers, your mood takes a hit, and suddenly everything feels a bit off. That’s why good stories matter more than we think. They pull us back, soften the hard edges of the world. They remind us that goodness still exists, quiet, steady, and real. You just have to notice it.
Today I Have Been Sober For One Year. Coincidentally, This Has Been The Best 365 Days Of My Life. Perhaps Even Consequently So. All I Know Is That I Feel Great
I am so happy for you!! My ex has been an a****t most of his life and has been sober now for 2 years and he said he feels better than he ever has!! Keep it up, even when it's hard!
congrats! this year i'm achieving 6 years sober! also the best of my life.
Good on you, brother! Glad to know that yet another has joined me on this journey! It really is the best!!!!
This Guy Being A True Boss
This is what being a decent human being looks like.
Load More Replies...We do. It's too big of a problem, and too sporadic to rely on individuals, so we pay taxes and vote for people who will enact policies that will build shelters for homeless and rehab places for d**g addicts. It's often too big We do that... don't we?
Load More Replies...I hate when people assume some one is on d***s when its just something else. The smallest act of kindness and patience is what this guy needed. Thank you
Great that you made the effort to find out what was going on and then helped him.
I don't understand why the police are continually hassling him but not making their and his life easier by directing him to a homeless shelter?
Homeless shelters are not always safe. Lots of people have had their meagre belongings stolen or have received threats of violence. Many choose to stay in their car because they can lock themselves in.

"You Have A Village Even When You Don’t Know It"
I was dropped off by my bus driver right outside where I needed to go, fairly far from the actual stop and much to the surprise of the other passengers. Yes, kind people do exist!
Kindness is all around us even now.. You just don't see it on the news except as a novelty clip. War and crime make more compelling news stories. There should be a show which shows only good news and runs concurrently with the news. We will need all of the kindness we can get over the next few years.
And that’s where wholesome posts come in; they’re little antidotes to chaos. Today, we’ve got a story that’s going to feel like a cozy blanket on a bad day. It’s not flashy or dramatic, just honest and kind. Bored Panda spoke to a man who doesn’t just talk kindness, he sews it. Meet Ravi Shah, a tailor from Gujarat who stitches joy into every thread.
Known lovingly as “Mota Bhai” or Big Brother, Ravi isn’t your average tailor. He’s taken leftover fabric from his clients and turned it into something magical. Instead of tossing scraps, he uses them to make outfits for kids in need. His goal? To make every child feel seen, loved, and fashionable. And he’s doing just that.
What A Wholesome Couple
Nursing homes (care homes etc) are another place where they appreciate flowers!
Now that is PRECIOUS ❤️❤️thank you to anyone as does this it’s beautiful xx
Dad Taking His Son To Places
What An Amazing Love Story
Though I'm happy for him, I can't help but be jealous. Never had anything like this in my life. No one has ever found me attractive. The last time I got an unsolicited comment on my appearance I was 6 years old. I'm over 40 now.
I was the same. Even my exes never called me good looking or beautiful. Just 'you are a real nice person' sort of compliments. My classmates, colleagues used to make fun of my looks. One even called me an egg because I have a round face. Then I found my husband. He is a really good looking guy and I have no idea how he finds me beautiful. I too waited 38 years for this to happen
Load More Replies...I love this guy’s story. He could so easily have become part of the incel culture, but instead he chose to stay kind. I‘m happy things worked our for him and wish them nothing but the best.
Ravi remembers his first trip to a mall like it was yesterday. “It felt like walking into a dream,” he says. But that dream came with price tags too steep for many. Seeing street kids in worn-out clothes never sat right with him. The memory lingered, long after the mall lights faded. So, he decided to do something about it, with a needle and a heart full of empathy.
“Most of these kids wear hand-me-downs or whatever they find,” Ravi explained. “Some shirts drown them, others barely fit.” And he couldn’t unsee it. That discomfort, that lack of dignity, it sparked an idea. “I thought, why not use leftover cloth?” he said. “Why not make something just for them, made with care?” That’s how it began.
Been Stuck Inside For Weeks After Major Surgery. Told My Husband That I Miss Outside, Particularly The Stars And Moon. He Later Serves Me Lunch With Cheese He Cut Into Stars And Moons
He says I know that’s not what you want but here’s a placeholder until I can get you outside. I married a good man.
That's so cute and thoughtful. Not to mention that this salad looks really good.
It does. I like nuts on salad, but never tried peanuts.

Protect This Man
This is why I go out of my way to be extra nice to the adults starting at my dojang (taekwondo school). It takes a lot of courage to be a beginner, especially when you're "supposed" to know stuff already as an adult. A little grace goes a long way in making people feel comfortable, and I love seeing people gain a passion for the same thing as me, no matter where or when they come from.
When I was six, my Mom thought it would help me (I was a little Gay boy and got picked on a lot) if I learned Taekwondo. The first day, the Sabom-nim screamed at me in front of everyone and made me pee myself. So much for that.
Load More Replies...I bet his humility will have a big positive impact on the little girl as well.
“When customers leave extra fabric, I always ask if I can use it,” he shared. With those bits and pieces, he crafts everything from tiny kurtas to fun little dresses. He doesn’t ask for payment, and he never expects praise. During his quiet hours, he sews, bringing life to what others would discard.
Ravi measures each child carefully, just like any paying customer. “Depending on the fabric, I create what fits best,” he said. There’s joy in watching a tunic come together from four random prints. And when the kids try it on? The room lights up. “Their excitement makes it worth every second,” he said, smiling.

My Dad Is Afraid To Fly, So When I Was 5 Years Old I Made Him A Doll To Hold On The Plane. Mom Just Sent Me This Picture. He Is Packed To Come Visit Me. The Doll Is 43 Years Old
I totally get it. I hate flying. Have to go on a business trip this Tuesday 🙄, and even though it is only in Europe, I am already anxious.
Some of Ravi’s clients have caught on to his mission. “A few even bring me extra material just for this,” he said proudly. “They know I’ll put it to good use.” And he does, no scrap goes to waste in his shop. With each piece, a little more hope is stitched into the seams. Kindness really is contagious, isn’t it?
Animals Care
My dog (only had one at the time) knew my mom had thyroid cancer before anyone. She used to bump my mom's neck with her nose and lick it. Now with my grandma, both of my dogs will lay next to the couch she is on and keep an eye on her.
Load More Replies...My cat did similar through my cancer battle. He wasn't a cuddly lap cat before, but during he was often my snuggle pillow.
I tripped, twisted my ankle, and while lying on the floor my dog sat on my chest. So... there's that.
i was feeling really down after a tough day at work waiting for some food to cook my cat climbed up on the table walked over to me and climbed into my arms for a cuddle its like he knew i needed it right there.
My chihuahua mix can tell when anyone is upset or having a panic attack. She'll snuggle up and demand to be held and coddled.
Wait I have a chihuahua mix too! Do you know what other breeds your dog is?
Load More Replies...My dog is like this, after I gave birth she refused to leave my side all day and night
My two cockatiels will sit on my shoulders and preen my hair whenever they see me upset. Instant and very cute therapy 😁
When my M.E is bad one of my cats checks in. Paws my face to see I'm alive. And defends me if the other cats get too rowdy on the bed. They absolutely know.
Cats know. Two of my cats have shown worry - or at least curiosity - when I have cried, coming to me and sniffing my face. The first time I was sitting, bent over a table, crying with my face on my forearms, and when I lifted my head I was startled to see my cat on the table sniffing my hair. He never did that before.
She Is A Great Kid And I’m Lucky To Be Her Mom

What a wonderful child you have raised. I'm so impressed that she is trying to learn Korean to make him feel more comfortable! This girl is destined for great things!
I'm In Tears Just From Reading That
What a thoughtful Dad! My Dad died a long time ago but to this day, I still miss him.
Dios te bendiga y se que desde donde esta tu padre sonrio y te bendijo....
my dad died two weeks ago, very suddently and unexpectedly. cherish this forever! All i have left is a last conversation where we were excited as i was moving to their town a week later and I was going to get to be closer to him and my mom.
Ravi’s favorite part? Making clothes that don’t look secondhand. “I want them to feel like they’re wearing something new and cool,” he said. No saggy collars or outdated designs. Just bright, cheerful clothes made with love. “They should feel proud, not pitied.” And in those moments, they do.
They Made The Photo Better
You got the picture, and it's a good one. The foreground is pretty special. You'll always remember their kindness, and you have the picture to prove it.
Ooh, I am in the exact same train right now! Except the weather is foggy so no Mount Fuji for us...
My Aunt Saved My Life By Being A Live Liver Donor For Me
I have an autoimmune disease called PSC. After 15 years with the disease I was at the end stages of liver failure and was placed on the transplant list as of February this year. I knew it would be years on the list and was told I might not be healthy enough to go through a live liver donor. We did some work and got my health to a place where I could handle a live liver transplant.
I didn’t ask anyone but told my family my status and my aunt immediately volunteered. She gave up so much to be able to do this for me. Went through lots of tests and appointments just to get to this point. We are two weeks post surgery and although recovery has been tough, we are both heading in the right direction. I’m so thankful for this new gift of life she so graciously has given me.
That's a wonderful and selfless thing to do, 100% top tier Aunty there
I hope you are best friends bcos if u get in a fight I think u just gave her a winning card 🤣❤️
About A Week Ago A Little Girl Left Behind Her Teddy Bear At Our Hotel. We Made Sure Auggie Had An Amazing Adventure Before Being Sent Back Home
My Duckams accidentally got taken away with our hotel bedding when I was like 6 years old, at a large hotel in Boston. There are no words for how distraught I was. Apparently the hotel's entire housekeeping department came to a total standstill until Duckams was finally found. He came back nice and clean.
45ish years ago, my sister left her Teddy at the airport, he was found and looked after. when he made his way home, he came with a packet of Smarties and a letter explaining all the fun he had on his adventure.
That’s a back handed comment if ever I heard one M
Load More Replies...He still remembers one little girl twirling in her new birthday dress. Her mother had asked for a fairy outfit, and Ravi gave it his all. “I used every colorful scrap I had,” he laughed. The result? A rainbow-hued masterpiece that brought pure joy. “She looked like magic,” he said. And for him, that memory will always sparkle.
Pizza Shop Owner Being A Pizza Bro
It’s the”I have more love for you than you think” part that gets me. We should all be like this.

After Nearly 2 Months Of Being Unemployed, Horrible Depression, And Eating Nothing But Rice And Beans For The Past Two Weeks I Now Have 2 Jobs
I am not only very happy, but extremely grateful.
While I'm pleased for the guy, we shouldn't be living in a world where people need to work TWO jobs just to survive.
Oh, sorry, I also applaud your efforts at holding 2 jobs 👏👏👏. Delicious food is always a distraction for me 😅
Load More Replies...Good for you, but anyone should be able to make a living wage out of one job. Oh, Americ, why so much wrong with you?
Despite all the praise, Ravi keeps it simple. “There’s no master plan,” he shrugged. “Just doing what I can, with what I have.” No big announcements, no fancy campaigns. Just quiet consistency and heart. “Kindness doesn’t need noise to be real,” he added as he picked up his next patch of fabric.

I’ve Been Talking About It For Ages. Today Was Finally The Day
My dad always said if it needs to move but doesn’t = WD40. If it moves and isn’t supposed to = duct tape. I have passed this on to my kids and they’ve passed it on to theirs. My oldest granddaughters first tool box included both😊 The younger ones will receive said toolbox
Load More Replies...I have a WD40 pen that can fit in a pocket. It's perfect for small things.
I don't, because I didn't know they existed, but I want one.
Load More Replies...WD-40 is not for everything, do your research! For metal-on-metal parts, a White Lithium Grease is preferable...
Ah… but as a kid, I remember liking the squeaky rhythmic sound while swinging.
You can actually use wd-40 to get rid of wasps nests too. Knock them down and spray, they wd-40 will prevent the nest from being able to attach
I Suffer From Severe Depression. Traveled More Than 6000 Miles (9800 Kms) For A Solo Vacation To L.A. I Never Been This Happy In Years
This is what I need to do. Yeah, I have bad depression sometimes. It hits and I'm tired of it. Medications didn't work. I eat well, brain foods. I get sunlight. I exercise. I'm sober. I have goals. I keep a journal. I do Therapy. I learn new things. I've considered electric shock treatment but I can't afford it without insurance. I'm learning more about self defeating personality and trying to identify my triggers. I'm still hopeful I can heal my brain. I keep working on it. I get dysphoric but that's different than my depression episodes. As much as I've learned about psychology I do believe it's more trauma from childhood over clinical. It could be stamped clinical but I have digged deep within me to see as much as I could about my behaviors. I'm misdiagnosed Bipolar a lot and it's not the case. It's really disheartening health care professionals can't seem to understand BPD vs Bipolar 😕 and self defeating has been taken out of the DSM. I have low self esteem and that can trigger the depression as well as loneliness. But, when it hits I can't function. I tell myself.. why you have such low self esteem!!? You're such a fighter and such a brave girl!! No, it just comes from the lack of from mommy and daddy as a kid and I deal with it everyday.
How many medications did you try? It took my doc and I quite a while (years really) to get the specific combinations and doses that worked best for me. Just because one thing (or 3 or 4) doesn't work doesn't mean you should give up. Also don't be too hard on yourself when you're having a bad day. Sometimes you just have to let it go and hope tomorrow will be better.

I think all us depressed people ought to have a meet up at Disneyland together.
So here’s your reminder: goodness exists. Sometimes in grand gestures, sometimes in stitched seams. Ravi’s story isn’t just about tailoring clothes; it’s about crafting dignity, one child at a time. Just like these heartwarming posts, his work reminds us what really matters. Which part made you smile today? Let us know in the comments.

It Was Nice She Did That, But Sad Teachers Have To Help Students With This Sort Of Thing In The First Place
It's shameful that teachers have to buy anything for their students. The schools should be providing it!
If you really believe that, you have to vote for state legislators who understand the value of education instead of ones that say they will lower your taxes. The schools (and teachers) are the victims of the lower taxes that citizens "enjoy".
Load More Replies...What?! You have to buy supplies for the students? That is messed up
It's horrible. I know a lot of teachers and you can always tell when the school year is approaching because they will post wish lists from Amazon, etc. that people can purchase from. No teacher should have to carry the burden but they all do.
Load More Replies...The Department of Education was created to provide money to schools in poor areas that lacked the funding of schools in wealthier areas. The traitor trump axed this department, ensuring that teachers will have to do more of this. If you voted for the criminal trump, you support inequality in education. BTW, how are those egg prices, trumpers?
So not only your teachers need to find jobs during summer to be able to pay rent and eat, they also have to buy students supplies from their own money? And you all think that is normal? Telling a country sees basic education as worthless, and higher education as business model, instead of a necessity for the future of a country. This is not a "feel good"-story, this is just sad
Yeah welcome to the dystopia of teaching. The average teacher spends $800 a year because there aren't any provided supplies. It's just expected of us. And if we send a supply list some parents get mad, some can't afford to buy anything, and we can't let the kids go without and still do our job.

My Wife Draws A Picture On My Lunch Bag Every Day. This Is One Of My Favorites
I do this for my husband too, but my art isn't good. I use a lot of stickers to help my art. He also enjoys the fun lunch bags. I'm glad to see others do it as well. My dad had put a smile face on my lunches when I was a kid and now I like to make nice bags for my husband. It was one of my rare happy childhood memories. Despite the paper waste, I don't care.

Pay for the beer with the money your dad wanted you to use, then give the bartender a 20 dollar bill and ask for two 10's back (or give bartender a different tenner and ask for your dad's one back).

It was my 19th birthday last week and my little brother told me that he wasn’t able to buy me anything. Instead, he made me these because I was so excited about the switch 2 reveal earlier this month.

I'm Staying In The Hospital With My Son, Who Is Autistic And Extremely Picky. The Cook Also Has A Picky Autistic Child And Made Sure He Got All His Favorite Things To Eat
Autism = familiarity. Usually, things eaten when younger that they like is the thing they will like to eat for a long time. Source: Me, an ADHD-autistic person
Despite knowing this, my mum tries to push my sister (25, ASD & ADHD) into ordering different things when we go out for dinner. My sister will order a schnitzel with lemon every time.

'It was our two year (dating) anniversary. We rented a little cabin in dripping springs, Texas (wine country) to just get away and enjoy each other's company. Apparently he came early while I was at work to decorate the whole cabin with lights and a sign. When we showed up I opened the door, saw the sign and froze. I turned around and he was on one knee with a ring he had gotten made from his grandmother's diamonds. If you can't tell from the photo, I screamed "YES" and haven't stopped smiling since.'

Public school teachers lay out hundreds per year on average from an already meager salary (US). I don't know if it passed, but I know for a fact Republicans have tried to eliminate the out of pocket being tax deductible. Party of pure malice and cruelty.
Republicans don't want educated people, because educated people don't vote Republican. It literally is that simple.
Load More Replies...That must be the US, my dad was a teacher and he never spent one krone of his own money on his work, and I've never met a teacher that has, apart from maybe bringing cake on their birthday.
In Australia teachers don't have to pay either. The school (not teacher) might pay for part or all of the resources, or the parents will. I am an early childhood and primary teacher and have found that in privately owned preschools etc teachers will buy some additional things, but they are supposed to be reimbursed. I find it too tempting sometimes to buy things from op shops (second hand) because it's cheaper than the suppliers our organisation has accounts with.

My Son And I Made A Tiny Library And Donated It To Our Township - Installed Today
I saw a clip today of someone who built something like this, but it was a tiny art museum. It's filled with little drawings and paintings. You can take one or add one to the museum. I thought that was a really fun and unusual idea.
Such a lovely idea! And as a bonus, it might inspire a lot of people to make a tiny painting, which is something most people probably never do, so it could be a very fun experience.

In my town a couple make these type of boxes.They are called 'Blessing Box'.They are spread out in different places and have non perishable food items for people in need.People can go also to add items. The couple also have a site to drop off food and they make sure the blessing boxes are full.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I just broke down sobbing reading this. My dad said something like this to me. I had to move home in my early 30s after a relationship ended and I felt horrible about being in the way. One day I told my dad I was working really hard to get out on my own and get out of his way so he can do his own things and he said "Honey, you and your sister ARE my own things and you're never in the way".😭😭😭
This Duck Feeder Appeared In My Local Park By The River
For £1.50 it dispensed quite a bit of food. I fed some to the ducks and gave some to a couple of passers-by with children so they could feed them also.
This should be posted in more places! Many people still think it's OK to feed bread to ducks.
If I'm going somewhere I know there are ducks I take a bag of frozen peas - they thaw by the time I get there. I carry almonds and walnuts for squirrels as well!

Accidentally Backed Into Her Car The Night Before
I hit a guy at a toll booth and really didn't want my insurance to go up so I begged him to just let me pay for the damage. He begrudgingly agreed to take my business card so he could contact me with the price. He emailed me the next day to tell me his friend was able to get the dent out in his garage so I didn't have to worry about paying for it. I was so happy I dent him $100.00 so he could take his wife out for a nice dinner.
A friend was driving down a narrow street. He clipped a van. He couldn't stop at the time, but went back 5 minutes later and left a note. . The following day, the police were on his doorstep for failing to leave his details at the scene of a crash. Turned out he'd left the note on the wrong vehicle! The police were able to verify his story, and everything was fine.
