People are sharing the kindest thing a stranger has ever done for them

People are sharing the kindest thing a stranger has ever done for them
05 March 2019

It can be hard to be positive when you look at the news. Brexit, Trump, rail prices, house prices, climate change, homelessness, politics… it’s a pretty overwhelming landscape at the moment.

It’s important to keep up with what’s going on at the world. But taking some time to look at the positives can be a big boost.

So this thread, started by writer Nicole Cliffe, was just what we needed.

Her question was simple: what is the kindest thing a stranger has done or said to you?

People’s responses range from the genuinely tear-jerking to the sweetly funny. 

And one story was genuinely amazing. 

So if you needed an excuse to go out and perform a random act of kindness, here it is – you never know whose day you’re going to change.
