Driver gives her last money to man in need and receives a big surprise

One act of kindness a day could change the world...
Acts of kindness can really brighten someone's day and even change a person's life.
And this is specifically the reason why we love to share anything that we find online that has in some way shown that people are still practicing kindness out there.
Because if you're honest with yourself, as we are, you will admit that sometimes it can be really difficult to remember that the simple things do matter.
A wonderful story that reminded us of kindness took place between strangers. When jewellery designer and activist Isaiah Garza shared an encounter he had with a postal delivery driver.
Garza is known for using his social media to share random acts of kindness. In this case he acted like he did not have enough money to ride the bus and asked for help from Danny, who was just sorting out her parcels for delivery.
You see the thing is that Isaiah was once homeless and wants to do his best to help change people's lives with kindness.
As he approached her, he explained that he didn't have enough money to get home and was hoping she could help.
So as she held a parcel in her one hand, she told him to take her last money, which was $5. He was so taken aback by her kindness that he went ahead and told her that his mission for the day was to surprise the first person who helped him out with $300.
She was left shocked and even got emotional. Danny went on to share that she always helps people. He handed her the money and went back in to give her another $100.

After speaking to her more, he discovered that she is retiring soon. He went on to share that she is such a beautiful soul.
See how something so simple for her turned out to be life-changing? Because Garza was in fact giving back to someone who is always helping others, and this pattern of paying it forward will continue because of both of their kind gestures.
