Homeless Man Leaves Touching Sign Thanking Kind Strangers After Getting a Job

Most of us are so lucky that we’ll never know how hard it is to have to stand in the street and ask strangers for help. But there are so many people who have to do just that, for so many different reasons. They’ve fallen on hard times or lost their job or even their homes, and now they have to rely on the kindness of people they don’t even know.

Talia Schlanger, the host of “World Cafe” on NPR, shared a tweet about a man she’d see asking for help on the street who one day wasn’t at the spot where she usually saw him. She tweeted the circumstances: “For the past year, a very nice man has been standing on the bridge that’s on my way to work with a sign saying he was having a hard time and could use a hand. Today, this is what it read.” And she included a picture of a cardboard sign written in marker that said, “My last week out here I got a job thank you to everyone who has helped during this hard time.”

How nice is it that the man left a thank you note? The sign served not only as a way to show appreciation but also as an explanation to anyone who might have gotten used to seeing him and possibly chatting with him and would be worried that he just suddenly disappeared.

Schlanger followed up the tweet with more information. She wrote that he got hired by a man in New Jersey to build cabinets and was given a place to stay during the job by the same man.

People on Twitter responded to Schlanger’s tweet because they were so moved.

One person asked if she knew the name of the company that hired him, saying they deserved extra customers.

Schlanger’s post was retweeted by the Kale Salad account, and it was also posted on their Instagram, where it received almost 250,000 likes.

And a whole lot of comments!

It’s nice to see some good news to counter all the bad.

Woman Sees Another Woman Being Filmed And Bullied At The Gym And Reacts In The Best Way Possible

There are many times in life when we witness people doing the wrong thing. When we see people ganging up on others, bullying them, and putting them down, we can’t help but wonder—why?!? What can we do to help those who are the victims, or, prevent the bullies from further attacking and hurting others again? The sad part is that we can’t truly stop bullies from being who they are—horrible people. What we can do is try and help those who feel bullied and try and help them understand that they are not alone and not everyone in the world is a complete waste of space and piece of garbage.

One woman recently was working out at the gym and noticed that other gym goers were mocking and filming a woman working out. Instead of ignoring the situation, she jumped into action and decided to show the woman that not everyone is a garbage person.

People who saw the story on Reddit were touched to see that the user took the time to go out of her way and speak to the woman, and, even workout with her to make her feel less nervous and a bit more comfortable getting into the swing of a new routine.

Thank you for being a kind person in a world of horrible, ugly people. Bless!

32 Times Women Proved There’s Nothing More Powerful Than Supporting Other Women

Girls are conditioned from a young age to view other women as competition rather than a support system. We are taught that there simply aren’t enough jobs, opportunities, and sexual partners to go around, so we frequently avoid trusting other females. That’s why it’s so heartening to see women defying this outdated and regressive stereotype to lift up and support other women without question.

“Supporting other women” can mean a variety of things — it can mean offering words of encouragement to women you barely know, it can mean sitting next to another woman on public transit when a man is bothering her, or it can simply mean happily making makeup recommendations in the women’s restroom of a club.

Regardless of how you do it, offering support to other women alleviates these imagined competition narratives and replaces them with much more positive vibes. Here are some wholesome, pure and altogether inspiring tweets to remind everybody that, when women support other women, we all win.
