They saw a lady paying for her gas with pennies and he gave her some money. Not knowing she had just lost her husband and was having a tough time.

1. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. Exactly!

I was very torn about how I felt. Obviously, there is the very upbeat part where that great young man did what he did. But I also wondered about what would happen when that gas was gone....or the tiny bit of food she could reallocate that money for was eaten.

I don't always give money to people who are "begging" for it, but I do it pretty often, and even more so if they are at least trying to do something to earn it. Busking, or even squeegee....which the local police seem to have completely curtailed now.

One of the buskers has become a friend of mine. Great guy. Had to quit playing fingerstyle guitar and learn to play slide, because of Marfan's syndrome. You just never know how big or what shape someone else's pile of rocks might be.

2. That felt so good... I had to watch it 3 times. Thanks.

[ProudLib72]

3. Wonderful!

But I missed the last bit because...allergies.

[world wide wally]

4. Good guys

[sheshe2]

5. I am having a hard time responding.

Tears are running down my face.

Beautiful.

[LompocDem]

37. Same here...

...when I lost my wife and half of my (our) income the thing I mostly felt was being lost. I truly didn't know what t do. Getting the finances figured out and seeing how much I was suddenly in debt was a weight that I hadn't felt before. The first few weeks for a widow or widower are very traumatic. Good on these guys and this story truly gives hope that there are more caring humans out there that don't get recorded when they do good.

[Doreen]

45. I was afraid that I was the only one crying actual tears.

I do not feel alone now.

7. There is hope.

[SWBTATTReg]

8. Nothing like fellow human beings helping other fellow human beings. Magnificant! nt

[GulfCoast66]

9. Super. But heartbreaking

When said said that her husband just died and they were not like this I about lost it.

[eleny]

10. Caring decency

There's always somebody out there making my day from afar.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. What we need is the work it takes to make these kinds of actions unnecessary.

[FakeNoose]

18. Yes, there used to be a safety net

...we used to be caring and Christian. We Americans used to be known for kindness and friendliness.
Where has all that gone?

[malaise]

12. Lovely

[lpbk2713]

13. A true hero.

The world might not be such a bad place after all.

[gademocrat7]

14. Compassionate young men

Rendering aid to a widow. Bravo, gentlemen!

[EarnestPutz]

34. One of the young men said....

....”We’ve got to take care of each other”. That’s it in a nutshell.
That’s what’s wrong with us today, we’ve forgotten that this country
was founded on the idea that we govern ourselves to take care of each
other.

[Gothmog]

15. Thank you for posting this

This makes me smile

[Brother Buzz]

16. ..."You don't have to repay it, just pay it forward..."

[dawg day]

17. There are so many good people in this country...

But the least compassionate, most un-empathic man is president.

[George II]

19. Great story. Yes, there are nice people, but not as many as we need, in the world...

My mother used to carry a bunch of one-dollar bills when she took the subway to work. When she saw someone sleeping on the platform, she press a couple of bucks in his/her hand. One time a cop yelled at her for doing it for a woman, saying "Hey, why are you doing that?" She answered, "she's probably someone's mother". He thought, and then actually apologized!

My parents also kept a few old winter coats in the trunk of their car to give to homeless people who didn't have heavy clothing.

[virgogal]

20. I did my part once,and got called out for it.

I go to the same Dunkin Donuts every day and often see a young woman in there from a local group home.

This DD is inside a convenience store.

She was digging in her purse to find enough money for a pack of no-name cigarettes----cost about $7.00 here in MA. I told the clerk that I would pay for them,the young lady thanked me,and left.

Another customer told me that I should be ashamed of myself,encouraging smoking.

I just laughed,and left.

[blueinredohio]

23. I did the same thing once.

A guy handed the clerk some change for a pack of cigarettes, he didn't have enough evidently because she handed him his change back and he went out the door. I paid for them and my husband took them out to him while I paid for our other stuff. She gave me a strange look but didn't say anything.

[calimary]

21. Sneaking a peek with the sound off. Tears still come.

Watch the body language. You’ll choke up all over again.

[blueinredohio]

22. Same here. Made me cry. They should be proud of themselves.

The world needs more of people like this.

[usaf-vet]

44. We Americans should all be proud of them. Two black young men helping a needy person.

When she said how do I pay you back .... their answer was "pay it forward".

Trump lies about the character of young men like this.

The hatred that is gripping the country is coming directly from Donald J. Trump.

[LibDemAlways]

24. I was pumping gas one day when an elderly man pulled up at

the pump opposite mine. He was driving an old car that had clearly seen better days. He approached the cash pay window and gave the attendant $3.00. Before he could walk away, the man in line behind him handed the cashier a 20 dollar bill and told him to add the 20 to the man's pump. The man broke into tears and thanked the kind stranger profusely. The generous man looked embarrassed and responded to the man with a simple, "Happy to do it. It makes my day to be able to help out." Yes, there are good people out there, but we rarely hear about them because they aren't looking for praise or recognition.

[charlyvi]

25. Oh shit, I'm crying.

And I’m not a crier. Cryer?

[GeoWilliam750]

26. The world is mostly full of good people

There is always hope.

[George II]

33. It is, but for the most part we only hear about the bad ones.

[kimbutgar]

27. I bet Fox will not be showing this video

[tblue37]

28. Notice that the sweet, compassionate young man on the right is moved to tears. nt

[GulfCoast66]

29. Coming home from a week fishing 3-4 years ago.

Ocala Florida. Stopped at Publix. Lady in front of me with 2 carts of food. Using all kinds of coupons, rebate slips and tried to pay with her EB card or whatever we give to shame the poor. Came up way short. Started crying. For some reason I handed the clerk a couple of bills and said give her the change. She lost it. Was taking care of a bunch of grandkids on government benefits. Clerk started crying, lady in line behind me started crying then big southern boy me started crying. Which I just do not fucking do in public!

That resulted in an anger I carry today. What kind of country makes a lady in that situation depend of the hand out of strangers? I am getting pissed as I type this post!

The young men in this video will live a satisfied life. They have their priorities straight.

[Hotler]

31. It is not hard to.....

be nice.

[dalton99a]

32. Kick

35. The Bible says

"For man looketh upon the outward appearance, but God looketh upon the heart."

[SunSeeker]

36. ...

[Judi Lynn]

38. Thank you, bless them all. n/t

[SergeStorms]

39. "Pay it forward".

Damn straight. Those are two wonderful young men. Their families should be so proud of them.

[mfcorey1]

40. Some of the commenters to the tweet complained about them filming their good

Deed. I am glad they did because the same evil people like the commenters would assume that those guys attacked the woman or made her cry. I applaud them and it is a true example of what the America we need to get back to.

[populistdriven]

41. I had someone do the same, offer to pay for my gas as I was paying for pennies, but

I had to explain it was because wifey took the last 10 bucks out of my wallet without telling me

[northoftheborder]

42. A young man of color at Home Depot behind me in line....

.....paid for my items; I wasn't in distress or in need, but apparently he felt motivated to help me! I protested his doing this, but he insisted. I told him I would pay it forward, and he liked that. I was very surprised by this, but pleasantly.

[niyad]

43. thank you for sharing this, especially on days like we have been seeing this week.
