5 Times Strangers Were Incredibly Kind on the Internet in 2017

TIME’s new weekly roundup brings you the best and most surprising things happening on Reddit.

(1)A Christmas Wish Fulfilled

Ask the internet and you might receive. Kind strangers and a toy company all pitched in to help Maryland redditor Cassie Gretschel find a very special discontinued toy truck for her 25-year-old brother Max, who has cerebral palsy. The internet answered the call with a shiny new truck, and it looks like he’ll have a fleet: Tonka plans to send Max “as many as we can find” along with a care package.

Every Christmas, I have to buy the exact same toy truck for my brother

My brother, Max, is 25 years old and mentally about a 5 year old. He's mentally and physically disabled and the only thing he wants for Christmas is a Blue Police Hummer truck, made in 2000.

He hates the rubber tires, so they come off immediately. It needs to have a metal hook. I've tried making him resin cast copies over the years, but he only likes the metal ones. I've tried painting the orange or red ones blue, but he can tell the difference.

If anyone has one of these in their attics, please throw it on eBay!
