I was thankful I was able to make it home and not stranded, but also super stressed. Something was incredibly wrong with my '04 Corolla with 370,000 miles on it. It was already night time by the time I got home and I decided that there was no point in worrying about it til sunup today. I looked under the hood and could tell there was a significant coolant leak. I resigned myself to getting it towed 20 miles to town to a mechanic and looked at on Monday to what could potentially be an expensive repair or possibly getting a new vehicle due to the age and mileage of my vehicle.

Due to rent costs, I had moved to one of my friend/coworker's property to a tiny home that her son had built on the property. My friend and her boyfriend, John, live about a 100 yards from me in a mobile home and I live in the tiny home her son had built and now rents to me.

Today around noon my neighbor, John, came and helped me diagnose the problem with my car. After about 20 minutes once we got it hot enough to cycle coolant, we figured out that my radiator had a huge crack. He found a radiator in stock at the Oreilly's in town and my friend let me take her car there to purchase it. By the time I got home, John had already taken the cracked radiator out and then had the new one installed and me back on the road in less than an hour.

I thought I was going to spend the weekend full of stress and worries waiting for Monday to come and then spending an arm and a leg to have my vehicle towed into town and repaired, or potentially having to get a new vehicle... and hoping to get all of that done before Thanksgiving. Instead I'm only out $200 and my vehicle is back up and running.

I tried to offer John $200 for what it would have at the minimum cost me in labor for his repair but he declined and only requested a torta from my favorite taqueria in a nearby town an hour away that I occasionally bring him when I stop by there to grab a bite to eat. I got him and my coworker dinner from there as well as several gift cards to some of their favorite restaurants and stores that they like. And I made the two hour round trip without any issues with my vehicle whatsoever.

Great neighbors and friends are such a blessing.

Hello I am 21(F) and I have a son 4 (M) I was a teen pregnancy and it was hard I have a lot of support where I can go back to school and full time work at the same time. I live my job but sometimes it can be a lot mentally and physically (retail). Today was a very hard day crazy pre Black Friday busy. Towards the end of my shift I had a costumer that was complaining a lot to me. Instead of just doing the basics and getting them out the door I helped them as much as I can. They ended up buying a lot of things which I got credit for the sale. After the sale we made small talk. They found out about my son and They made my day just by taking to me and saying I did a good job. Before they left. He handed me a gift card. I tried to reject it but he insisted. I just threw it in my bad and did not look because it was busy. When I got home ti my son I saw that he handed me a $100 gift card. I was in tears. That $100 had a made a difference of having a Christmas or not. I am so excited to spend it on my son and get Christmas gifts. It means so much to me. I hope the person who did that would see this know it’s them.

I was wandering if anyone knows where I can get assistance with thanks giving in PALATKA

I'm a 19 year old female and got diagnosed with cancer yesterday. It's hard to talk about it, and my family or friends don't know about it yet. I got the news while I was at work and immediately went to the nearest pub when I was finally done for the day. Once I was ther, i ordered drink after drink (it's legal to drink with 19 where I'm from).

After 20 Minutes, an older man next to me, about 55 to 60, offered to pay for onr of my drinks, telling me that he had a crappy day and at least wanted someone else to do better. We talked a bit and I made up a story about why I wasn't having a good day, because I didn't want anyone to know.

At one point he told me: "You're young and beautiful, but life is short. Use what time you have on this planet and make a change."

I was about to give up and just die from cancer, but this stranger convinced me to keep fighting and still achieve something in life.

I saw this today while launching my kayak🥹 so wholesome

My husband is a good man who came from bad beginnings. His father was physically abusive while his mother was financially abusive. His mother had told him while he was growing up and afterward that it was the "Italian Family Way". Then my husband met my parents and it was a whole other story. I was stunned. My parents (mostly my mother) treated me like a slave and garbage. But with my husband, they loved him like a son from the start. I was 20 and he was 21 at the time. When my husband needed a job making more money, my dad said that he needed someone like him in the warehouse he worked at, he was the Warehouse Manager. My dad hired him and my husband worked hard so he could prove to my dad that he was right for hiring him.

Years passed and my husband and I got married, we have been together for 30 years and married for 19 of those years. In 2016, my dad was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. My dad had been a smoker but had quit when I was a teenager, however my dad had also worked with Asbestos at Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point. When my father was on his death bed, my husband and I went to visit him and at one point I had to walk away for something and my husband took the time to thank my dad for everything he ever did for him and us. My dad told him not to worry about it and just take care of me and the kids. My dad died the next day.

I was truly blessed with the men in my life and I will never forget it.

I while ago when we went to a 4th of July parade we left our car door open. There was about 300 ish people in the area we were at but we heard this couple asking people if they had the white van (our car) and they came to us and let us know our back car door was open. Now here is the twist. Our dogs were in the car. Completely unleashed and able to get out. Those people got our dogs and put them in their car and gave them back. I can't imagine them being stolen or getting hit by a car that day. But they didn't. Thanks to that random couple. Thanks to you I'm currently cuddling in bed with one of them :)
