In a world where people lend a hand and lift each other up during tough times, everything changes for the better. When those who have more help those who have less, nobody has to go without the essentials. Imagine a place where kindness and support are the norm, where nobody feels alone or abandoned. It’s a world where every person’s well-being matters, making life brighter for everyone.
Here’s a wonderful example of kindness. A social activist named Kiran Verma was travelling via a cab when the driver’s phone rang. He disconnected the call. It rang for 2-3 more times. He disconnected those as well. Then Kiran asked him to pick up the call. It might have been an emergency.
“I booked an Uber cab today, the driver picked me and he started the ride. During the ride, he got calls and he disconnected 2-3 times. After that I insisted him to pick up the call. He did and the sound from the other side was quite audible to me,” Kiran wrote on Facebook.
Kiran could hear the conversation. It was the cab driver’s daughter calling and she wanted a school bag – a desire which couldn’t be fulfilled at the moment by his father because of financial constraints. He asked his daughter to hand the phone over to his wife and he told her that he won’t be able to buy their daughter a school bag because just a few days ago, he got her books.
“He said ‘I am trying to save little money but can’t afford to buy a new bag atleast in next 2-3 days as I recently bought books for our daughter and need to pay monthly bills’.”
Kiran decided to help the man. He changed his drop location to a nearby store. He bought a pink and blue coloured bag for the little girl and paid for it using his wife’s account because he didn’t have enough money to pay for it. He exchanged numbers with the driver, who later sent him a picture of his little girl standing while holding the bag with a huge smile on her face.
“I took him to a bag store and bought one school bag. I made the payment from my wife’s account as I didn’t have enough in my account. I handed over the bag to him. He was speechless and just thanked me. Without saying a word we reached out to the car and I said ‘do give your daughter a surprise today’. He asked me for my number and I took a picture, which I sent him. After an hour he sent me a picture of his daughter smiling like an angel. This one picture was more valuable than any money could buy.”
“I don’t have words, how rich I feel after this. But gratitude to each and every father who never let their kids down. Even in the worst situation they are going through. I am sure my wife won’t get angry on me for spending from her money. Just be kind and help anyone in need, the world would look beautiful.”
