I was having a full-blown panic atta.ck in the middle of the street. I had just lost my job and hadn’t told anyone. Out of nowhere, a woman came up to me, grabbed my hand, and said, “There you are! I’ve been looking for you.”
She whispered, “You okay?” and kept holding my hand. She walked me outside and sat with me until I could breathe. Then she said, “Happened to me once. Pay it forward,” and left. I never saw her again.

Story 7:
My first wife abandoned us when my son was an infant. It was rough, but I survived.
One evening I was at dinner with some friends. I had to change the baby; there was no table in the men’s room. I asked a lady leaving the ladies room if it was empty, and she checked for me, gave me the okay. While I was trying to get my diaper bag sorted, she came up and offered to change him.
I told her I had it, but she insisted, and put her arm around me. Apparently, I’d been holding in a breakdown the whole time, and she saw right through it. I cried for a minute while a total stranger changed my infant son, thanked her profusely, and went back to dinner with my friends carrying a little less weight on my shoulders. © PrintError / Reddit

Flying home after Basic Training to spend Christmas with my family, I found out the flight was overbooked and there was only one seat left. The couple in front of me were debating which of them should take it.]
