Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Helping a Stranger in Need on the Road


--by imaginespeace, posted Jul 14, 2016
My mom and I were out driving when we saw a car ahead of us suddenly slow to a crawl in the middle of an intersection and then roll to a stop as it reached the side of the road. We pulled over and asked the woman inside the car if she needed any help. She said "yes, please!"

Since we were right next to a parking lot, we tried to push her car up the incline into it to get her out of the road. We were not super successful, it being a heavy car and all, but then a man and his kids came over and offered their help as well! Together we got the woman's car into the parking lot where she was safe and could get the help she needed. We all smiled at each other and then went on our way.
