Help a stranger and ask them to pay it forward when they can. This is the way forward for ALL US HUMANS regardless of race colour or religion. Help each other and spread love. Thank you to the 2 brothers and the lady as thay all showed real love, honesty and respect. Lets stick together ❤💙💚💛🧡💜🖤

The next time I'm in distress, like after a car accident or something, I want someone to come up to me and say "It's OK, we're comedians"

Everything is videoed now. Share more goodness & maybe the goodness spreads. Maybe it gives someone else the nudge to help. Many people prefer to pick at the people making an effort, the people doing the right thing; maybe its guilt; they do not want to help, and they Don't want the world to know about the goodness of others. I'd rather see these clips than more violence.

Sure they could have just paid for her gas without the video. It sets an example though in this pandemic world we live in and maybe someone who sees this video will pay it forward. Much rather see this than a lot of what’s put on social media.

This is really nice. But I'm one of those with the opinion that private moments should remain private. This woman is now on the internet, her vulnerability on display for the world to see, in perpetuity.
Edit: thank you for the award.

I always say that when extending my hand to another; "we gotta take care of each other". Unity over division everyday. I love you all you crazy sons/daughters of bitches!!

Sorry in advance guys, you can probably just skip my comment. They're just some random thoughts that motivated me.
^^.
I've literally re-watched this more than 5 times. It just makes me so happy and angry at the same time.
We have the capacity for great compassion but also for great cruelty. The human psyche is like a dual sided coin where for every good person in the world, there's someone who would do the opposite. Just like these guys that are willing to help her out, there are plenty of people that would take every last coin from her purse.
I remember this one time when I was in middle school when my mother and I were in line to check out at the grocery store and she had me putting back the stuff we couldn't pay for. The woman in front of us that was about to leave turned around and handed my mom a piece of paper, telling her not to look until she had left. When my mom saw it was $100, much like this lady, she broke down.
This just makes me so inexplicably glad to see these men helping someone out in need, as I feel everytime I see stuff like this.
Still, it shoves reality in my face. It reminds me that there's the other side of the coin. There are the people that would take every last coin from her, the people that would gladly stand by and watch her suffer, without remorse, without caring about community or compassion.
I guess that's part of why I find moments like these so motivating. We can simultaneously see the good and bad sides of life and we can see that our actions can make a difference.
Far too often, I find myself overwhelmed with the give and take nature of life and find myself losing my vision of the future, wanting to give up and just focus on living because that's already hard enough as it is.
Imagine a world where we could all live happily. A world where we're all provided our base necessities and can pursue whatever we want. We may not have it right now but this gives me hope that we can work towards it, as a community. After all, that's the only way it could ever actually work. I guess the most brief way of summarizing it all is that these moments give hope.

"Look for the helpers." Mr. Fred Rogers.
While it warms my heart, I'm also sad they had to say it's not illegal and record it to make sure the situation didn't go south. Bless 'em.

You could tell she lives her life with so much pride, even if she’s struggling, she doesn’t ask for help. The redness in her face that clearly shows she’s probably been crying for quite a few days and the defeat in her voice. I just wanna scoop her up and hug her 😥

I remember some guy asked me for money to pay for gas. The guy looked kinda well off, but i could tell the guy was struggling. Something in my heart told me to help the man. He was so greatful that he asked for my number so he can repay me, but i just asked him to pay it forward when he sees someone in need. Today you, tomorrow me.

When I got my first job as a cashier a few years ago in high school I was working the late shift and a girl comes in to buy a personal thing that I knew she needed. She paid in cash and was a few dollars short and instinctively I told her don’t worry about it and I’d cover it. Pulled out my wallet and added it to what she had. Gave her the change and told her to put it forward. I’d like to think I helped her in her tight spot and helped whatever she was going through.

Genuine question: Why is it such a big seal if they’re “only doing something nice for views”? They’re still doing something nice.

For anyone complaining that they felt the need to record this, you gotta understand that videos like this help inspire people to pay it forward as well. I know damn well that after watching this, I'm absolutely gonna keep my eyes open for the opportunity to help someone like this. I probably would've BEFORE I watched the video, but after seeing how grateful and relieved she was, it just makes me want to do good even more.
