I have a neighbor who doesn't speak a word of English but we always wave & smile at each other. We live in an extremely poor area.. I saw him riding a beatup kid-sized bicycle so I gave him my beach cruiser. He found me a brand new portable clothes washer. (I didn't have a washer at all). He communicated that he wanted a bicycle for his friend, so I gave him my mountain bike. He always hangs huge bags of fresh fruit and random groceries on my front gate, and throws BBQ meat over the fence for my dog. I've even helped him sell things on Craigslist. Poverty and language barriers don't have to stop people from being kind to each other.
When my grandfather passed away the neighbors came over every evening for a week and brought food. They would sit with grandma for an hour then go home. They spoke no English and she spoke no Spanish. Grandma talked about that for the rest of her life.
People do the same in my part of North Carolina. The bereaved aren't considered to be entertaining guests. Friends, family, and neighbors gather, and _abide_ with them. When there's a crowd in the house, it's interesting to hear the tone of all the conversations swell, crest, and diminish like waves all over the house, depending on whether the bereaved is remembering funny events or just sitting silently. It can be lovely to hear, or it can make you want to scream if you want a quiet, private space and you're not high enough on the mourning ladder to qualify for it (those dishes won't wash themselves).
We should all just be nicer. My elderly neighbour lost her husband, her adult kids visit but do nothing to help, I’ve arranged a carer, did her lawns the whole summer ( Gardner was isolating) set her up on a tablet, Fb, TH-cam etc. And I do her food shopping amongst tiger jobs. She’s an absolute sweetheart, I’m doing it for completely selfish reasons, I want her to be my neighbour as long as possible.
So heartwarming. When my dearly loved cat died, I got a lot of cards with photos from neighbors. He had a habit of touring the neighborhood in nice weather and more people knew him than I was aware. He was the friendliest cat I ever saw, he liked everyone. My favorite was the photo of him on my neighbor's steps with a dead mouse, captioned "the day we moved in, Spot brought us a gift".
I used to live next door to a lovely elderly “Nona Pina” and my 2 girls would visit her through the loose fence pairings. When we told her we were leaving to a place in the country she cried. When we heard she had gone into an aged Italian home I felt so sad. One time when we travelled down to Sydney we visited her and apparently she so enjoyed the visit that her whole family were pleased for her. Sadly she didn’t last long in care ❤️❤️
My neighbor is 90 and he has trained our chihuahua pups to wait by the fence for treats. He goes out every day around 4p.m and they wait patiently at the fence for him to share his leftovers with them. His dog passed away 2 years ago, but at his age he didn't want to train a new dog, so we just let him borrow ours
“If I had magical powers like Harry Potter, I would take away your pain.” That was one of the sweetest, saddest, most innocent things I’ve read in a long time. I literally put my hand over my heart; made me feel like an old lady, but I couldn’t help it! The thought was just so pure that it touched my heart.
After my husband was arrested 17 months ago due to addiction/depression issues, I was expecting the modern version of torches and pitchforks from the town because of that “guilt by association” BS you hear so much about, especially after the media got wind of the story. Instead, the town rallied and gave us donations of food, clothes, money to help me get on my feet until I found a job (I had been a stay-at-home mom for 17 years), and even Christmas presents for the kids. You could’ve knocked me over with a feather! Even now, they help us out because things are still tight financially (minimum wage only goes so far!), and I’m trying to return the favors as best I can-I’m giving plants from my flower beds to a neighbor with a new house who’s still figuring out garden spaces, we’re swapping vegetables from our garden for eggs from the next-door neighbor’s chickens, my younger daughter (who aspires to become a veterinarian) is helping a neighbor train her new puppy, etc. I’m still suffering from PTSD and other issues due to the raid and arrest and probably always will, but I’m grateful for the support from my community.

My family and I just moved recently. Our old neighbors were wonderful, and so are our new ones! Our new ones cut the grass for us before we could, too! When they found out that my grandpas died, they brought a meal and a condolence card. So sweet! We are sooo blessed to have such great neighbors!💗
Same here. My neighbors are not even close to this kind. I am now inspired to try and be the neighbor that I want to have. I am very respectful of how others feel about the virus. Right after I posted the above comment, I went to do my laundry in the apartment complex's laundry room (very small two washers and two dryers). I stay until it is all done. A lady came in as my clothes were drying. I did not have a mask on and offered to put one on or step outside while she put her clothes in to wash. She screeched at me about not having a mask on. I put it on and stepped outside. She was furious because now she had to run the washers empty to kill the virus because I had used them. She would have to run the dryers empty for the same reason. Both cost $1.75 to use. She demanded that I pay for them to be sanitized. I refused. I cannot wait to move out of here into a better less friendly place.
On a day when I was feeling particularly low (I’m old, my kids live out of state, everyone seems to hate each other, our government is pathetic and dysfunctional) I watch this video and once again feel hope in mankind (never lost it with animal kind).
I completely understand!! My grandbabies are in Massachusetts and I'm in Arizona... I have health issues so I can't do the things I love anymore. But we really need to focus on what IS positive because it does exist! [It will never be the government!! Haha] I hope today is a good one for you. *Hugs*
I live in a neighborhood where all my neighbors look out for one another. Its the best neighborhood I've ever lived in!! We want to downsize our home but I don't want to leave my neighbors!
You can always partition your home off in a certain area and make a door around that like the pioneers used to! That way, you only have to use what you need and even maybe make the part you closed off as a guest area. You can stay close to those lovely neighbors and they can even stay over sometimes? There you go! Make it fun. 💞
If there is a family in your neighborhood that has outgrown their house perhaps you can work out a deal to swap houses, it would require lawyers, etc but I'll bet it could be done.
Theres an old lady the lives across the street from that i’ve known my whole life and my grandma use to babysit her grandkids. She would walk over every day and me and my brother would be so happy to see her, but as quarantine hit she hasn’t been able to walk over and say hi. She’s like 90 and still in awesome shape
We've been so busy pointing fingers at each other and blaming each other we forgot we're all people. We all love our children. We all came here from other countries, except for the native americans, but they to migrated here. Maybe we start to treat each other with kindness and see how much we can spread that across our nation. Together proving we are better than pettiness and hatred.
This can only be achieved when knowledge is spread equally. When every kid has the same knowledge but that’s not the case. Poor kids and poor countries are always the losers when it comes to knowledge and without knowledge comes miss information. Dumb people tend to believe they are extremely smart because they are to dumb to understand that they are not. And that’s scientifically proven.
@@RoykTilia Lol it's not referring to the name you just call someone karen if there rude and think there above people no one gets to think there above people thats over.
@@RoykTilia Karen doesn't mean the name Karen. The entitled attitude Karens. It's just a term. Karens don't need to have the name Karen. It's not targeted towards all people named Karen. Like not Kyles are assholes.
But...it's their fence. You understand fences have two sides right? If my fence fell down and I put it back up then my neighbour that happened to share the fence offered to pay me for it I would say no too. It's still cool they repaired it but let's not go overboard here.
I have visited Romania: they put a fence around their property to show it is THEIRS and it's a big faux pas to enter someone's gate/fence without permission. They were not only repairing his fence, but protecting his property. Awesome!
@@ButterflyGhostBFG it looks as though that is in the UK where fence responsibility on the boundary between properties is marked on ownership deeds. So the neighbours had no responsibility for that fence. Almost certainly they were responsible for the fence on the other side of the property. All credit due to the neighbours for mending it, rather than complaining.
My mom likes to feed the squirrels, birds, and chipmunks outside. She had a stroke 4 years ago and it’s something she does daily as a hobby. One of my neighbors started dropping off some items from her pantry for the birds to eat. In return I gave her a bag of coffee and some thank you cards. They were just boxes of food (like cereal, popcorn seeds, or vanilla wafers) she was eliminating from her diet but it was just so sweet that she saw my mom feeding the birds and thought that they would enjoy some more treats. We’ve never met this lady, due to Covid, and haven’t received any treats for a while, but that kindness will stick with me.
An elderly friend of my grandmother had to warn the new owners when she was forced to give up her house. There is a pair of Cardinals come to the feeder every day at 3 in the afternoon. If the feeder Isn't full, the male bangs on the dining room window to let her know. She didn't want the new owners to neglect the birds. She left about 200 pounds of feed in the back kitchen.
I needed this. I'm in such a dark place where I can't find love for myself or hope in this world. This, this right here has helped me see a little light in that heavy darkness. Thank you for posting and I hope everyone here knows that they are loved and appreciated.
One of my neighbors we thought was really loud (yelling and stuff at each other). When my sister went to deliver some mis-delivered mail, they were yelling at each other but then spoke normally to her. Turns out that's just how they communicate not that they're mad. Another of our neighbors came over the other day to say they were going to have a big party on the weekend and they would be having a lot of family over. It's really nice to have a heads up for that. These may not seem like much, but considering how little interaction we actually get with our neighbors, this is really positive. :)
I love these, puts a tear in my eye. People can be amazing. My neighbors went on vacation, I offered to collect their mail and when they returned they brought me flowers a cake, wine and a balloon. Great people
This shows that us Romanians are nice people. Many peopke hate us for stupid reasons, yes, there are bad Romanians but a lot of is are really nice people, ( btw, these neighbours really love u because we don't usually do this stuff to our neighbours without asking them, they just knew u woud love it)
My thought exactly. I visited your homeland and tried to help a neighbor carry in their groceries: he almost fainted when I walked right into his yard, carrying his stuff. I had no idea what a faux pas that was! I had a hard time convincing my friends that most Americans do not build a fence around their homes.....they said "how do you keep people from walking right up to your door?" I said " We DON'T!" They didn't believe me......LOL!
@@rachelstratman1405 Yes it is , for me as a Romanian person , hard to believe that y'all Americans don't built fences .... Y'all ain:t scared that Maibe, at night somebody is gonna steal your stuff? But yeah, We never do anything, especially enter in ours neighbours yard without their permission, I hope that u liked coming and visiting my country, I am happy to be a Romanian and I try to convince every person on the internet that hates Romanian , that our country is awesome!
@@timearadovan24 I LOVED it! I stayed like 3 weeks, went camping in the Alps, ate some terrific food, and made a lot of life-long friends! I'd go back again, but I now I am better prepared to interact with people. I almost made ANOTHER faux pas: someone was telling me about an incredible experience, and I said "Are you kidding me??" and she explained most people would have found it very rude, because I was hinting they were lying or didn't know what they were talking about. Figures of speech are totally different, amirite?! Still, I would go back and stay awhile.....and EAT!
That old black Lady who woudnt go to sleep before she heard that Girl came home safe.. That is so beautiful. We sometimes think about old people being too noisy, but she is probably lonely and was worried about a Girl. Hope they stayed in contact❤️🙏
After all the craziness going on, I really needed to see there is still good and loving souls out there. Thanks for restoring a bit of faith in man kind. 😊
Found a rabid raccoon wandering around & IMMEDIATELY knocked on all my neighbors doors (left notes on those that didn't answer) to make sure they & their pets would be safe, until Animal Control could handle it... Neighbor broke her pelvis in a fall & I popped over to help her get groceries etc... During this pandemic, ran up & down the road & got everyone's grocery/necessity list. I'm in my early 30's...most of my neighbors are 60-90. I'm healthy, they have compromised immune systems. My late-dad grew up during the depression & he did something similar. Mom told me that he'd be proud. That's a good enough reward for me. STAY SAFE, HEALTHY & BE NICE! ^_^
I'm so sorry you are going through that. My husband & I are too & we had to resort to filing charges against the neighbors. I hope things work out for you. I'm here if you need someone to talk to 🙏🙏
My neighbor has a snowblower and once I asked if he could get the entrance of my drive way where the snow from the plow accumulates. He whined and said his snowblower was too small to deal with the heavy snow. I don't have a snowblower and have to shovel my driveway. I'm no spring chick and have fallen several times while shoveling. He's been out side and has seen me fall but doesn't offer to help or even ask if I'm ok. There are no issues between us so I don't know why he acts like he does.
When I was much younger I threw "Orphans" holiday meals. Rented tables and chairs, cooked like crazy and my friends who didn't have anyone to spend the day and eat with would come. Most were happy to peel potatoes or go for ice. We had such happy times eating and talking and laughing. You don't need a bunch of people to do it. One other will do.
my dad's leg was amputated. One day my mom came home after visiting him at the hospital, the lawn was mowed and the hedge was cut. She still does not know, who did it. It was non of her two kids and I"m a bit ashamed (though I so a lot of other stuff and my brother too, when he's around)
I have been so down lately hearing all of the bad things some people are doing. This video helped restore some of my faith in humanity. In tears. Remember, being kind costs nothing.
These are all so heartwarming. So good to know people are still out there that are good and thoughtful and generous with even strangers. Thank you good people!
Into days times it is so wonderful to see people coming to help friends, neighbors and even people they don’t know but people that can some help. We seem to hear all the bad things so when I hear and see the good it honestly brings me to tears. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My sister was battering cancer for three years.we spent a lot of time on hospital visits. Our new neighbours saw how difficult it was for me tocweed our front garden as I have arthritis in my knees. So when we'd go to the hospital they'd sneak in and do it for me. My sister passed away before Christmas last year, so in the evening's they walk their dog past the house to check I'm ok. And they shop for me if I need it. They are so kind.
I LOVE these! I was in tears (still am) because a lot of my life experiences have been negative. To see these lovely images makes me smile (through my tears) and feel hopeful, because there are people in the world who care for one another!!!
1:45 See, foreigners build walls, too, just for slightly different reasons than Republicans. My landlady in Hawaii had an odd-sized gap between her house and the shed and so had a floppy piece of trellis to keep the dogs in. I remembered "helping" my grandfather build a gate when I was 5, borrowed her tools and made her a custom sized Z frame gate. Not bad for someone whose last woodwork report said I was "a pleasant, polite pupil who shows no aptitude for this subject." My favorite rapid on the Wenatchee was "Granny's rapid". Granny was an old lady who lived next to it and let kayakers put in at the bottom of her garden, surf the wave and hang out. There was never a shortage of volunteers whenever she needed anything!
Faith in humanity: Restored Faith in our young people: Restored Knowing that care and compassion does not see race, color, or creed is epically awesome.
A second cousin of mine’s husband got bone cancer, and it was too late to save him. She never asked for help and hated receiving it, but her house was in shambles and she was barely able to keep afloat with her four kids. So when her and her family went away on a week long vacation for the last time, her mother arranged for the entire extended family of handymen and any neighbors that wanted to help come over. That week we redid her floors, put in new kitchen cabinets, bought her new furniture, and even redid the entire landscaping of her house with very low maintenance plants.
I have a neighbor who I call sister by heart,my family n hers are always sharing everything even in the midnights without any hesitation for years...she is a very good hearted and soft lady ever,with her two cute and active kids,and a rottweiler that love to cuddle .... Love can come from any relationship !! I love my neighbor and I'm thanking God for such a gift...❤️
Meanness hurts ,kindness is never for gotten , and heals the pains of hurt ! You are a very fortunate young Lady to have a wonderful friend who cares ! ❤️😇
same i have lived in the same apartment for 11 years and i don't know the names of the people in 3 of the other apartments..we have 5 total and the only reason i know 2 of their names is cause they cornered me in the laundry room and introduced themselves. otherwise i wouldn't of met them. i'm introverted and prefer my privacy and to be left alone and it's been working for all of us in our complex.
Last year, we had our furnance completely replaced (we used to have one fueled by coal, but we changed it to peas). In our case, that meant we had nothing to heat our house for about 3 nights(mind the fact that it was the middle of winter and the temperatures reached -15°C. We had to wait/sleep through them completely surrounded by blankets). At the time, some new neighbors moved in to the house next doors. One of those nights, the new lady called us and asked us if we'd like to stay at their place until we have the heating system fixed. She seemed very panicked. She explained that she just found out about everything and didn't want us to be cold. It really wasn't that bad though! Sure, it was pretty cold, but not as freezing as it was outside, and we had a lot of blankets and extra warm clothes that completely blocked off all the cold, so we thanked them and respectfully declined. Even though at the time I've only talked with them like, 2 times, from that day, I promised myself that I'll always remember that act of kindness and repay them if i can
Not my neighbour, but after my mother passed away, my dad’s bosses from work delivered care packages of food and gifts to use. Less than a year later, those same people sent me a package while I was in Vancouver for brain surgery. It meant so much to my brother, dad, and me. Best. Bosses. Ever. 😊
When we had new neighbors move in over a year ago my dad went next door and helped them unload their moving truck until it was empty. When my dad died in September, the fence we shared fell down around the same time. They took care of replacing it, including covering our share of the cost.
This is proof that the World can heal itself. Be sincere and patient with others. Show them the way to kindness. The sign the 2 gentleman made says it all. Regardless of our differences we must practice love and compassion. It is the only way to a peaceful human existence.
This is what it’s all about. Loving people, acting kindness, sharing with family, forming connections and encouraging people around us, building friendships, and knowing GOD.
00:34 - Oh.... my heart. The neighbour must have known their time was short, yet their thoughts were still about others! We could all benefit from being this selfless
Most of the messages are too blurry to read..All the stories were heartwarming. People of different ages, races & nationalities treating other people with kindness & respect...THIS IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. May God bless you all.
Met a poor family at the local playground. Little Kid always wanted to play with our ball, seems like they didn't have one. Next day I went there again, they were there too and the joy on her face when I gave her a ball was incredible. It was just a ball. But enough to make her smile. We're really close with this family now and keep helping them (e.g. giving them my old bike to get to the supermarket)
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭After all the videos about entitled people and neighbors from hell, this literally made me cry ugly tears! Sometimes crying can be cleansing to the soul. Thanks for posting this.
We used to live next to these really loud neighbours. When we were moving out, we had to eat outside for days because the shifting process was too long and tiring. The neighbours were so kind, they offered us a whole 3 course home cooked meal(with huge portions for about 5-6 people) and we gladly accepted it. I felt bad for complaining about their noise after that 😅 The food was top notch.
I always knew we live in a 'good area', as it's where my mum grew up and all the neighbours know each other, most are really old and have known my tattooed arse since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Saying that, I was still shocked by their unexpected kindness. We had a housefire and lost EVERYTHING. All we had were the clothes on our back. The day after the fire we came home to check the damage and someone (still don't know who) had left a mountain of toys, pencils, paper etc on the front doorstep for the children. We had neighbours pull us in the street and tell us to pop round. We were greeted with bags of clothes. I went back to my folks and cried. Not because of what we lost, but what we had been given. It was so unexpected and even now 9 years later, I still get chocked up thinking about it. I never could thank anyone enough, they even ran out at 4:30am to help us get my G/dad out and took in the 3 children while I stood feeling helpless. The days that followed, I realised just how good an area we do live in. Wouldn't change any of the neighbours for no one.
I wish I had neighbors like this ...the ones I have in NY are MONSTERS. What happened to being neighborly? In England, your neighbors were almost like family and everyone looked out for each other...
I’m literally making a food hamper for the elderly woman that lives next door to me , this has inspired me to be a better person .... love thy neighbours
I almost cried watching this. While volunteering in a Thrift Store run by a Non-Profit Organization, a man came in yesterday asking if we still have bread. I was busy and I forgot to even offer little money so he can buy bread. My heart aches for him. I wanted to help, but the thought did not come fast enough. There are still good people in the world.
I have a neighbor who doesn't speak a word of English but we always wave & smile at each other. We live in an extremely poor area.. I saw him riding a beatup kid-sized bicycle so I gave him my beach cruiser. He found me a brand new portable clothes washer. (I didn't have a washer at all). He communicated that he wanted a bicycle for his friend, so I gave him my mountain bike. He always hangs huge bags of fresh fruit and random groceries on my front gate, and throws BBQ meat over the fence for my dog. I've even helped him sell things on Craigslist. Poverty and language barriers don't have to stop people from being kind to each other.
I hope more beautiful people like you and your neighbor keep popping up in our world. We need more positivity like this!
No. They don’t. Kindness is universal
You both are kind terrific neighbors. Congratulations
Woww that is beautiful❤️❤️
That's so sweet 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️

People do the same in my part of North Carolina. The bereaved aren't considered to be entertaining guests. Friends, family, and neighbors gather, and _abide_ with them. When there's a crowd in the house, it's interesting to hear the tone of all the conversations swell, crest, and diminish like waves all over the house, depending on whether the bereaved is remembering funny events or just sitting silently. It can be lovely to hear, or it can make you want to scream if you want a quiet, private space and you're not high enough on the mourning ladder to qualify for it (those dishes won't wash themselves).
I’m crying over the elderly neighbor who passed away and bought gifts for the neighbors kid
We should all just be nicer. My elderly neighbour lost her husband, her adult kids visit but do nothing to help, I’ve arranged a carer, did her lawns the whole summer ( Gardner was isolating) set her up on a tablet, Fb, TH-cam etc. And I do her food shopping amongst tiger jobs.
She’s an absolute sweetheart, I’m doing it for completely selfish reasons, I want her to be my neighbour as long as possible.
That is one of the best so called selfish reasons
May you be blessed with abundance and happiness for your kindness
The best selfish reason ever.

Tiger jobs made me laugh. 😂

When my dearly loved cat died, I got a lot of cards with photos from neighbors. He had a habit of touring the neighborhood in nice weather and more people knew him than I was aware.

On a day when I was feeling particularly low (I’m old, my kids live out of state, everyone seems to hate each other, our government is pathetic and dysfunctional) I watch this video and once again feel hope in mankind (never lost it with animal kind).
I agree with you about animals. I've rescued cats for years and I've never had one leave me because I'm too "strange" to socialize with.
Hugs
Hugs hugs! Not everyone is trash. It feels like it sometimes. But we are still here.
I completely understand!! My grandbabies are in Massachusetts and I'm in Arizona... I have health issues so I can't do the things I love anymore. But we really need to focus on what IS positive because it does exist! [It will never be the government!! Haha]
I hope today is a good one for you. *Hugs*
7:36 “Your neighbors with the kids that say hi a million times” best ‘from..’ ever 😂
I live in a neighborhood where all my neighbors look out for one another. Its the best neighborhood I've ever lived in!! We want to downsize our home but I don't want to leave my neighbors!
After hellish neighbours for over a decade that cost me my health and sanity... I wouldn't risk it.
Good neighbours are precious.
You can always partition your home off in a certain area and make a door around that like the pioneers used to! That way, you only have to use what you need and even maybe make the part you closed off as a guest area. You can stay close to those lovely neighbors and they can even stay over sometimes? There you go! Make it fun. 💞
Rent out a room to a student or something? Really happy you have a great place to live.
If there is a family in your neighborhood that has outgrown their house perhaps you can work out a deal to swap houses, it would require lawyers, etc but I'll bet it could be done.
We all need exposure to more stories like this.
Theres an old lady the lives across the street from that i’ve known my whole life and my grandma use to babysit her grandkids. She would walk over every day and me and my brother would be so happy to see her, but as quarantine hit she hasn’t been able to walk over and say hi.
She’s like 90 and still in awesome shape
The young man looking after his elderly neighbor every day, really made me weepy. Bless him and the rest of the people and furbabies in these stories!
This made me cry. Things have been so hard lately my son was diagnosed with ALL in July 2020. Seeing such awesome neighbors is so heartwarming
We've been so busy pointing fingers at each other and blaming each other we forgot we're all people. We all love our children. We all came here from other countries, except for the native americans, but they to migrated here. Maybe we start to treat each other with kindness and see how much we can spread that across our nation. Together proving we are better than pettiness and hatred.
That would be the ultimate human evolution... a wonderful thing to hope for.
I pray for this every day!
This can only be achieved when knowledge is spread equally. When every kid has the same knowledge but that’s not the case. Poor kids and poor countries are always the losers when it comes to knowledge and without knowledge comes miss information. Dumb people tend to believe they are extremely smart because they are to dumb to understand that they are not. And that’s scientifically proven.
Native americans have asian roots.
@@kafkaskitchen Native Americans came up through the Americas.
This is the way the world should be, not anger, bad behaviour of Karen’s etc. This is wonderful.
I second that and agree with you 100%!
This IS the world, as well. Let us remember that every day and think of ways we can contribute.
@@RoykTilia Lol it's not referring to the name you just call someone karen if there rude and think there above people no one gets to think there above people thats over.
@@RoykTilia Karen doesn't mean the name Karen. The entitled attitude Karens. It's just a term. Karens don't need to have the name Karen. It's not targeted towards all people named Karen. Like not Kyles are assholes.
Poor/Middle class Americans = Kind people
Few Rich ones = Karens
Really makes me want to be a better neighbor. What a good reminder to keep a good look out for those who may need you. ❤️
Be the change u wanna see gl
That Romanian fence, though
Absolutely.
But...it's their fence. You understand fences have two sides right? If my fence fell down and I put it back up then my neighbour that happened to share the fence offered to pay me for it I would say no too. It's still cool they repaired it but let's not go overboard here.
@@ButterflyGhostBFG Perhaps they didn't live right next door? I see your point though.
I have visited Romania: they put a fence around their property to show it is THEIRS and it's a big faux pas to enter someone's gate/fence without permission. They were not only repairing his fence, but protecting his property. Awesome!
@@ButterflyGhostBFG it looks as though that is in the UK where fence responsibility on the boundary between properties is marked on ownership deeds. So the neighbours had no responsibility for that fence. Almost certainly they were responsible for the fence on the other side of the property. All credit due to the neighbours for mending it, rather than complaining.
Oh my gosh. Can you imagine what our world would be like? Just a bit of kindness, caring, and thought of others? It would be amazing.
It's always nice to be reminded of the goodness in people. ❤
And identify, embrace and share the best of our own true hearts. Don't you Think So?
Restores our faith in human nature when we usually only hear bad things
Didn’t for me. I have seen and experienced so much shit from humans myself that nothing can restore my faith back.
That’s actually the fault of news stations. They rarely do sections where they present happy news. Wich in my opinion should be done.
@@Manie230 what are you on about? I clearly stated it is my personal experience.
@@svetlanabarrow6026 i didn’t reply to you. I was not talking to you.
@@Manie230 felt like you did😂
My goodness if I didn’t just cry through the majority of this video! I love me some wholesomeness 🥰
The guys that saved the elderly man from a house fire made me cry. Such wonderful people!!
My mom likes to feed the squirrels, birds, and chipmunks outside. She had a stroke 4 years ago and it’s something she does daily as a hobby. One of my neighbors started dropping off some items from her pantry for the birds to eat. In return I gave her a bag of coffee and some thank you cards. They were just boxes of food (like cereal, popcorn seeds, or vanilla wafers) she was eliminating from her diet but it was just so sweet that she saw my mom feeding the birds and thought that they would enjoy some more treats. We’ve never met this lady, due to Covid, and haven’t received any treats for a while, but that kindness will stick with me.
An elderly friend of my grandmother had to warn the new owners when she was forced to give up her house. There is a pair of Cardinals come to the feeder every day at 3 in the afternoon. If the feeder Isn't full, the male bangs on the dining room window to let her know. She didn't want the new owners to neglect the birds. She left about 200 pounds of feed in the back kitchen.
I needed this. I'm in such a dark place where I can't find love for myself or hope in this world. This, this right here has helped me see a little light in that heavy darkness. Thank you for posting and I hope everyone here knows that they are loved and appreciated.
One of my neighbors we thought was really loud (yelling and stuff at each other). When my sister went to deliver some mis-delivered mail, they were yelling at each other but then spoke normally to her. Turns out that's just how they communicate not that they're mad.
Another of our neighbors came over the other day to say they were going to have a big party on the weekend and they would be having a lot of family over. It's really nice to have a heads up for that. These may not seem like much, but considering how little interaction we actually get with our neighbors, this is really positive. :)
I love these, puts a tear in my eye. People can be amazing. My neighbors went on vacation, I offered to collect their mail and when they returned they brought me flowers a cake, wine and a balloon. Great people
The doggo with the emergency toilet paper Andrex eat yer heart out!!
0:37 Well, that just straight-up made me cry.
This gives me a lot of hope for the future of our world! ❤️
0:30 A humble request to the pionist:
liebestraum no. 3 in A flat.
Thank you I had it all figured out but the name. I don't know much about classical music. I think I will look it up and listen to it.
This shows that us Romanians are nice people. Many peopke hate us for stupid reasons, yes, there are bad Romanians but a lot of is are really nice people, ( btw, these neighbours really love u because we don't usually do this stuff to our neighbours without asking them, they just knew u woud love it)
My thought exactly. I visited your homeland and tried to help a neighbor carry in their groceries: he almost fainted when I walked right into his yard, carrying his stuff. I had no idea what a faux pas that was! I had a hard time convincing my friends that most Americans do not build a fence around their homes.....they said "how do you keep people from walking right up to your door?" I said " We DON'T!" They didn't believe me......LOL!
@@rachelstratman1405 Yes it is , for me as a Romanian person , hard to believe that y'all Americans don't built fences .... Y'all ain:t scared that Maibe, at night somebody is gonna steal your stuff? But yeah, We never do anything, especially enter in ours neighbours yard without their permission, I hope that u liked coming and visiting my country, I am happy to be a Romanian and I try to convince every person on the internet that hates Romanian , that our country is awesome!
@@timearadovan24 I LOVED it! I stayed like 3 weeks, went camping in the Alps, ate some terrific food, and made a lot of life-long friends! I'd go back again, but I now I am better prepared to interact with people. I almost made ANOTHER faux pas: someone was telling me about an incredible experience, and I said "Are you kidding me??" and she explained most people would have found it very rude, because I was hinting they were lying or didn't know what they were talking about. Figures of speech are totally different, amirite?! Still, I would go back and stay awhile.....and EAT!
Of course they are nice why not same as any other people
Some nice some not
That old black Lady who woudnt go to sleep before she heard that Girl came home safe.. That is so beautiful. We sometimes think about old people being too noisy, but she is probably lonely and was worried about a Girl. Hope they stayed in contact❤️🙏
After all the craziness going on, I really needed to see there is still good and loving souls out there. Thanks for restoring a bit of faith in man kind. 😊
Found a rabid raccoon wandering around & IMMEDIATELY knocked on all my neighbors doors (left notes on those that didn't answer) to make sure they & their pets would be safe, until Animal Control could handle it...
Neighbor broke her pelvis in a fall & I popped over to help her get groceries etc...
During this pandemic, ran up & down the road & got everyone's grocery/necessity list. I'm in my early 30's...most of my neighbors are 60-90. I'm healthy, they have compromised immune systems.
My late-dad grew up during the depression & he did something similar. Mom told me that he'd be proud. That's a good enough reward for me.
STAY SAFE, HEALTHY & BE NICE! ^_^
Darn, I almost cried. My faith in humanity and moving towards a better future is restored 😊
Smiled laughed and cried a little. How wonderful
I'm crying. I'm crying because I want neighbors like them and not the ones I have now. They're trying to make our life like hell :'(
I'm so sorry to hear that!! 😟🤗🤗🤗
I'm so sorry you are going through that. My husband & I are too & we had to resort to filing charges against the neighbors. I hope things work out for you. I'm here if you need someone to talk to 🙏🙏
Having same problem here with neighbors
My neighbor has a snowblower and once I asked if he could get the entrance of my drive way where the snow from the plow accumulates. He whined and said his snowblower was too small to deal with the heavy snow. I don't have a snowblower and have to shovel my driveway. I'm no spring chick and have fallen several times while shoveling. He's been out side and has seen me fall but doesn't offer to help or even ask if I'm ok. There are no issues between us so I don't know why he acts like he does.
Why not send them a copy of this video. Perhaps anonymously would be wise.
Not that I needed this, but I'm crying. Tears of joy.
Angels exist - You convinced me!
When you see athletes and so called celebs making millions, these are the people who need our respect....this video makes me feel good xxx
This is really good to know, just the fact that something like this exists. Sometimes I absolutely lose hope in humanity (and in general).
When I was much younger I threw "Orphans" holiday meals. Rented tables and chairs, cooked like crazy and my friends who didn't have anyone to spend the day and eat with would come. Most were happy to peel potatoes or go for ice. We had such happy times eating and talking and laughing. You don't need a bunch of people to do it. One other will do.
My neighbors (elderly twin ladies and their brother) and I like to exchange produce and baked goods with each other- they're so sweet ❤
my dad's leg was amputated. One day my mom came home after visiting him at the hospital, the lawn was mowed and the hedge was cut. She still does not know, who did it. It was non of her two kids and I"m a bit ashamed (though I so a lot of other stuff and my brother too, when he's around)
These posts are what I live for! Positive ones!
This is awesome... People should share more stuffs like these. This made my day. Ty. 🥰
This is so beautiful! We can’t even get our neighbours to say hello back when we wave! So nice to see people still care about each other!
I have been so down lately hearing all of the bad things some people are doing. This video helped restore some of my faith in humanity. In tears. Remember, being kind costs nothing.
Beautiful video. 9:16 is what my neighbours did for me on Christmas Day with a fully plated up meal as I now live alone after my wife passed away.
How can kindness like this receive dislikes? This is beautiful and moving. I suppose those who know empathy are the only humans Liking this video.
“Bloody foreigners coming here and building fences”!
😄😭
These are all so heartwarming. So good to know people are still out there that are good and thoughtful and generous with even strangers. Thank you good people!
Into days times it is so wonderful to see people coming to help friends, neighbors and even people they don’t know but people that can some help. We seem to hear all the bad things so when I hear and see the good it honestly brings me to tears. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My sister was battering cancer for three years.we spent a lot of time on hospital visits. Our new neighbours saw how difficult it was for me tocweed our front garden as I have arthritis in my knees. So when we'd go to the hospital they'd sneak in and do it for me. My sister passed away before Christmas last year, so in the evening's they walk their dog past the house to check I'm ok. And they shop for me if I need it. They are so kind.
I LOVE these! I was in tears (still am) because a lot of my life experiences have been negative.
To see these lovely images makes me smile (through my tears) and feel hopeful, because there are people in the world who care for one another!!!
I'm over here laughing smiling and crying like a baby
1:45 See, foreigners build walls, too, just for slightly different reasons than Republicans. My landlady in Hawaii had an odd-sized gap between her house and the shed and so had a floppy piece of trellis to keep the dogs in. I remembered "helping" my grandfather build a gate when I was 5, borrowed her tools and made her a custom sized Z frame gate. Not bad for someone whose last woodwork report said I was "a pleasant, polite pupil who shows no aptitude for this subject."
My favorite rapid on the Wenatchee was "Granny's rapid". Granny was an old lady who lived next to it and let kayakers put in at the bottom of her garden, surf the wave and hang out. There was never a shortage of volunteers whenever she needed anything!
Faith in humanity: Restored
Faith in our young people: Restored
Knowing that care and compassion does not see race, color, or creed is epically awesome.
These beautiful acts of kindness fill my heart.
A second cousin of mine’s husband got bone cancer, and it was too late to save him. She never asked for help and hated receiving it, but her house was in shambles and she was barely able to keep afloat with her four kids. So when her and her family went away on a week long vacation for the last time, her mother arranged for the entire extended family of handymen and any neighbors that wanted to help come over. That week we redid her floors, put in new kitchen cabinets, bought her new furniture, and even redid the entire landscaping of her house with very low maintenance plants.
I can't watch these without crying. It doesn't take much love and kindness to make me ball my eyes out.
I think we all wish we had neighbours like these wonderful people, and yes, I did shed a few happy tears. 👍👍👍😁😁😁👏👏👏👌👌👌
God love the Sebastians of this world.

I have a neighbor who I call sister by heart,my family n hers are always sharing everything even in the midnights without any hesitation for years...she is a very good hearted and soft lady ever,with her two cute and active kids,and a rottweiler that love to cuddle .... Love can come from any relationship !! I love my neighbor and I'm thanking God for such a gift...❤️
Meanness hurts ,kindness is never for gotten , and heals the pains of hurt ! You are a very fortunate young Lady to have a wonderful friend who cares ! ❤️😇
tbh this is nice i dont even talk to my neighbors lol
yeah, lol the only thing we do with our neighbors is buy houses from them and talk about all the stray cats
same i have lived in the same apartment for 11 years and i don't know the names of the people in 3 of the other apartments..we have 5 total and the only reason i know 2 of their names is cause they cornered me in the laundry room and introduced themselves. otherwise i wouldn't of met them. i'm introverted and prefer my privacy and to be left alone and it's been working for all of us in our complex.
These stories brought tears to my eyes, so much kindness 💕
My neighbors suck. I wish I had people like this living next to me 🤓
Last year, we had our furnance completely replaced (we used to have one fueled by coal, but we changed it to peas). In our case, that meant we had nothing to heat our house for about 3 nights(mind the fact that it was the middle of winter and the temperatures reached -15°C. We had to wait/sleep through them completely surrounded by blankets). At the time, some new neighbors moved in to the house next doors. One of those nights, the new lady called us and asked us if we'd like to stay at their place until we have the heating system fixed. She seemed very panicked. She explained that she just found out about everything and didn't want us to be cold. It really wasn't that bad though! Sure, it was pretty cold, but not as freezing as it was outside, and we had a lot of blankets and extra warm clothes that completely blocked off all the cold, so we thanked them and respectfully declined. Even though at the time I've only talked with them like, 2 times, from that day, I promised myself that I'll always remember that act of kindness and repay them if i can
Not my neighbour, but after my mother passed away, my dad’s bosses from work delivered care packages of food and gifts to use. Less than a year later, those same people sent me a package while I was in Vancouver for brain surgery. It meant so much to my brother, dad, and me. Best. Bosses. Ever. 😊
This is what I like people looking after one another being nice and kind even just a quick hello in the passing it’s nice to be nice
When we had new neighbors move in over a year ago my dad went next door and helped them unload their moving truck until it was empty. When my dad died in September, the fence we shared fell down around the same time. They took care of replacing it, including covering our share of the cost.
This is proof that the World can heal itself. Be sincere and patient with others. Show them the way to kindness. The sign the 2 gentleman made says it all. Regardless of our differences we must practice love and compassion. It is the only way to a peaceful human existence.
Isnt the world such a beautiful place when everyone does a little thing for each other❤❤❤❤❤🏴
How nice to see there are still wonderful people in the world!❤
This is what it’s all about. Loving people, acting kindness, sharing with family, forming connections and encouraging people around us, building friendships, and knowing GOD.
00:34 - Oh.... my heart. The neighbour must have known their time was short, yet their thoughts were still about others! We could all benefit from being this selfless
This is the best video of this type I have seen. Lovely examples of kindness ❤
@ 7:00 - "I would take your pain away" - I'm crying!
It is wonderful to watch something on TH-cam that is positive and uplifting. Thank you!!!

Now I'm crying so much. Oh right on the feels. 😭❤️
Most of the messages are too blurry to read..All the stories were heartwarming. People of different ages, races & nationalities treating other people with kindness & respect...THIS IS THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. May God bless you all.
0:34 oh my heart. 😕💛 this is so sweet and kind yet makes me sad. What a lovely neighbor that person must have been.
Met a poor family at the local playground. Little Kid always wanted to play with our ball, seems like they didn't have one. Next day I went there again, they were there too and the joy on her face when I gave her a ball was incredible. It was just a ball. But enough to make her smile. We're really close with this family now and keep helping them (e.g. giving them my old bike to get to the supermarket)
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭After all the videos about entitled people and neighbors from hell, this literally made me cry ugly tears! Sometimes crying can be cleansing to the soul. Thanks for posting this.
This really made me cry and be happy at the same time!
We used to live next to these really loud neighbours. When we were moving out, we had to eat outside for days because the shifting process was too long and tiring. The neighbours were so kind, they offered us a whole 3 course home cooked meal(with huge portions for about 5-6 people) and we gladly accepted it. I felt bad for complaining about their noise after that 😅 The food was top notch.
I always knew we live in a 'good area', as it's where my mum grew up and all the neighbours know each other, most are really old and have known my tattooed arse since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Saying that, I was still shocked by their unexpected kindness.
We had a housefire and lost EVERYTHING. All we had were the clothes on our back. The day after the fire we came home to check the damage and someone (still don't know who) had left a mountain of toys, pencils, paper etc on the front doorstep for the children. We had neighbours pull us in the street and tell us to pop round. We were greeted with bags of clothes. I went back to my folks and cried. Not because of what we lost, but what we had been given.
It was so unexpected and even now 9 years later, I still get chocked up thinking about it. I never could thank anyone enough, they even ran out at 4:30am to help us get my G/dad out and took in the 3 children while I stood feeling helpless. The days that followed, I realised just how good an area we do live in. Wouldn't change any of the neighbours for no one.
These are exactly what I needed to see today. ❤️🥺😭
me too❤
I wish I had neighbors like this ...the ones I have in NY are MONSTERS. What happened to being neighborly? In England, your neighbors were almost like family and everyone looked out for each other...
Found the ‘ lady next door waiting up until she got home safe’ both extremely lovely and unbelievably creepy 😂
I’m literally making a food hamper for the elderly woman that lives next door to me , this has inspired me to be a better person .... love thy neighbours
Annoying when the text is too small ... but I loved this.
@O:40...what a wonderful person that neighbour was!
I almost cried watching this. While volunteering in a Thrift Store run by a Non-Profit Organization, a man came in yesterday asking if we still have bread. I was busy and I forgot to even offer little money so he can buy bread. My heart aches for him. I wanted to help, but the thought did not come fast enough. There are still good people in the world.
