    I read this story earlier. I wish more people were like this lovely woman who helped a total stranger. That’s the true meaning of character, helping another person without expecting anything in return.

      I believe more people are like this woman and that only a small fraction of the love in action is ever reported. I don’t blame the media because if all the good news and kindness stories were reported, there would be so many that they would stop being “news”. Thank you for your comment.
