00:00I was just overwhelmed by his kindness.
00:02Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most heartwarming,
00:08inspirational, and unexpected gestures people have done for others that are now forever
00:14immortalized on tape.
00:16We believe that anyone would do this, and this is just what you do.
00:22Number 10. Cop buys boots for a barefoot man.
00:26The police are tasked with serving and protecting their community,
00:30and one New York officer took this responsibility to new, inspiring heights.
00:35Are you surprised by all the attention?
00:37Absolutely. I didn't know this was going to be such a big deal.
00:40It was a freezing night in November 2012 when NYPD officer Lawrence DePrimo noticed an
00:47elderly man who wasn't wearing any shoes. Rather than go his own way, DePrimo entered
00:52a nearby shoe store and bought a pair of all-weather boots and socks for the man.
00:57Officer DePrimo went to this sketcher's to get the man boots
01:01and had to run back out to ask him his size.
01:04Even more heartwarming, he knelt down and helped him put the shoes on.
01:08Unbeknownst to DePrimo, a tourist from Arizona captured the moment on her phone,
01:14and it eventually made its way to the NYPD's Facebook page.
01:18The post received thousands of comments praising DePrimo for his compassion and selflessness.
01:25The officer says he keeps the receipt in his
01:27bulletproof vest as a reminder of those less fortunate.
01:319. Boy Gives Up His Seat for a Pregnant Woman
01:34When a pregnant woman boards a crowded train or bus,
01:37it's sort of an unspoken rule for someone to offer her their seat to ease her burden.
01:42But in the footage, not one adult did.
01:45But that rule didn't seem to apply to the passengers on this train in Malaysia.
01:50As a visibly pregnant woman entered the coach,
01:52most people who noticed her chose to ignore and look away.
01:56Other passengers in the train also appeared to have noticed the woman,
01:59but had no intention of giving up their seat.
02:02To her surprise, it was a bespectacled young boy who stood up and offered his seat to her.
02:07This heartwarming gesture only goes to show that the younger generation
02:11still has many noble individuals, despite what many may think.
02:16So the next time you're seated on a train, remember to be observant and always stay courteous.
02:228. Two Men Pay for Strangers' Groceries
02:26In these challenging economic times,
02:28a simple gesture like helping to pay for someone's groceries can mean the world to them.
02:33Came here to Kroger's and said, hey, we want to buy some groceries. Is that alright?
02:36In 2015, shoppers at a local Kroger's store in Cincinnati, Ohio,
02:41experienced the joy of giving when two men walked around
02:45paying their bills without asking any questions.
02:48Customers' reactions ranged from happiness to shock, to some even being moved to tears.
02:54Clearly, some were moved in profound ways.
03:00The men in this case were Mike Lewis and Rob Westerman,
03:04two local pastors who set out to put smiles on people's faces
03:09and demonstrate to their community that anyone can perform a random act of kindness.
03:14The church's pastor says since the video,
03:16the congregation is eager to move on to another project of giving. There is hope for all of us.
03:237. Teenager Returns Woman's Lost Purse
03:27When San Diego teen Adrian Rodriguez found a purse in a shopping cart at the grocery store,
03:33he knew he had to return it to its owner.
03:36There's hope for our younger generation.
03:38Using the driver's license inside, Rodriguez went to the listed address and rang the doorbell.
03:44Though the owner of the purse, Eliana Martin, no longer lived there,
03:47he dropped it off with a relative of her former roommate and went about his day.
03:55Rodriguez's thoughtful gesture touched the woman so deeply,
03:58they decided to find him and thank him properly.
04:02By sharing the security camera footage of Rodriguez returning the purse on social media,
04:07they eventually tracked him down and managed to raise over $3,000 to reward him for his kindness.
04:14I think this just speaks a lot about him.
04:166. Mystery Woman Guides Boy Back Home
04:20Every parent's worst nightmare is losing track of their kids. For one family in Cypress, Texas,
04:27this nightmare seemed to be coming true when their son, Colton,
04:31didn't get off the bus one day in November 2020.
04:35Monday was a big day. Little Colton Franklin was finally going to break free of his home
04:40where he'd been doing virtual learning and he was heading back into the classroom.
04:44While his parents drove frantically looking for him,
04:47they received an alert from the ring doorbell camera about activity on their doorstep.
04:52The footage showed a kind stranger bringing Colton to the front door and ringing the bell.
04:57I was on the phone with transportation and then the notification came up.
05:02It turned out Colton had been dropped off at the wrong bus stop and was found
05:06wandering by the woman later identified as Kim. Using the address on a sticker on his shirt,
05:12Kim took him safely home, bringing immense relief to his family.
05:17It could have ended in such a different way for me and my family.
05:215. Young Men Help Struggling Elderly Couple Into Their Car
05:26In February 2019, Florida police officer Kenesha Carnegie
05:30witnessed a touching moment she knew had to be shared.
05:34As I was sitting there, I looked to my left and I noticed these young men helping this
05:39elderly couple, so I went over to assist them.
05:42At a gas station in Bronson,
05:44three young men noticed an elderly couple struggling to get into their car.
05:48The men, a group of local rappers known as Jock Costo,
05:52Marty, and Freddie G, didn't even need to be asked.
05:56They rushed to the couple's side without hesitation and offered their help.
06:00The men don't leave until they make sure the couple is safely inside.
06:04Thank you so much, fellas.
06:07Carnegie, who was moved by the scene, whipped out her phone and began recording.
06:12The video soon went viral on social media, amassing millions of views and thousands
06:17of comments praising the men for demonstrating the inherent kindness of humanity.
06:244. Football Player With Cerebral Palsy Scores Touchdown
06:29Virginia high school senior Sepp Shirey set a personal record in 2017
06:35by running 80 yards unassisted to score an incredibly emotional touchdown.
06:41Born with Cerebral Palsy, Shirey always loved football and was determined to play.
06:46During a game against a rival school, he took the snap and ran across the open field.
06:59Remarkably, his entire team, as well as the opponents, rallied behind him,
07:05clapping and cheering him on as he made the entire 80-yard run before collapsing into the end zone.
07:12It was Shirey's first touchdown and the farthest he had ever run unassisted,
07:17making it a truly uplifting and unforgettable moment.
07:253. Jeweler Gifts Struggling Mom Money Sometimes the greatest help comes not
07:31from the people you know, but from complete strangers. This was the case for a mother of
07:36two in Dallas, Texas, who experienced an act of kindness that left her speechless.
07:46Reportedly struggling to pay her bills, the woman decided to sell a precious gold necklace
07:52passed down from her mother. After sharing her story with the jeweler, he refused to buy the
07:58necklace. Instead, he gifted her the exact amount she had asked for. This overwhelmed her with
08:05emotion. Noah not only dug into his own pocket to give her cash, he gave back the necklace.
08:17The jeweler, who had fled the civil war in Syria and moved to the U.S.,
08:21saw this as a way to pay forward the help he had received when he needed it the most.
08:292. Garbage Man Surprises Boy With A Special Gift Daniel Mulligan, a young boy with autism
08:40living in Ojai, California, transformed his fear of garbage trucks into a deep fascination.
08:50Every Monday morning, he would stand outside his home,
08:53excitedly watching the garbage cans being picked up and emptied.
08:57One day in 2014, while Daniel's mom was filming,
09:01the garbage man, Manuel Sanchez, asked if he could give him a present.
09:08Knowing how much the boy had grown to love their trucks,
09:11Sanchez walked over and handed him a bag with a plastic toy replica inside. The simple gesture
09:18clearly made Daniel's day and managed to melt hearts all around the world.
09:231. Elderly Man Rescues Stranded Drivers When Canadian mother Shannon St. Onge found
09:50herself stranded during a severe snowstorm, it was the actions of an elderly man that
09:56saved her life. St. Onge was driving home from her office in Pence, Saskatchewan,
10:05when she got caught up in a blizzard that made it impossible to see through her windshield.
10:11Unable to reach the police, she posted a distress message on Facebook. This message
10:17reached 80-year-old Andre Bouvier, who lived on a nearby farm.
10:27Bouvier braved the heavy storm and came out on foot to guide St. Onge and other
10:32stranded drivers to his house. His selfless actions that night made him a national hero
10:39and allowed St. Onge to return safely to her family the following day.
