One waitress is getting the surprise of her life when strangers leave her a $4000 tip. The hidden camera show Random Acts is known for rewarding individuals who have gone above and beyond or are in need. The hosts will choose some one to surprise with a random act of kindness. This can be monetary, an experience or even a item like a new home. Over the years, many people have been blessed by this organization and they’re back again to surprise Laura, a waitress in Seattle. Laura is known for participating in her own acts of kindness, but now it’s time for her to get the thanks she deserves. Before her dinner shift, the hosts set out to earn money for the big tip. They hit the streets and start to sing, dance, and even make balloon animals to raise funds. One by one, passerbys drop money in the bin and there are even a few individuals who donate a large sum. But the biggest blessing was when one anonymous donor said they would match whatever money the team raised. That brought the total to over $4000. When dinnertime arrived, two members of the team posed as patrons at the restaurant. They were seated in Laura’s section and had a pleasant interaction with the caring waitress. After she brought the check, they wrote a note and underneath they left the big tip. The look on Laura’s face when she realizes exactly what is happening is priceless. She definitely deserves every bit of this moment and I’m so glad that organizations like Random Acts exist to help others.

A heartbreaking moment was captured on camera when this mother dog cries over her wounded puppy. When the rescue organization, Animal Aid Unlimited, India, was called for a hurt dog, they weren’t expecting this sad scene. As they arrived at the destination, a frantic mama dog was crying for help for her pup. The dog had two deep wounds and wasn’t able to walk. Mama was standing guard over the poor animal as she waited for help. “She didn't stop trying desperately to communicate as we gently lifted her puppy who had two deep wounds and placed him in the ambulance.” Sadly, the mother had to stay behind since there were 4 other puppies in her care. The rescue organization hoped to return with a mended baby for this sad mama. After they transported the puppy to their facilities, the volunteers were able to dress his wounds. But it took a few days before the little guy was able walk again. During that time, I’m sure his mom was a nervous wreck. Thankfully, after lots of love and attention, the puppy was ready to return home. The sweet reunion was full of gratitude and joy. I’m so glad that the men and women at Animal Aid Unlimited, India were able to help this family in their time of need. They described the situation by saying, “His mother wanted to help but she couldn’t do it alone. She needed our help.” And they went above and beyond to make sure that this entire family was taken care of.

A weightlifter in Detroit is being called a hero after the man lifts a car off of a victim trapped underneath. Ryan Belcher is a power lifter. He works out 5 days a week and it known for being able to lift a large amount of weight. Well, all of that training came in handy one afternoon while Ryan was at work. He heard a large smash outside on the road. When he ran to check, he discovered a car had flipped upside down and a woman was lying in the lane. Then, he heard a man begging for help from underneath the vehicle. The stranger was trapped with no way to escape. In that moment, Ryan did not hesitate to take action. He mustered up every ounce of strength he could and lifted the car off of the victim. A car weighs several thousand tons, but that was not an obstacle for Ryan. “All the power that I’ve used, all the training that I’ve been through, this is the time when it’s really going to pay off in a good way.” His quick thinking and training saved the trapped man. He was definitely put in the right place at the right time and I’m so glad that he didn’t think twice after stepping in. While some people are calling Ryan a hero, he’s not so sure. He was just glad that he could provide assistance when someone’s life was on the line. What an amazing man and we’re so thankful that everyone is going to be okay.

Everyone was cheering for criminals after these prison inmates break into a vehicle to save a baby. It all happened in Florida when a 1-year-old named Dallas was accidentally locked in a hot car by her dad. With temperatures rising and no way to access the vehicle, the father immediately called the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office for help. The deputies quickly arrived and tried their best to break into the vehicle, but were unsuccessful. That’s when someone had the idea to call nearby prison inmates. The non-violent offenders were on a work-release program close by and were called to make their way to the situation. Once they arrived, a few of the inmates used a coat hanger to activate the electronic lock and open the door. The entire ordeal only lasted about 2 minutes thanks to the help from these handy men. This is the perfect example of never judging a book by the cover. Many people may look down on those serving time, but this event showcased their caring side as they helped a baby girl. We all need a little bit of assistance now and then, even when it comes from the most unlikely of places. Dallas’ mom put it perfectly when she said, “It was just so funny, the irony of a police officer asking an inmate to break into a car.” Now, little Dallas is doing just fine and everyone is eternally grateful to these men. Who else is cheering for these criminals right now too?
