Delivery rider reciprocates the kindness of strangers<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

The escalating COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on everyone’s life, while also inspiring numerous charitable acts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From free groceries<\/a> to free flight tickets<\/a>, we have seen countless residents being the beneficiaries of compassionate gestures these days. Meanwhile, we have also encountered cases in which the takers step forth and become givers themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

The BAEMIN delivery<\/a> rider in this story is a case in point. After receiving a goodie bag from a group of strangers, he immediately returned the favor<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a touching post on a Facebook group<\/span> Ch\u00e1o H\u00e0nh Mi\u1ec5n Ph\u00ed<\/span><\/a><\/em>, Saigon resident <\/span>L\u00ea S\u1eafc<\/span><\/a> shared a memorable experience when he was committing a charitable act.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together with his friends, the OP has been participating in a self-initiated volunteer group to help the underprivileged since the latest COVID-19 wave struck Saigon<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11AM, he and his associates would stand on Nguyen Oanh Street in Go Vap District to hand out free lunches to those in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, while conducting charitable activities, L\u00ea S\u1eafc saw a BAEMIN delivery rider pass by. Without hesitation, he gave the rider a portion of a free meal and several face masks.<\/span><\/p>\n

After receiving the gifts, the rider went his own way, and L\u00ea S\u1eafc continued looking out for the people who would need the goodie bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

To L\u00ea S\u1eafc\u2019s surprise, the rider came back to the charity post’s location about 5 minutes later. He gave them 6 cups of cooling drinks, which must have cost him more than the meal and face masks he received from them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rider explained to the volunteers that it was their compassion that made him want to join the relief efforts.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Needless to say, L\u00ea S\u1eafc and his associates must have been deeply touched by a stranger\u2019s robust appreciation for their compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volunteers get rewarded for their generosity<\/b>

You may have heard of the saying “A act of kindness goes a long way.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This famous quote can’t be any truer in this situation, when a volunteer group’s display of generosity inspired a stranger to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the volunteers’ generosity was heartwarming, the rider’s reaction was no less praiseworthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only did he lift the volunteers up with his sweet display of appreciation, but he also reminded all of us that it doesn’t take much to chip in for a greater cause. All it takes, is a generous heart.<\/span><\/p>\n
