The restaurant business is a hard one, full of long hours, complex challenges and a high turnover rate. Running a successful eatery requires a lot of skill, dedication, and luck, and even then, there’s no guarantee the restaurant will succeed. So when someone goes above and beyond to help your establishment thrive, it’s a pretty big thing.
In the bustling streets of Kansas City, a tale of resilience and unwavering kindness unfolds, touching hearts across the nation.Meet Klynn Scales, a young girl whose childhood was marred by adversity and hardship. At just nine years old, she found herself thrust into the role of caretaker for her two younger brothers, stealing food from 7-Eleven to feed them and navigating a tumultuous home life overshadowed by neglect and her mother's battle with addiction.
This scene looks happy, even festive. The lights are bright, and a little girl's toys are strewn across the floor.But something's off.
Forty years ago, a man simply known as Hamza, was tried, convicted, and imprisoned for accidentally firing a gun and killing his uncle. He was only 16 years old.After spending a literal lifetime in jail, it isn't a stretch to assume that he's become hardened to the plights of others.And yet, after hearing about the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Hamza desperately wanted to do something to help the civilians affected. Despite earning a meager 13 cents/hour for prison janitorial duties, he didn't let the paltry sum stop him from donating everything he could to relief efforts.And now? He's getting the ultimate payback for his compassionate gesture. One Good Turn Deserves Another"Confused and heartbroken" by the news coming out of the Middle East, Hamza turned to his friend, filmmaker Justin Mashouf, for help.Unable to donate his paycheck on his own, he sent it to Mashouf to pass on. All $17.74 of it. (The total sum payment of 136.5 HOURS of work).Mashouf, touched by Hamza's act of kindness, shared the paycheck along with his timesheet on X (formerly Twitter).The social media post went viral, triggering an unexpected outpouring of love and support. Internet denizens flocked to the comments, wanting to know how they could donate to Hamza.It prompted Mashouf to launch a GoFundMe campaign, just in time for Hamza's long-awaited prison release. After four decades behind bars, the now 56-year-old has finally been granted parole. "He has lived with the pain of losing his family member due to his own mistake every day for decades," Mashouf wrote on the page. "While in prison, he has become a devout Muslim and has been pleading for parole for decades... Hamza has finally been granted parole and is set to walk free NEXT MONTH!"He also explained that the funds raised would give Hamza a "fresh start.""Your contributions will empower him to transition back into society with dignity and security after years of isolation," he wrote. "With your help, Hamza will access essential resources, secure housing and transportation, and navigate the challenges of his new freedom."Within two days, the fund was sitting at a whopping $102,172."He gave people hope by showing how selfless he is, and then they gave him hope through their kindness."Justin Mashouf via the Washington PostPaying It ForwardAlmost as quickly as it started, the campaign ended. In an incredible twist, Hamza chose to forego fortune and redirect the support he received towards those in desperate need."He said whatever has already been donated is sufficient for him," Mashouf shared. "And that he didn't want to distract people from those who were suffering more than him."In an update on the GoFundMe, Hamza thanked everyone for their generosity and kindness. He then asked people to consider donating to victims of war and poverty in Palestine, Yemen, and Africa."Look upon and consider the suffering children, mothers and fathers of Palestine, Yemen, and Africa living under inhuman[e] conditions, being bombed every hour of the day, without water, shelter, medication and food … who are ordinary people and citizens just like all of you living their lives having not a thing to do with the politicians, but are suffering [in]humanely, please give to them,” he wrote.On a personal note, he also revealed that he is looking forward to life on the other side of the prison gates. "I look forward to the promise of life, happiness, struggles and dreams, to soar and spread my wings, to be a man, a human being once again now that I know the preciousness and the incalculable value of Life."The Impact Even the Smallest Gestures of Kindness Can HaveHamza's donation to the people of Gaza wasn't huge. In fact, it was pretty inconsequential as far as monetary contributions go. But its impact was significant. By giving what he could, he inspired thousands to rally behind him. And that $17.74? Turned into more than $100,000.An unlikely hero, Hamza is proof that empathy, compassion, and goodness can thrive in any circumstance — even in those, like the confines of a prison cell, where it seems impossible.

In a touching moment that resonates with the power of kindness, an 8-year-old girl from Texas, Paige Vazquez, found herself in a heartfelt prayer with police officers at a San Antonio restaurant. This poignant incident, now viral, unfolded as Paige, driven by her usual practice of praying for people, noticed the officers and decided to extend her heartfelt prayer their way.What One Little Girl Told a Table of Police OfficersPhoto by Min AnFor Paige, this simple act of compassion is part of her routine. "I always pray for people because, and police officers, because I know they have a rough time sometimes and sometimes a little prayer can make someone’s day, so I decided to do that just in case they’re having a rough day," shared Paige.She continued, "I asked them, 'Hello Officers, may I please pray for you?' and they said, 'Yeah sure.'"What makes this gesture particularly moving is the context: the San Antonio officers were grappling with the recent loss of one of their own. Officer Michael Moreno lost his life in the line of duty in late June, and the department was mourning his passing. Paige's heartfelt prayer served as a moment of solace and upliftment for officers going through an incredibly challenging time.The San Antonio Police Department took to their Facebook page to share this beautiful encounter, acknowledging it as "a wonderful moment to lift our spirits on the hardest of days." The post, accompanied by a photo capturing the essence of the moment, was taken by Paige's grandmother.How One Little Girl Proved the Importance of Spreading LoveOfficer Moreno's funeral took place that Friday, and Paige's gesture, although seemingly small, resonated deeply with the officers. Paige's mother, Kat Garcia, expressed her astonishment at the post going viral but noted that her daughter's actions weren't surprising. Describing Paige as caring, loving, and possessing an "old soul," Garcia highlighted to InsideEdition.com that such gestures come naturally to her young daughter.After the prayer, officers took a moment to express their gratitude to Paige. As Garcia emphasized, "We support our officers." The post, shared over 3,000 times, stands as a testament to the impact of a child's genuine compassion, proving that even the smallest act of kindness can touch hearts and resonate far beyond the immediate moment.More from Goalcast:Man Calls Cops and Claims to Be Kidnapped – When the Officer Arrives at the Scene, He Finds Something Completely DifferentElderly Neighbor Calls the Cops on a 9-Year-Old Black Girl Because He Was “Scared” – Then Yale University Takes OverBike-Riding Domino’s Delivery Guy Helps Cops Catch Thief — Still Manages to Deliver Pizza On Time
For the past two decades and counting, Mike Witmer, 57, from Gaithersburg, Maryland, has kept his promise. Every year, he decks out his house in a spectacular display of holiday lights and decorations, and every year, folks ask, "Who's Kevin?"Because emblazoned across the garage roof, towering above the candy canes and reindeer, Santa Claus, and the wreaths, one very simple message stands out: "Hi Kevin." And while it's only 2 words, it packs a lifetime of meaning. So Who Is Kevin?In a viral Facebook post, Mike shares the heart-wrenching story behind the beautiful tribute.In the fall of 2002, Mike's 11-year-old neighbor, Kevin, was diagnosed with cancer. A friend of his daughter's, Kevin was "just a really cool kid...the kind of guy who loved to make people laugh." On Dec 23rd, doctors announced that after months of treatment, the tween was well enough to come home for Christmas. To celebrate, Mike decided to add a special shout-out to his already festive light display, spelling out "Get Well Kevin" above his garage door. "I was just trying to be a nice dad in the neighborhood," the father of two said. "It was such a small gesture."Small or not, Kevin LOVED it. He loved it so much, in fact, that he asked his mom, “Do you think Mr. Witmer will put my name in lights every year?” That's all it took. Tradition. Born.The following year, Mike painted the words "Hi Kevin" on scrap pieces of wood and hid them around his display.And then he did it again the next year. And the next. And the next. Making sure to never put them in the same place twice. "At one point I had a working Ferris wheel, I put the Hi on one chair and the Kevin on another, so it wasn’t always visible," Mike wrote on Facebook. "That year the family pulls up and he didn’t see his name, I was told he got out of the car and was like “HEY….?” About that time the Ferris wheel came back around and he saw his name, he smiled and got back into the family’s car."For 8 years, Mike continued the tradition, through Kevin's cancer, remission, and even after he went off to college.A Cancer Diagnosis and a Beautiful TributeKevin had just returned from his freshman year at the University of Maryland when he received the devastating news — the cancer was back. This time, it was unrelenting. Sadly, Kevin passed away in June 2010 at the age of 19.His parents asked Mike to speak at his funeral. "Afterwards, I invited everyone back to my house. I told them this year the tribute would be bigger and better, on the roof so Kevin could see. There wasn't a dry eye in the house," Mike said.That Christmas, Mike kept his word. "Hi Kevin" was bigger and brighter than ever, taking center stage on the roof of his garage, facing the sky "so he can see it from heaven."And 21 years after the tradition was first born, Mike is still at it. Despite the fact that Kevin's family no longer lives in the neighborhood. A Tradition Lives OnAs word of Mike's touching tribute to Kevin spread, people reached out to share the profound impact it's had on their own lives, especially those who have lost their own Kevins. "In the beginning my annual "Hi Kevin" was just a silly gesture to a really nice kid who had been through some tough times," Mike told AARP Magazine. "But it has been my honor to keep the salute going for his friends and family, and for anyone else who has a Kevin to remember."He has no plans of stopping anytime soon.And he hopes that, maybe, he can inspire others to do something kind for someone else. Because sometimes?"Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that end up meaning the most."Mike WitmerMore from Goalcast:Teen With Cancer Invites Taylor Swift to His Prom but She Rejects It – Then She Does ThisYoung Boy Who Was Given Only a Year to Live After Being Diagnosed With Cancer as a Child Just Miraculously Celebrated His 30th BirthdayMom Who Spent Life Savings on Daughter’s Cancer Treatment Wins $2 Million Lottery Jackpot
Everyone wants to feel seen and appreciated in life. Knowing and feeling your purpose can be essential to our overall well-being and our mental health, which is why it’s so important to show people that you appreciate them and care.One small town in Pennsylvania did exactly that one year when they saw just how hard their local UPS driver was working for them and how he went above and beyond to ensure they had the best experience possible.An Exemplary EmployeeDauphin, Pennsylvania, is the type of town you might picture in a Hallmark Christmas movie. There are no traffic lights, and everyone looks out for one another. As of 2021, the population was less than 800 people, making it a tight-knit community.“Blink and you’ll miss it,” resident Joe Calhoun told Today. “But there is something so special here. It’s a small town with a big heart.”UPS driver Chad Turns doesn’t live in Dauphin, but the town is part of his delivery route. Over the years, the driver has endeared himself to the residents with his thoughtfulness and kindness. He carries dog treats for the local pups, for example.“The whole town has had personal experience with Chad,” Adam Shickley told CNN about Turns. “He once thought a package was a gift, and there was a picture on the front. My kids were playing outside, so he waited until his shift was done and came back to make sure they didn’t see it.”“On Facebook, another friend mentioned there was a package that needed signing and they weren’t home,” Jenny Shickley added to Today. “Chad was nervous that it was important, so he went to their parents' house to get it signed for them.”Rough Times for DriversIn 2020, when the pandemic hit, and stay-at-home orders were in place, Turns was still out there making his deliveries. In fact, because so many people were ordering things to their homes, he was busier than ever. That didn’t stop his sunny disposition, but it did make his job a lot harder.The residents noticed and began commenting on how great Turns was doing on the town's Facebook page.“He’s been working 60-80 hour weeks for a year,” Jenny Shickley told Today. “He’s been working Christmas-style hours for 365 days.”Eventually, Shickley was inspired to do something to show Turns how much he meant to all of them. So she organized a “Thank You, Chad” event through social media and rallied everyone to contribute to a group gift.“The funny thing is I meant to set it up for $300, but it set to $500,” she shared. “It hit $500 within two days, and the total wound up being a little over $1,000.”An Epic SurpriseOrganizers worked with UPS dispatch to surprise Turns. One day, the company arranged for Turns' last stop to be an on-demand pickup at the municipal building. The driver thought he was heading out to pick up a box, but when he arrived, community members were standing there holding signs.“It was very overwhelming,” Turns told Today. “The idea that they even thought of me to do anything... to go above and beyond and do what they did was truly amazing to me.”Turns added that he always feels the town’s generosity and noted people often offer him water or cookies as he goes about his route. But this particular act of kindness was a true gift that made him tear up.“I cried,” he said, adding that his wife also teared up. “I always call her when I leave work, and she asks me how my day was. It was a tearjerker. It was very touching and humbling.”“Chad is a great UPSer and has been delivering to Dauphin residents for more than a decade,” UPS spokesperson Jackie Fajt told CNN in a statement. “Celebrations like this really highlight the bond our drivers have with their customer base. We appreciate that UPS drivers like Chad are being recognized for how they are moving our world forward.”Spreading KindnessSo often, we forget about the people in our lives who help make our daily routines easier. The people who make our coffee at the drive-through. Those who deliver our parcels or pick up our trash. The teachers who help to educate our children.This story reminds us that by taking time to thank people, even through small gestures, we can help to make them feel seen and appreciated. Whether that’s offering someone a glass of water, giving them a thank you card, or organizing something bigger, like this town did, every action matters.After all, acts of kindness can make the world a happier place for us all.More from Goalcast:Mom Notices UPS Driver Leave a Message on Her Door Cam – What He Said Changed both Their LivesUPS Driver Goes Viral for Taking Adorable Selfies With Dogs He Meets During Delivery RouteUPS Driver Trusts Instinct And Stops To Check On Resident – Ends Up Saving A Life
*Featured image contains photo by Andrew NeelBirthdays are supposed to be a day of celebration. The one day of the year you're celebrated and loved just for being born. But what happens when you're living out Molly Ringwald's nightmare in Sixteen Candles and your own family forgets what day it is?Well, for a guy named Jason from New York, you turn to your local pizza place for some much-needed comfort food — with a HEAPING DOSE of black olives, thank you very much.(Look, I'm not a fan of olives either but it's the dude's birthday and he wants what he wants).And boy, the restaurant definitely delivered.A Pizza Restaurant Makes “Olive” His Birthday Wishes Come TrueWhile placing his order for vegan chicken nuggets and a pizza, Jason decided to add some special instructions. After all, it was his birthday.The instructions read: "It's my birthday and not even my family called me. I'm sad and I really like olives. Please put on as many black olives as you can. I want you to put on so many black olives that you start to question mine and your own sanity. As much as you can include without being fired. Thank you."Turns out, they understood the assignment. Jason was so impressed by the restaurant's response to his request that he posted about his experience on Reddit's popular r/MadeMeSmile forum under the username u/Jmklein17. He captioned his post, ”I had a c***py birthday but my local pizza place had my back," and attached a photo of his receipt and the pizza he received.Not only did Norbert's Pizza in Brooklyn, NYC, smother the pizza in an impressive amount of olives, but they added an extra container of olives on the side just to be sure. And to "top it off" they even hand-drew a special birthday message on the inside of the box.(And if this doesn't make you want to immediately pick up the phone and start ordering your pizza from Brooklyn, nothing will.)The Pizza Restaurant’s Kind Actions Are Being Hailed OnlineFor Jason, it helped turn an otherwise awful birthday around. "[I] didn't get any birthday wishes from my friends or family so I ordered myself a pizza that was admittedly way too expensive," he shared with Newsweek. "I wasn't sure what to expect, but they really went above and beyond on the pizza — even gave me an extra container of olives on the side in case it wasn't enough. It was very sweet and definitely made my day a little better." People loved the restaurant's response so much that they've upvoted the post more than 97,000 times with many commenters sharing their own birthday wishes."Awww! I LOVE olives too! You’re “oliviously” an awesome person. Happy birthday!" wrote one.Another wrote that as a fellow pizzeria worker, he loved getting bizarre requests like Jason's."I've worked a ton of pizza jobs, and this is the kind of s*** I lived for. It's easy to get lost in the monotony, but getting an opportunity to cheer up a stranger is always a joy. Plus, it's fun to be a little creative with box art. I remember every single instance of people asking for weird custom stuff like this. Just wanted you to know you made their night as well."Even the Smallest Acts of Kindness Can Make a Significant ImpactNorbert's Pizza didn't have to go the extra mile. They could have added a couple of extra olives and called it a day. Instead, they took Jason's plight to heart and did what they could to honor his request in the most amazing way possible.In the end, Norbert's Pizza didn't just deliver a pizza; they delivered a lesson in empathy and the profound impact that one small act of kindness can have.More from Goalcast:Teen With Disability Works at Pizza Joint – Is Speechless After Customer Gives Him $5 Tip Then Changes His MindThe Founder of Little Caesars Pizza Has Paid Rosa Parks’ Rent for Decades – AND He Kept It a SecretDelivery Man Sees a High-Speed Chase and Runs to Stop It – All Without Dropping His Pizza
Bad service, we've all been there. Luke warm food? Hangry stomachs growling? And then being strapped with an expensive bill at the end of it all? Nothing kills the mood of a beautiful evening out faster than slow wait service. Which is exactly what happened to this one couple, who decided to celebrate their anniversary, for what they thought was going to be an easy evening out. How wrong they were. This was one time it would have been wiser to cook at home!Why One Couple Was Annoyed at a RestaurantWhen Makenzie Schultz and her husband, Steven, sat down to a sushi dinner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for their sixth anniversary, they were hoping to have a special night out for such a special occasion. Little did they know how disappointed they would be. The couple were shocked when they looked at the clock and realized it took a staggering 20 minutes to even get a glass of water. Needless to say, the evening was off to a shaky start. Yet, the lovebirds tried to keep a positive outlook in order to enjoy their evening. Unfortunately, things only got worse from there. According to Makenzie, it took the waiter 40 minutes to bring a single appetizer and another hour for their entree to arrive. For those who aren't sure, as a general rule of thumb, appetizers should take no longer than 15 minutes before they reach the table — and for sushi of all cuisines? It's a California roll, not a Thanksgiving turkey! It's not rocket science people.As it turns out, Makenzie and Steven weren't the only ones on the receiving end of the horrendous service. Looking around the dining room it was clear the entire restaurant were up in arms about the slow service. So, they decided to show this one waiter the meaning of "what goes around, comes around."When the Bill Came Around, They Knew Exactly What to DoWhen the server left the bill at the table, the frustrated couple left a shocking tip. They decided to leave a $100 tip on their $66 check for a 150 percent tip!The couple could empathize with the server who was polite even while "dealing with 12 tables on a short-staffed night," because they'd once been in his shoes. In a now-viral Facebook post, Makenzie shared that both she and her husband used to be servers, so they know how challenging and thankless the job can be. Their past experience prompted the couple to "make this guy's night" by leaving a generous tip. They posted their experience on Facebook not to humble brag about their act of kindness, but "as a friendly reminder to think of the entire situation, before you judge."The couple left the restaurant before the server could even thank them for their generosity, but not before leaving the overworked server with some words of encouragement. To make matters even sweeter, the couple left a heartwarming handwritten message at the bottom of their bill, reminding him he isn't alone. Their note read, "We've both been in your shoes. Paying it forward."Read Makenzie’s Story Below:“So here’s the deal. Our service tonight sucked. Took 20 minutes to get water, 40 minutes for an appetizer and over an hour for our entree. People all around us were making fun of the restaurant & how bad the service was. Yeah, it was pretty terrible. But, it was very obvious that the issue was being short staffed, not the server. He was running around like crazy and never acted annoyed with any table. At one point we counted he had 12 tables plus the bar. More than any one person could handle! As I sat there and watched him run back & forth and apologize for the wait, I said to Steven… Wow, this used to be us. Waiting tables. I don’t miss it at all and I never loved that job. I did it for the tips. Steven and I agreed it would feel good to make this guys night when he would probably be getting minimal to no tips due to slow service. We walked out before he saw this and I’m not posting this for a pat on the back. I’m just sharing this as a friendly reminder to think of the entire situation before you judge. And always always always remember where you came from.”Makenzie Schultz, FacebookRather than posting an angry review online or blasting the restaurant on Facebook, Schultz and her husband decided to take a negative situation and make it positive, recognizing that "he probably isn't going to get tips," which is how servers make ends meet. "This definitely was not the largest tip there ever was," Schultz said. "We thought it could make his night a little bit easier.""No matter how much you apologize to tables, there are going to be people rolling their eyes."Makenzie, TODAY.comDays after its initial publication, Makenzie's post gained 1.2 million likes and has since garnered over 257,000 shares and received more than 11,000 comments. Incredibly, even after all these years, those numbers keep growing, all thanks to the enduring inspiration that the couple's kind act touching the hearts of people far and wide.“Think Before You Judge” Is Easier Said Than Done, but That Doesn’t Mean We Shouldn’t TryThinking before judging is easier said than done, which is why we all sometimes need a friendly reminder. In a world where snap judgments are all too common, the couple's story reminds us of the crucial need to think before we judge. It's easy to rush to conclusions, but hasty decisions can lead to misunderstandings, bias, and missed opportunities for kindness. Their thoughtful act, despite the slow service, shows that empathy and understanding should always come before judgment. We never truly know the battles others may be fighting or the challenges they face, and by taking a moment to see things from their perspective, we can create a more compassionate and connected world. So, the Schultz's example encourages us all to take a step back, reflect, and offer the benefit of the doubt whenever possible, making our interactions with others more positive and meaningful.“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."Leo Buscaglia, American AuthorMore from Goalcast:Stranger Refuses to Sit Beside Family Who Had Children With Disabilities – Later, a Waiter Brings Them a Note From HimStruggling Waiter Doesn’t Know How He Will Pay for College – Then a Famous Customer’s Tip Leaves Him Speechless8-Year-Old Finds Out His Favorite Waffle House Waiter Is Hiding a Secret – Doesn’t Hesitate to Raise $64,000 for Him
