  1. What a wonderful story. just goes to show that when you bless someone with kindness, blessings happened to you in return

  2. How she call an uber without her phone?

  3. He only helped her cause she was attractive lol

  4. The main thing is people don't help people it a dogy dog world

  5. She's an 😇 Prayers for his father and daughter.

  6. This is absolutely beautiful

  7. 🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾❤️

  8. There need to be more story like this instead of harassment and assault stories on drivers.

  9. Most y'all in this comment won't do the same stop pretending to be happy for them

  10. America! The greatest nation in the world has to raise money on go fund to help sick patients!
    Wake the F up and demand Medicare for all from your politicians.

  11. atta girl thank you for using your influence

  12. holy Smokes shes Smoking hot!

  13. "ARK" One small Act of Random Kindness!!!

  14. “It doesn’t cost to be neighborly” props to this man

  15. When you do a kind deed to someone without expecting anything in return you will receive double. It's always pays to do good deeds in a world that's full of hatred.

  16. Amazing story.. 🙏🏻

  17. This is what all influencers should do once they become big. She's a really nice girl for that.

  18. I wonder how much of the gofund me she will keep?

  19. Gtfo Raul definitely wouldn't do this if this was a mom or a guy. Foh

  20. shoot he was just trying to get that phone number lol

  21. 🥇👏👏👏Excellent! It's always nice to here of some who can use their current position in life to help others and these two both did that. ⚖

  22. This was more of a plug for Coachella than anything else

  23. He went the extra mile because she is hot. That’s the truth. But, it’s good because it helped his situation tremendously.

  24. See some social media good like this good people…

  25. An "Uber" on "TikTok" at "Coachella" used "GoFundMe"…. You'd be locked up in a rubber room for speaking in tongues if you said that in '97.

  26. In the world full of bad news, thanks to this uplifting story, gives us hope knowing there still kindness going around.

  27. Dang he just perfectly scored one of the hottest females ever 😆 that is awesome

  28. Finally an influencer I can stand. Good work girl 👏🏽

  29. Nice story great job!

  30. Many are saying that the third world war will start, I think no country has the courage to start a world war. The current nuclear age world war started i.e. the destruction of the world. If 20/25 nuclear bombs are detonated anywhere in the world, the effect will be on the whole world. There will be no country, there will be no people, there will be no head of the country, there will be no political, in one word, everything is over. Heads of state of influential countries know it well. So there is no chance of a world war. Since there is no courage to fight, make peace without deceiving the people, bring the world back to normal without the jam of the world, the common people of the world want peace, not war

  31. this is amazing. love it

  32. Yeah the only reason this guy helped her so much that first time is because she's a young pretty blonde.
