For years, I saved every penny for my dream car, a cherry-red Mustang GT. Just two months away from affording it, everything changed.

One evening, I saw a little girl begging strangers to help her sick father. Everyone ignored her, so I followed her to their apartment. Inside, her father was barely breathing. I called 911 and went to the hospital with them. There, I learned he had no insurance, and the treatment cost exactly what I’d saved. Without hesitation, I paid for his care, draining my savings and giving up my dream car.

Days later, a coworker showed me a viral post about my act of kindness. The next day, I received a call from a dealership offering me a brand-new Mustang, no strings attached.

I drove straight to the girl’s apartment, where she ran into my arms. Her father thanked me, and I realized I had already received my reward.
