Just now I gained new-found faith in Humanity. As I got off work I walked to my car, got in and turned the key only to have it not start. Having gone through this situation several times in the past few years I was dreading having to do it again. I popped open my hood and began jiggling the wires, and tapping on the battery to see if I could trick it to start, since I know nothing about cars, but couldn't get it to work.

A few moments later a stranger on a bike rolled up to me and asked if I needed help, I told him I did. He looked in my hood and asked if I had any tools with me, which I replied with no (forgetting that I actually did), so he looked through a plastic bag he had saying "Lemme see if I can help get you started."

He then told me his name was Jason, and that he was currently homeless and trying to get his life back on track, but saw me having trouble with my car and decided to try and help me out. He was really nice and after only a few moments he got my car back running, he showed me the problem and even told me what I should do to fix it (even though I'm most likely just going to go to a garage to have someone else fix it).

I got out my wallet because I had $10 in bills inside it and gave it to him telling him he was a lifesaver, but I honestly wish I had more on me at that moment. As I drove away I couldn't help but feel so bad that such a nice guy was currently homeless. His little plastic bag having only a few items in it and an extra pair of pants..

Thank you Jason.
