0:09.0 | stories where one person reached out to help another in a time of need. |
0:13.7 | My unsung hero is a boy named Spencer. |
0:17.0 | He was like a Sunday. |
0:19.0 | Julie would drop off soup at our house. |
0:21.4 | I look forward to it every week. |
0:23.0 | I would say, thank you for giving me one of the best gifts of my life. |
0:28.0 | Today's story comes from Oliver Munster. |
0:31.0 | About 15 years ago, Oliver had to travel from his home in Leipzig, Germany to a town |
0:36.8 | a few hours away for a job interview. |
0:39.8 | And I went there a night before and checked into the hotel, it was kind of tired, and in the morning, |

2:02.0 | Good luck. And it was just this the spontaneous act of kindness so |

2:32.0 | It was such a spontaneous, wonderful gesture that it really instilled this idea in myself that I'm part of this brotherhood of, you know, kindness that goes around. |
2:50.0 | And so ever since when I see someone who needs anything, you know, I'm very willing to share and I always think about this one day where someone, a total stranger stranger bailed me out, you know, out of a lot of trouble. |
