When I lived in Germany, I lost my wallet on the train. A woman (we were both in our early twenties) called my office to tell me she had it. I came to her house to pick it up, and she was very pleasant.
I will always fondly remember her kindness.

I was in a smallish city in Denmark on a bike trip, and I got really lost trying to find a bridge. I don't speak Danish. A man on a bike saw me looking at my map and seemed to be offering to help, but he didn't speak English. I showed him on the map where I wanted to go, and he beckoned me to follow him. I was even more lost than I had realized, as I thought one body of water that I could see was the one I was looking for, but it wasn't, so it probably took him 15 mnutes winding through the town to get me to the bridge I'd been trying to find. Then he waved his hand and headed right back where we had come from, so it wasn't that he was going that way anyway. I shouted "TAK," (=thanks) which was about the only word I knew. It gave me a good feeling about Danish people that a complete stranger would go so far out of his way to help a foreigner who couldn't even speak his language!

I was on a boating trip on the Ohio River between IN and KY. We stopped at Mount Vernon, IN to eat and buy supplies for the boat. A retired man sitting at the dock told us where to get a good breakfast (he was right), then about an hour later came to check on us and gave us a ride to the store. Then he took us back to the boat so we didn't have to carry everything. All out of the kindness of his being.

my dad and i were an hour from home when we got a flat and he had just bought the truck and lo and behold there was not a spare! this very nice man stopped took my dad to a place to get the tire fixed and then even drove us back to the truck and help my dad put in on, this took like two hours of the mans time and he wouldn't except any money he just told us to pay it forward to help someone else and my dad and i have both stoped for people since. he more then i because i only stop for the elderly and women, you can never be too careful now days. although my mom and i stoped for a group of young boys who had a car accident, they had already called for help and were not hurt so we went on our way, but we felt save enough because there was two of us,

I was on my way to work when my tire blew out. I wasn't hurt though. A few seconds later, a man stopped and offered me a ride home. I was reluctant at first, but my 6th sense told me that he was OK. Anyway, he voluntarily bought me a new tire ( I had a small doughnut tire) and installed it unto my vehicle for me at no charge. Of course, I offered to pay, but he refused the money.
