I always stopped in a Convenient Store on my way to work - years ago this was. There was always a bag lady that hung around or inside the store. She would always smile and say hello. She never begged for anything or asked you for money.
One day I stopped in and she was inside as it was cold and rainy out. I'm not sure what the occasion was or even if there was a special occasion but this young man dressed in executive type clothing bought a bouguet of flowers that they sold in there, gave them to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. The look on that lady's face was priceless. She glowed. Everyone in the store was teary eyed.
I make it a point to say hello to a homeless man we have living in our area. His name is Larry. Each Christmas I get him a gift card - annonymously - from the grocery store he frequents. No one knows anything about him but the whole community is aware of him and sort of watches out for him in different ways. He never asks for a thing.

Your story is so heart warming that it brought tears to my eyes. (I'm a softy for those down on their luck and animals.)
Five years ago one of my best friends was diagnosed with cancer that wasn't operable. Both of her parents were deceased so she had no close family. Three other ladies and myself took care of her and were there with her at the end.
This started my husband and I on a mission. We helped organize 3 benefits raising over $12000.00 for her medical expenses. Every year on Memorial Weekend there are a group of us that have a 3 day charity benefit and we donate the proceeds to either Cancer research or another person we know that is ill. Sadly, we have even paid for the headstones of two people that have passed.
We take part in other benefits during the year for people that may have been hurt and are unable to work. We also helped organize an "American Troops Phone Home" benefit that raised over $6000.00 for phone cards for troops.
It's such a great feeling to give back to people.

A woman who had a baby die in childbirth was trying to get rid of her cloth diaper stash, so she wouldn't have it in her house. It was large, so it was hard for any person to buy the whole thing. My sister whose kids are out of diapers now and who doesn't have lots of money to spare bought the stash and then gifted it to at least 8 different moms.
