There is something wrong with the text in the images. It gets really blurry towards the end.
I sure hope this is real. I need to believe there is a shred of decency left in some people.
I highly recommend reading Humankind by Rutger Bregman. It made me feel better about us as a species.

Jesus that made me cry.
As someone who has had to spend a lot of time in hospitals, especially when I still worked and was away from family and friends for work trips, stuff like this is amazing.
It's great to see good people still exist.
The story continues:
I want to believe, but the cynic in me refuses to believe anyone other than that grandfather is real. people just aren't that nice anymore.
A lot of people want to be. The current world makes it so that it's less people won't, but can't figure out how.
Often, if 1 person starts something, and it's seen to help, others will join in. It just takes 1 person to start it, and another to make it a group activity.
They're gonna get a library so big that a bigot's gonna want to burn parts.
