I'm not sure everyone would do the same, but it's stories like this that keep my belief in humanity from being completely extinguished.

I once took a wrong turn on the back roads of a Wisconsin winter. This was about 130a so no one was around for miles. Unfortunately, I ended up with a flat. As I'm emptying my trunk to change it with the crappy factory jack (in the middle of a country road, under the light of the stars and just a small flashlight), an elderly couple rolls up out of nowhere and offers to assist. They had my passenger hang with his wife in their van/truck while he and I got to work.

Afterward, they had us stop by their small farm house for a map check (pre GPS) and explained the wrong turn. She made us hot cocoa for the drive and got us on our way. They were the sweetest strangers I've ever met.

I remember one Christmas as a child, on our way home in the Midwest, the roads got bad with snow and we slid into a ditch. We were fine, but there was no Towtrucks available. We happened to be right by a farm in the middle of nowhere. They were very sweet and took us inside and made us kids hot cocoa and put something on the TV for us to watch while the adults found a way to tow our car out with their truck and special equipment. It was easily below freezing and they saved our lives that night. I don’t know who they were, but I am so grateful and wish them the best.
