We are 100% sure that superheroes are real and they live among us. They just don’t wear fancy costumes. They’re ordinary people who can’t pass by someone who needs help. For example, today you’ll meet the 10-year-old Sophia who spent all her money on toys for animals.

Bright Side hopes that these 17 kind stories will inspire you to do good things. And don’t miss our bonus at the end: a “consequence” of a random act of kindness.
