However, one man, Calvin Godette, did. His simple act of kindness changed someone’s entire life.
Kindness For A Heartbroken Widow
Calvin is a utility worker in Chesterfield, Pennsylvania, and he knows what it means to fix problems. He also understands kindness and shows constant care, love and consideration for his fellow man. He does it so often that he spends approximately half of his income helping other people, according to a video posted on YouTube.
Calvin Godette knows that a simple act of kindness could change an entire life.
“You never know, Calvin said. “You could do something for somebody or talk to someone and you could change their whole situation.”

When Calvin was in the drive-thru at Burger King, he spotted Denise Walters, a woman in the car behind him. She was sad, obviously going through something painful at the time. Calvin decided to pay for her meal, a small way to try and brighten her day.
Denise had just lost her husband, Andy, of more than 40 years.
“Somebody to do something that nice for you on that very moment when I thought nothing could make me happy again, it just touched my heart,” Denise said.
So, she tracked Calvin Godette down. She stopped him on the highway and thanked him for his kind act. She also told Calvin’s employer about his act, and got him recognized before a county board.
