Kindness Goes Viral

To receive such generosity from a complete stranger astounded the couple.

"This man is a God send!" Deanna wrote when sharing the story on Facebook.

Deanna shared the touching act of kindness on Facebook as a reminder that good people still exist. And in no time, the story of Mo's generosity had gone viral!

But as far as Mo's concerned, he just did what he was supposed to. After hearing Deanna and Benjamin were a couple fleeing Hurricane Irma, he started thinking about what he could do to help. And once Deanna wrote about what he did on Facebook, Mo received a flood of calls!

“I was trying to remain anonymous to be honest with you because I don’t like publicity and it was amazing to get the kind of response,” the humble Mo said. “I’m overwhelmed and emotional because I don’t expect it.”

“I was absolutely astounded that people like that really exist. I see videos on Facebook and I see the stories and you always think, that doesn’t happen, it’s not really life, but it happened to us,” she said.

In fact, Deanna likes to call Mo a hero. But the humble guy won't stand for it.

“I don’t feel that way at at all. The people who are there working trying to save people, first responders, law enforcement, volunteers are the heroes, I’m nobody," he replied. "I just saw someone in need and I just reached out a hand.”

Imagine what a beautiful world it would be if more and more people reached out a hand to those in need! h/t: Facebook/Deanna Feist / AJC YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Couple Hides In Bathroom With Baby Triplets As Irma Rips House Apart Credit: Facebook (triplets)/ Twitter (wreckage)
