1. Police officers rescue ducklings from a storm drain

2. A wild stag and an elderly woman become best friends

Twice a day, this wild deer named Flippen climbs up to Mette Kvam, an 81-year-old woman's window in Norway while she pets him and gives him a snack. A bystander caught one of their adorable interactions on a video you can watch here.

3. These parents who gave their autistic son the best gift ever

These parents from Texas went viral when they surprised their autistic son with his very own mini-Blockbuster store after he was heart broken from his local Blockbuster being closed down.

4. A doctor has been feeding nearly 500 helpless elderly people every day for 10 years

Dr. Uday Modi started the Sharavan Tiffin Seva ten years ago when one of his elderly patients came to him for help because he and his ill wife were not able to make or even purchase their own food. After this event he began to make meals for the helpless elderly community in Mumbai, India daily starting with only 11 per day, a number which now soars into the hundreds every single day.

5. Anti-Trump protesters aid a Trump supporter after he collapses during protests

At protests in Wisconsin, Pat Ventura and Ana Draa, both anti-Trump protesters, were among the first people to respond to the collapse of a pro-Trump supporter and gave their aid in anyway possible. Later they spoke of the stark differences in ideology between the man and them and their responsibility to provide their care regardless of political standing. Draa and Ventura prove that in spite of our political ideology, we are all still human and capable of giving our care and prayers.
