Have you ever heard or seen something so wholesome and selfless that it completely changed your life in anyway; if so has it changed your life for better or for worse?

I used to live in a children's home for a while because my Mama was too sick to take care of me sometimes. I have two stories of children from there being super selfless. First was a girl, she was like an older sister to me cause I was about 8 and she was 15. She looked out for me every day and from my first day on she made sure I find friends and so on. She was there because her parents started neglecting her. But when she was being adopted she found a really nice family. On her last day in the orphanage she gave me a necklace (it was a religious one) which she got from her parents and said "I don't need this now cause I have new parents"
Second was my best friend, both his parents had passed away and he was also waiting for adoption. But we got really close, we really spend every second together and when he found a family that wanted to adopt him he refused cause he didn't want to leave me.
