I have a friend - which I met through drinking, that is an elementary school teacher in an incredibly poor area in the United States. I had known her for probably 3 years and met her 3-4 times a week for drinks and she never mentioned it once.
But one day she had a pretty rough day and needed someone to talk to so I listened. There were about 4 kids in her classes that came from families that have absolutely nothing. She tells me they wore shoes to school that were falling apart, the bottoms were missing the tops were broken the strings missing too. They only eat at school and had never been taught to care for themselves or bathe and brushing their teeth was something that only happened for special occasions.
She went to the parents of these children to ask if she could help them as much as she can afford to and all 4 said yes. She had been going over to 4 children's homes every morning to feed them, make sure they were dressed, and bathed, after school she tutored them and tried to find positive role models to bring these at risk children something good in there lives and bought then clothing and shoes and things they needed.
One of the mothers that hated her child told her she wished she could just give her son to my friend because she didn't wanted him and he was ruining her life - this was the kid that was in the worst situation at home. The mother left a note saying that she wanted her to take the kid and she just left town and was arrested for something a few days later while my friend suddenly has this child she has to care for. That all happened the day she needed someone to talk to. She had been keeping all of this to her self and not mentioning it to her friends because she knew it wasn't about her but she just wanted to help the kids. Long story short the kid ended up staying with her for a few months and she had started the process of adopting him and his grandparents that lived in the same town had waited for months before showing up and took the kid and moved to Florida.
I know it doesn't mean much to anyone here but to me the fact she tries so hard to do so much for children that really need the help AND it's done only to help the children means so incredibly much to me. She doesn't go around posting this on social media or putting bumper stickers on her car, and she's not telling everyone she knows what she does in her free time. But just the amount she cares about something that she's not obligated to care about impresses me and I've told her since our talk that while I'm not telling anyone we mutually know about the situation I think she's the nicest person I think I've ever met or will meet in my life.
