Arlett is 12 years old and fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer. Earlier this year, she lost vision in one eye, and doctors warned she could lose sight in the other without urgent surgery and specialist care. When creator @Isaiah Garza met Arlett, he found her selling her paintings to help cover the cost of treatment. He shared her story on TikTok, and started a GoFundMe to help pay for expenses and support her family. In just days, more than 10,000 donors have helped raise an astonishing $335,000. “It’s crazy because I KNEW the second i met her i just knew we would change her life,” Garza said. “I asked her if she believed in miracles & she said ‘what is life if we don’t’ from that moment on I just knew!” This is what the power of community looks like: thousands of strangers showing up so a 12-year-old can keep fighting — and keep seeing the world around her.

This week, Brittany Bell, a waitress from Atlanta, Georgia, was reunited with two-year-old Beckham and his mother, @Chalaine, at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Bell and Beckham first captured hearts in a now-viral video showing Bell stepping in to comfort Beckham during a difficult travel day. Moved by Bell’s kindness, Beckham’s mother, along with supporters online, wanted to find a meaningful way to say thank you. Chalaine organized a GoFundMe campaign, which quickly gained traction. Since the moment went viral, supporters from around the world have contributed more than $12,000 as a “tip” to recognize Bell’s generosity. On Monday, GoFundMe, Beckham, and Chalaine presented Bell with a big check at the airport. Brittany says she plans to use the money as a down payment toward homeownership. #fypシ #randomactsofkindness #kindness #parentsoftiktok #restaurantlife

Some people make an impact in quiet, everyday ways. Lavonte Harvey is one of them. Known to many as the singing USPS worker who’s brought smiles to millions online, he shows up to work every day as himself—sharing joy, lifting spirits, and reminding people how powerful small moments can be. Behind the viral videos is a real daily grind. Lavonte (@Prince Tae🤞🏽😊) currently spends more than two hours on public transit each way just to get to and from work. After so many people asked how they could support him, this GoFundMe was created to help him purchase a reliable car—bringing more stability to his daily life and making it easier for him to keep showing up for the work and community he cares so deeply about. If Lavonte’s voice made your day a little brighter, this is a chance to return that love. Whether you choose to donate, share, or simply say hello to *your* local mail carrier, every bit of support means more than you know. You can find the link in bio 💚 Thanks to @The Grant Queen for the video! #chicago #mailman #usps #singersoftiktok #fypシ
