A US man, Tony Berard, who rides his bike down a busy highway to work the midnight shift at a local grocery has been rewarded with a new car. He was offered a ride by Jason Kapoor who was driving on the opposite side. He later found out that Tony was having financial problems due to taking care of his sick wife and they couldn't afford to repair their car or buy a new one. Jason later raised a GoFundMe page that amassed donations of $19,000, which was used to buy a minivan for Tony.

A Syrian refugee, 33-year old Abdul Halim al-Attar who was photographed selling pens in the streets of Beirut with his daughter on his shoulder, now runs three businesses in the city. This was after an online crowdfunding campaign in his name collected $191,000.  Two months ago, the father of two opened a bakery and has since added a kebab shop and a small restaurant to his business venture -and he employs 16 Syrian refugees.
