A gentleman surprised a neighbor of his, a single mother experiencing a rough patch, with a touching act of kindness that has since gotten a lot of attention.
Life is full of unexpected, often difficult circumstances. Whether it be job loss, the death of a loved one or a failed relationship, situations can push us to our breaking point. Things can get to the point where something as simple as mowing a neighbor's lawn can brighten up someone's entire day, week or life.
A video posted to TikTok shows John Vargo approaching his neighbor, Mallory Mason's house, knocking and then patiently waiting for her to come to the door. Once she answers the door, John explains where he lives. He then surprises her with an unexpected act of kindness and love.

Mallory's husband had recently left her and her children. John was hoping to help her out and provide her with some assistance, according to Sunny Skyz.
"I'd like to come down and cut your grass," John says.
Mallory is not sure how to react to John's kind offer.
"Are you sure?" she asks. "That's so sweet of you. Are you sure?"
At this point during their conversation, tears filled John's eyes, as the video's caption states. He was moved to tears by what the young mother was going through.
