The nicest thing someone's ever done for me
In amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

Nothing is nicer than freedom!
I once lived in an isolated vilage in the middle of nowhere, along the Mexican border to be precise. Things were pretty bad for all of the residents as it was run by a local millionaire who made his money through the weapons trade. Basically he owned half the village and treated any residents like shit thanks to his own special police force that he brought in (A bunch of inbred knuckledraggers in army style fatigues that would happily beat their own Grandma if she looked funnily at his pint).
One day I was being accused by one of the aforementioned knuckledraggers about a missing loaf of bread and instead of getting my usual pasting some passing bloke turns up and throws the guard off of me. I thanked the stranger for his act of kindness and he must have seen the village was in desperate need of help. He took me to meet some of his mates who promised to sort out the whole situation for the town.
I was happy to accept the offer and am glad to report that they did just that, after building a tank from a clapped out Ford with fireworks for projectiles (why the goons decided to lock the gang in a shed with welding gear and explosives readily available is a mystery to me).
I have heard that this team have helped a number of towns throughout the 80's and I am suprised that they havent been mentioned so far on this QOTW.
Note: The only downside of them coming to my village was that my older sister (allegedly the best looking girl in the villlage) picked up an STD from the good looking one who did sod all fighting.
