This is a question 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?

the reason I asked
was to see if he read the people he was referring to, or just read what other people said they said.

The fact that he got Bertrand Russell's name wrong implies that he's not familiar with his writing, he's just read that "Bertrand Russell wrote that the government should destroy the family" or similar.

Also I noticed that all his references are in the form "X wrote that such-and-such should happen", rather than direct quotes.

Orwell was one of the few figures who rejected this movement
and you could do worse than looking into the Tavistock Institute in London
