There is so much negativity and sadness in the world. So when you see, or come across someone like Ms. Lynn, you can't help but to smile and relax . Ms. Lynn is EXACTLY what we need right now. We need kindness, happiness, sincerely, positivity, and hope. In other words, we need more Ms. Lynn's in the world. Let's get back to smiling at each other, complimenting each other, hugging each other, and just being there for each other. ❤Ms. Lynn😊

Yes, yes and YES!!!! I LOVE everything you said here and I couldn’t agree with you more! 😊 I just knew this video was going to be extra special when I saw the title and it sure didn’t disappoint. I do understand Lynn’s heart and she is a rare one for sure. She cares so much for people and doesn’t expect anything material in return. What a kindred spirit she is. We need a return to love, kindness, compassion and empathy in this country! Lynn exemplifies all that and more! Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging comment and bless your heart! ❤️

I wish her a full recovery. Bless this woman for helping and her dedication to a stranger. Having been through cancer and taking myself to all of my treatments after having no rides and needing to work...I learned that The American cancer society has specific volunteers for this exact situation. If no volunteers are available, they’ll fund and send an Uber to drive you both ways.

Lynn, if you're reading this by any crazy chance, I just want you to know that I think what you do is incredibly admirable and brave in this dangerous world we live in. I have Type 1 Bi Polar disorder as well, with rapid cycling mania. Before I was diagnosed and put on medication, i would shoplift for absolutely no reason. Ive been a firefighter/paramedic for 15 years, and if I'd have gotten caught, that would have been rhe end of my career. Luckily, it was caught at the beginning of my career, and I dont get those grandiose ideas that I'm invincible and am immune to being arrested anymore. It is truly my passion to be of service to others, and I just wanted you to know that youve inspired me to do exactly what you're doing when I retire sometime in the next 10 years. God bless you and keep you safe. Much love from Houston Texas.

She talked about being arrested and that she felt shamed that she could act so awful that she would be arrested. I don’t think our prisons would be as full if more people thought like that. There’s a sheriff in FL. who arrested a married man for being a child predator. His wife was naturally appalled at learning this because she spent her life working as a child advocate for kids who were sexually assaulted. I think that’s what they said she did. Something protecting kids from being preyed upon.
