While good news seems to be rare enough these days, what’s even more special is when good Samaritans do good things without taking credit. One such do-gooder lives in Plymouth, Massachusetts: an 88-year-old woman who’s mostly homebound spent months knitting 75 warm hats for the cold months, which her daughter then hung on a park fence for anyone in need of a warm cap.
But beyond just the act itself was the fact that she chose to remain anonymous. Her motivation for the knitting and choosing to remain out of the cameras was simple. “I just like to stay in the background,” she said in an interview with WFXT, where her voice could be heard, but her face wasn’t in the frame. “Just because it makes me feel good that I can do something for someone, but take no credit for it.”
