I believe there´s still a lot of good people in the world, we just don´t hear about them that often.
Yesterday I went to Playa del Carmen´s local dog shelter which saves dogs from the street and takes care of them until someone adpots them, I brought them a 17 kilo bag of food but realized there is more than 50 dogs being taken care of.
I realized this shelter needs as much help as we can give them so, whatever this post makes I´m going to use the money to buy dog food and bring it to the shelter.
Im going to upload a post like this every week but every time I´m going to donate the money to a different subject depending on where I am in the world at the moment of the post.
These are some of the most heartwarming stories I´ve read in the past. I know there´s a lot of bad news in the media but not everything going on in the world is negative.
Some of you might already have heard about some of these stories, the purpose of compiling them is so all of you know about them:
8 year old Boy donates 1,000 usd prize to his 2 year old neighbour with Leukemia
Cara Kielty had Leukemia. Wyatt Erber entered a scavenger hunt sponsored by an Illinois bank. The prize was $1,000. He and his mom visited businesses in their hometown, collecting the 20 clues needed to win. When they found out they had been the first team to turn in all the clues, Wyatt inmeaditaley called Cara's mother. He didn´t even care about the money, all he wanted was help his friend.

Firefighter saves the life of a little girl by entering a building in flames
Omid Abbasi died because of brain damage while saving a little girl from a fire in Tehran, Iran. In order to make sure she wouldn´t die, he gave her his oxygen mask which caused him to suffer irreparable brain damage due to the lack of oxyegn. After his death, Omid´s family donated his organs, thus saving the life of three more people. This photo in a different event. A true hero.

Next one is a bit long but worth the read, made me cry.
Terminally ill Feyenord fan sees his dream come true
54 year old Rooie Marck was suffering from a terminal disease and doctors only gave him a few days left to live. His last wisg: to see his favourite football team, Feyenord, one more time.
The club arranged so he could watch the first training of the season from field level. Marck was with his son and a few friends, while the mayority of Feyenord supporters knew this story. So, on the 12th minute, al players stopped their excercise and turned their eyes, along with everyone else in the stadium, towards him.
At the same time, a banner with Marck´s figure on it appeared amongst fans lighting up green flares and smoke, his favourite color, and singing "You will never walk alone".
Visibly touched by this gesture, Marck found the strength to stand up without any support and walk towards his fellow supporters. He was enthusiastically applauded by everyone in the stadium.
Three days later, Rooie Marck passed away.
These stories does not belong to me, I just web browsed and compiled them to show you some of the people or events that have helped me restore my faith in humanity.
Here you can acces the first compilation of stories.

Brilliant concept of post, I may have to borrow the idea at some point in the future. I like that you also posted in spanish, I think ill read that as well to try to hone my spanish speaking. May I ask, is the post in spanish because of your location or some other reason? Do you speak english primarily or spanish? Im curious.

Steal it away my friend! Let´s make this tag "faithinhumanity" a tag that people identify and like!
My first language is spanish, but i know the majority of people here speak english as a first or second language, but the spanish community, my community, also deserves me posting in spanish so that is why I do two posts, so if there is someone from my community that doesnt speak english, they can still read my posts :)

That's awesome! Maybe one of these days I'll speak spanish well enough to feel confident commenting under the spanish version (: I'm fascinated with the language, but I'v only been learning for 3 years so I'm not quite at conversational level yet. Still working towards it though! Do you prefer speaking spanish over english or does it not really matter to you? Sorry for the barage of questions, I find language really interesting and bilingual people especially so.

If lu want you can add me on steemit.chat and we can practice your spanish. Lets boost that confidence. Well, I am a differente person when i speak a differente language. I read about how speaking differente languages changes your personality, you can find yourself more open to some subjects when you speak in another laguage and i found that to be true. For instance, to speak about politics or flirt with someone i prefer english but to have an argument about science or literature i prefer english. its funny.

Here is a great story by @hanshotfirst that will show you some Faith In Humanity. Strange that the mainstream media did not talk about it at all.
A Professional Athlete Has Done Something Shocking... and the Media Appears to be Trying to Cover it Up!
