Every day, life presents us with countless opportunities to bless others with acts of kindness. Whether it be something huge or something simple– like the time an Enterprise employee held a distressed customer’s baby for her– kindness has the power to change lives, even the world.

A man named Marcos is exhibiting kindness in a random, but totally heartwarming way: by stuffing $100 into Redbox DVDs! And now his kindness is now going viral.
It started when a Twitter user named Liz posted the Tweet below, about her mom stumbling upon Marcos’s surprising gift.
My mom was just hoping to relax & enjoy a movie, but instead God blessed her with more. Marcos whoever you are, God bless you. @redbox pic.twitter.com/Jxk6uzjwZ0

A note from Marcos explained everything…
Twitter
Hello!
My name is Marcos. Every month I take $100.00 that I’d normally spend on myself and give it away to a stranger. This month I decided to change it up and put it in a Redbox DVD. You are the 1st giveaway of 2017!
I just ask that you put this money to good use. If you don’t need it, give it away. If you need it, keep it.
Have a great day!
Marcos
Since Liz posted her mom’s story, the tweet has been shared almost 30,000 times in less than 3 days.
Relatives of the mysterious Marcos saw the viral tweet and responded, letting Liz know that Marcos has been giving away $100 a month for years! Normally he gives to homeless individuals, but this month he felt like changing it up.
@lifeaslizz__ @redbox, he is has been doing this for a few years now, first time this way. So happy your Mom was on the receiving end.
