A generous driver (Pakistan)

First appeared here.

In Karachi, a simple act of kindness made a world of difference for many. Muhammad Waseem, a rickshaw driver, noticed how often people struggled to pay full fare, especially those who were elderly, sick, or carrying small children. Quietly, without making a show of it, he decided to offer free rides to those who needed them most.

He kept a small sign inside his rickshaw that said, “If you are unable to pay, you are still welcome.” Many passengers didn’t notice it at first, but when they realized it, they were often moved to tears. Waseem never asked for anything in return, only smiling and wishing them well when they reached their destinations. His small rickshaw became a little moving shelter of kindness in the busy streets of Karachi, and many who once needed his generosity now look for ways to pass it on to others.
