White Mom Yells at Black Man to Stop Cutting Her Grass—When He Refuses, She’s in Tears

With the heart-wrenching news of mass shootings flooding our social media feeds, it’s beautiful to see a story of love and light break through the tragedy.

Every once in a while a man like Johnny of Taylors, South Carolina restores our faith in humanity with an act of kindness that’s simply too sweet to ignore.

Hoping to make a little cash by cutting his neighbors’ grass, Johnny was going door-to-door asking if he could mow lawns.

When he came across the front door of Helen Bell, his offer was met with an amiable but firm “no,” as the struggling mother didn’t have enough money to afford the service at the time.

However, a couple of hours later, Helen heard a loud buzzing outside, and she noticed Johnny was in her yard cutting the grass.  Though she ran out yelling for him to stop, the persistent stranger shook his head ‘no,’ and just kept on going.

When he revealed the reason why he was doing it free of charge, Helen was instantly brought to tears.

In the words of Johnny, “The news doesn’t report the black neighbor helping out the white neighbor because it isn’t good for the network to make money.”
