While men and women often fall in love, get married, and even have children, their love stories sometimes don’t last very long.

According to statistics, “18.4 million children, 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home.”

And, while women do have the power to take care of their children, they clearly face a very hard time when they are abandoned by their husbands or boyfriends.

You see, what they need to do is clearly be present for their children.

They are supposed to keep the house decent for them, cook for them, take care of them, or even help them with their homework.

However, they don’t have enough time to do all that or play games with them because they also have to pay all the bills, which means they need to work for several hours every day.

And, on top of everything? Besides everything else, they need to take care of mowing the lawn every now and then so that their house has a decent appearance.

Do they have extra time to do that alone?

Or extra money to pay someone to take care of that?

Well, we have no idea how Mallory Mason wanted or could deal with that, but we know who actually did it for her.

It was her neighbor, John Vargo, who, a few days ago, knocked on her door to let her know he could help her with that.

As we can see in the doorbell camera video that Mallory posted on TikTok a few days ago, John knocked on Mason’s door and introduced himself.

He said that he lived with his wife right around the corner, and that he had realized she and her children had recently been abandoned by her husband.

That’s why he offered to mow her lawn. Mallory asked several times if he was sure, and he definitely was.

But the most unexpected thing was when she asked if he was okay, he said “no”, which made the emotional woman give him a hug.

John later explained that he could do that lawn mowing right then, and Mallory soon posted another video showing him doing this hard work.

People who watched the videos simply loved the kindness of that man, and they couldn’t stop wishing blessings to him.

“We need more men like him!!!” someone wrote, while someone else commented: “this guy is an earth angel. [H]e is sent for your protection.”

A few days later, Mason created a GoFundMe page to help her kind neighbor get some money maybe to buy new lawn equipment, as someone suggested in her video comments, or to simply thank him for his kind deed that clearly went a long way.

Indeed, no matter how small a kind gesture is, it can really be very significant for a person that is going through something very hard.

Let’s just keep this man’s kindness in mind and, maybe, do the same thing if we can at some point.
