I was driving to my parents’ house with my daughter Emma when I stopped to help an elderly couple with a flat tire during a snowstorm. They thanked me, and we went our separate ways. A week later, my mom called screaming for me to turn on the TV. The couple I helped were actually a former senator and his wife. They offered me a $25,000 reward and created an award honoring everyday people who choose kindness when no one is watching.
