A former child refugee has tracked down and personally thanked a man who gave her a red bicycle over 20 years ago shortly after she and family arrived in the Netherlands from war-torn Iraq.

LONDON — posted a message on Twitter

"My mum says the greatest thing he did was listen at a time when nobody really treated you like a human," she told NBC News earlier this week. Babakar and her mother eventually settled in London and were joined by her father. The family lost touch with the kind man from the reception center.

Everyday acts of kindness can make a difference in people's lives. Just think of the differences we could make as a society if we were like-minded and kind in our actions and expected our leaders to do the same.

In the world the way it is today, the smallest light can be blinding.

Awesome refugees

Sweet 😊

Hopefully refugees in the future will track down realDonaldTrump and his family too
