Through brief stories of calling upon an elderly woman who was no longer able to drive or get out and about, a farmer who had become ill and needed help planting his crops and maintaining his farm, and a single mother with a newborn baby who needed a loving companion and father, those who offer a helping hand and guidance end up bettering and enriching everyone's lives. (For instance, the elderly woman was able to get the things she needs to remain in her home and ease her loneliness, the farmer was able to recover and had his best harvest yields ever, and the single mother found a man who helped her establish a loving family.)
