In Ho Chi Minh City, ordinary people give free bread, haircuts, and vehicle repairs. Their simple kindness shows how everyday actions can help neighbours.
Pham Quang Huy, the owner of To Coffee, stocks a free bread cabinet with 100 loaves. All loaves are taken within about an hour. Even when the cabinet is stolen or damaged, he replaces the bread each time.
Khong Van Tung and ten other barbers have run a free haircut station under the Nguyen Thai Son overpass for five years. About 40 people, mostly elderly, receive a haircut there each day. They work from 10 am to 3 pm and enjoy the thanks of their visitors.
Do Van Ut, 63, has repaired vehicles for people with disabilities free of charge for over 30 years. He also maintains a first‑aid cabinet and arranges free coffins for families. He says charging VND10,000 would equal the earnings of a disabled person from ten lottery tickets, so he chooses to ease their burden.
All three providers say they will keep helping as long as they have strength, and they hope their actions inspire more free community services. Their ongoing kindness shows how ordinary people can make a big difference.
