What is the nicest thing you've done for somebody without being able to tell them?

We all(hopefully) do nice things, but sometimes we can't tell those who we're helping. Whether it's simply that you didn't have a chance to tell them, or because telling them would ruin it entirely, keeping it to yourself can be painful, so let's hear what you've done!

So basically brag about your good works to get credit on earth and not in heaven (loss of humility).

This time I was trying to get into nationals for boardercross snowboarding in 2018, I drove to VA to race and on the way I was staying at some city in VA. I stopped at the gas station near my hotel and started talking to this homeless dude sitting on the ground with a cup of change. He looked pretty well kempt and I asked him where he was sleeping tonight and he said ‘here’ and I was aware I got 2 queen beds and so just told him to come on over. 

He was very happy to hear this and we hung out and exchanged stories over espresso and dark chocolate almond milk. (I brought my espresso machine.) 

This hotel also included a full breakfast for all guests and I counted my friend as a guest so we both ate breakfast like kings. They had scrambled eggs, biscuits, potatoes, sausage links, bacon, waffles, strawberries, pancakes - a real fine breakfast. It was honestly one of the happiest moments of my life. I had to go at 9am or so but he had two hours to checkout and he was just so happy to have a nice place to chill for 2 hours and watch TV. 

I got to the snowboard competition (regionals) and successfully secured a slot at nationals and later that year attended nationals in Open/Pro category at Copper Mountain 2018.
