When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes. - Thomas S. Monson
At a time when a monumental calamity has engulfed the planet, we have seen many politicians, entrepreneurs, and celebrities come forward to generously share their wealth and help the common man. Their generosity is indeed appreciable and was duly covered by the mass media. However, there is also this bunch of common men and women who, by their sheer determination, grit, and hard work, helped countless lives caught in the crossfire of the pandemic, hunger, loneliness, and poverty.
Some got noticed, but many went unrecognised, as they did not care about being in the limelight. For them, true joy and fulfilment come from being of service to others rather than from being in the spotlight. There are hundreds of such real-life heroes walking unsung among us. We connected with a few of them and share their stories here with you.
