Watching this 4:04-minute video up to the very last minute of its run had my stomach churning knots, my heart in palpitations and my eyes welling up with involuntary tears.

The video entitled  “A dying child, a distraught father and a tattooed stranger” is one of the more powerful and emotionally surged-up video I have come across yet – and one which represented a situation in which no parents would ever want to be…in either position.

But above all, it is videos like this that restores my faith in human kind and a testament as to why we should never, ever judge anyone by how they look or what they wear.
