You guys remember that story in the news a while back about the Good Samaritan who paid for 30 hotel rooms out of her own pocket to help homeless people during the polar vortex? Well, I JUST MET HER! This beautiful angel who grew up on the south side started a ripple of serious kindness when she got those 30 rooms... which led to more people chipping in and even more kindness and more rooms and more helpers and more good! If you haven’t read about her story, Google: Candice Payne Polar Vortex and get some serious inspiration to go out there today and make a difference. All starts with one person ✌🏻#compassion at its finest ✨#moregood In #chicago #candicepayne ☺️ (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvGz4LlHunX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1en9dkxbvlpvw

#CBSChicago reports it all started with Candice Payne’s first act of kindness, and then it snowballed into “a lifesaving effort by a group of strangers on the city’s South Side.” Many people living in a “tent city” had to abandon the area after a propane tank being used for heat exploded. Volunteer Candice Payne started it all, “impulsively charging 20 hotel rooms on her American Express card after realizing how dangerous this week’s sub-zero temperatures would be.” That’s when other volunteers also dug deep into their pockets and picked up the tab for a total of 60 hotel rooms for homeless men and women during the cold snap. Jermaine and Robert told CBS Chicago that Candice is “their angel.”  “We don’t get that type of help,” Jermaine said. “I really needed them at that point, so they came right in time.” In all, Payne’s efforts led to the volunteer group being able to cover three nights at the hotel for at least 80 people. #candicepayne #Chicago #polarvortex https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZtFE8FCvs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zwiu49kxaag2

With dangerously cold weather sweeping across the nation, one #Chicago woman decided to take action. ______________ #CandicePayne impulsively charged 20 hotel rooms on her credit card to house the homeless after realizing how life-threatening the sub-zero temperatures would be for them, according to @cbsnews. Her good deed snowballed when she posted about it on social media, which is when the donations and offers to bring food began to pour in. ______________ "Maybe they didn't know how to or where to start to help, so I'm glad that I was able to be that vehicle," Payne told #CBSChicago. _________ She acted fast on Wednesday, when temperatures plummeted to 22 degrees below zero! A group of homeless people had to abandon their tents near a highway after a propane tank they used as a source of heat exploded. Payne and other volunteers dug deep into their pockets to pay for 60 rooms-read more at TheShadeRoom.com! 📸: @candicepayne_ @gettyimages - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BtYayMlg1n2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m0lhme6lao4s
