It's one of those "restoring your faith in humanity stories" that should be taken regularly, like vitamins that keep you sane and happy: anonymous saviors. According to DNAinfo.com, a 25-year-old mother of three named Cassandra has put up posters in New York City subway stations that say, "Attention Great Brooklynites: Were you here last Friday afternoon on the Q train to Brooklyn? Were you one of the kind people that helped me on the train or helped me get to the hospital from the train???? If so, I am looking for you and am very interested in getting in touch with you!!!”

This is because Cassandra found herself suffering a debilitating asthma attack that quickly escalated to something more, a mystery illness that caused her to feel faint, have difficulty breathing and then controlling her muscles, and finally to lose consciousness. But in a completely "wow"-inducing sequence (which she has pieced together from what others have told her), a man carried her off the train and then proceeded to, along with a cast of other good Samaritans, transport her to the hospital. Read the article for the responses Cassandra has gotten from her poster—though she still has not found the man who carried her to safety.
