22 people were killed and more than 50 were injured when the bomb went off outside an arena in Manchester, England, as people were leaving an Ariana Grande concert.
This tragedy is heart breaking but the out pouring of love by local residents brings our hope for humanity back.
There have been reports of locals opening their homes to people who need everything from a place to stay to just a cup of tea. They’ve also been helping reunite parents with their kids through Twitter. Taxis have also been offering free rides to those in need.
