  • After being abandoned by his mother and suffering abuse in the foster system, Malachi Coleman and his sister were adopted by a loving family, but so much damage had been done, Malachi found it difficult to be kind to others, until the simple act of holding a door open sparked a passion for selflessness. Correspondent Steve Hartman reports.

    His mother abandoning him on the side of the road made him feel useless and worthless. Opening doors for people and hearing “Thank You” made him regain a sense of purpose.

    That mom persisted, and finally turned his life around. Great he followed through and is better and kinder for it.

    People who are abusive should never be foster parents. Kudos to that family that adopted him and his sister.

    Imagine how much despair a woman must be in to leave her two babies abandoned on the sidewalk?😭😭 So glad Malachi and his sister are flourishing with a loving family and with a purpose in life, born out of the trauma he experienced so young ❤️😭🥺

    Kindness is not a zero-sum game. Malachi learned this earlier than most. Congratulations to him and his family.

    It doesn’t cost a penny to be kind to anybody, but it is a shame that not many people in this world, can either answer, or give back in the ways that you expect them to.

    This story inspires me, the part about him realizing he could open 1 door & then another. We can all do that when we are feeling unwilling to be kind.
    What a poor child to be left like that & then to transform his pain this way. Xoxo

      Are you kidding right now with this comment? You couldn't seriously actually mean what it sounds like you're saying. What a negative mindset, feel sorry for you & those in your life.
