Sometimes the internet takes a break from being on Interracial | Adult Movies Onlinefire and churns out something good. This week, a woman was able to thank the man who gave her a bike when she was a five-year-old refugee, with the help of Twitter's supreme tracking abilities.
As Saddam Hussein began targeting Kurdish communities in the 1990s, Mevan Babakar and her family fled Iraq and moved to Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, and eventually to a city called Zwolle in the Netherlands. Babakar and her mother later settled down in London.
During her stay in Zwolle, a kind man who worked at a refugee camp gifted her a bike "out of the kindness of his own heart."
"My five year old heart exploded with joy," the now 29-year-old said in a viral tweet on Monday. "I just want to know his name. Help?"

She sent the tweet while retracing the steps her family took when they were refugees to better understand herself and where she came from. Arjen van der Zee, a volunteer at a local news site in the city, saw her message and recognized the man as someone he had worked with in his early twenties. He told the New York Timesthat he remembered Egbert, who asked to not share his last time, as a "very generous kind, soft, warm man.” He then took to Facebook to try and find him for Babakar.
Days before returning to London, Babakar and Egbert were reunited. Remembering how much of an impact Egbert's gift made on her life, she told the Times, "I remember feeling so special. I remember thinking that this is such a big thing to receive, am I even worthy of this big thing?"
"This feeling kind of became the basis of my self-worth growing up."
Other refugees told Babakar through Twitter that they remembered Egbert and his wife helping them, too.

“It was like seeing a family member that you hadn’t seen in a long time. It was really lovely," Babakar said.
As van der Zee noted, Egbert was surprised that his "small" gift of a bike had such an impact on a young Babakar. But he said Egbert's "small gesture made her a person again," instead of a child who had to flee her home. Babakar hopes her mother can one day meet Egbert as well.
Twitter users responded to the heartwarming story.

“I think it’s really easy for people to forget or to feel really powerless in the face of these big, abstract problems that we hear about all the time,” she told the Times. “It’s really a comfort to remember we are all very powerful in the way that we treat others. Especially in the small acts, we are powerful.”
