Shane Jones is no ordinary teenager from a small town in Rhode Island, he is incredible.

His interest started out as a fun treasure hunt to make some extra summer cash last year, but has turned into the most gracious act of kindness I've seen in months.

When storage lockers' fees go unpaid, they go to auction. All of that "stuff" in there, gone from the owner's life forever. When Shane started going through his first auction win, his excitement turned to purpose ... after finding handwritten letters & other life mementos.

He's now purchased 4 lockers, found all of the owners and their families ... and the mission continues!

His mom Sarah told People, "Kindness inspires kindness. Buying the contents of a storage unit and giving them back is a creative way to pay it forward. Shane hopes that somebody else will get the idea to do the same thing in their own town."

We agree!
