   John Goodlett hasn’t even completed a full week of work at Enterprise Rent-A-Car and already he’s getting national attention for being an exemplary employee, just for lending a helping hand. 
   
   A photo of him carrying one of a customer’s twin infants as he processed her rental car is winning over the internet, after the mother posted the picture on her Facebook page. 
   
   Coty Vincent / Facebook A photo of John Goodlett is going viral after the Enterprise employee held one of Coty Vincent's twin babies to help out the boy's mother. 
   
   It started last week when Goodlett, 25, went to pick up Coty Vincent from her Tulsa, Oklahoma, home and brought her back to the Enterprise office. She had brought car seats for each of her 11-month-old boys, but didn’t have a stroller that could hold both of them, so she asked Goodlett for help.

   “He grabbed one of the boys out of his car seat and I grabbed the other and we went inside,” she told TODAY. 
   
   Vincent, 25, expected Goodlett to hand off her son “and let me fend for myself” with the boys. Instead, Goodlett headed straight for the counter and began processing her order. 
   
   “So I kind of moseyed on over to where he was working, playing with one son while he had the other one. He was working away, holding him like a champ, like he’s done it his whole life,” Vincent said. “I can’t even multitask that good.” 
   
   The small gesture moved Vincent, who snapped a photo of Goodlett, typing on the computer with one hand while holding her son with the other. She posted the picture to Facebook that evening.

   “While he helped me with my rental due to a hit and run accident, he held one of my twin sons as I don't have a double stroller,” she wrote in the caption. “One of the most compassionate and caring people I've ever met. We need more people like John who go that extra step. Be a John. #BeAJohn”

   She shared the post with some of her Twin Mom groups, where members encouraged her to make the post public. Once she did, the post got picked up and went viral on various Facebook pages. On her own page, the post received more than 224,800 reactions and 24,600 shares. 
   
   Goodlett said he was surprised by the attention, and by why people have made such a big deal about something that should come naturally to others.

   “I’m still blown away. It just makes you wonder: What did I do so special? This was something that’s part of my instinctual way to do. It’s kind of shocking to see the world took it as such a big motion,” he told TODAY. “But I hope it helps get the message out that this is the way people are supposed to treat each other every day. We could all help each other and be a little friendlier.”

   Goodlett noted he has something in common with Vincent: He's a twin himself. He lives with a sister, and jokes about their “love-hate relationship.” 
   
   “Just like any sibling, one moment we got each other’s back, one moment we’re yelling at each other’s throats,” he said. “But it’s a real thing. It’s a natural love and it’s deep.”

   Marlyn Jones, the Enterprise branch manager where Goodlett works, said his new employee has jumped into his job without hesitation and that even colleagues have noted his performance. Although he wasn’t in the office the afternoon Vincent came in, Jones said other employees told him what had happened. 
   
   “They were like, ‘Man, John was holding a baby. John went above and beyond. He went the extra mile,’” he said.

   Enterprise’s corporate office offered to reward Goodlett with a gift card for his service. Instead, he chose to donate the funds to his favorite charity, a local Boys & Girls Club run by the Salvation Army. The organization will receive scholarship money and new sports equipment, Jones said. 
   
   Vincent also heard from Enterprise’s corporate office, which ordered her a double stroller that will finally allow the single mom to leave the house without needing an extra set of hands to help. 
   
   But Vincent is just as excited that her post about "a simple act of kindness" has touched so many hearts around the world. 
   
   “There are a lot of great Americans in this country and that’s what we really need to see, because people are getting depressed and hearts are getting so heavy from everything going on right now,” she said. 
   
   “It’s up to us to turn this around. So many have forgotten we are humans and we do kind things and we do treat with each other with respect, and smile and hold doors open and do these little things. I want to remind people they can be kind to one another." ||||| Story highlights A mom of twins got a helping hand while renting a car

   (CNN) A simple gesture of kindness is earning an Enterprise Rent-A-Car employee in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a lot of love online. 
   
   The employee, John Goodlett, was helping Coty Vincent, a mom of twin boys, rent a car last week after hers was damaged in a hit-and-run accident. 
   
   Vincent literally had both hands full with the boys, so Goodlett just picked one of them up while he continued to help Vincent get a rental vehicle. 
   
   A picture of Goodlett holding the toddler went viral on Facebook and has been shared almost 25,000 times. 
   
   In the post, Vincent said Goodlett knows a thing or two about twins.

target: – Coty Vincent's car was smashed last week after a hit-and-run accident, so she lugged her twin boys to a rental car company, CNN reports. But the Oklahoma mom didn't find only a vehicle at Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Tulsa: She also found a young man she says is "one of the most compassionate and caring people I've ever met," per her Facebook post. She tells Today that the car company sent 25-year-old employee John Goodlett to her home to pick up her and the 11-month-old babies and bring them to the office. She didn't have a double stroller, so she asked Goodlett to carry one of her sons in—and once inside, Vincent figured he'd hand the baby back to her and "let me fend for myself." Instead, he held onto his young charge and started working on her order on the computer. Vincent was so touched that she took a photo of him holding the baby and posted it online, where the image quickly went viral (it's got more than 25,000 shares on her Facebook page). There's a reason Goodlett may have felt a special kinship with the little ones: He has a twin sister. "Just like any sibling, one moment we got each other's back, one moment we're yelling at each other's throats," he tells Today. "But … it's a natural love." Vincent, meanwhile, has started a #BeAJohn hashtag, noting, "This world would be a better place if we all would just be a John." Enterprise is doing its part: After getting wind of Goodlett's interaction with Vincent, it bought the mom a double stroller and made a donation to the Boys & Girls Club where Goodlett spent time when he was a kid (he turned down a gift card for himself). "I'm still blown away," he tells Today. "It's kind of shocking to see the world took it as such a big motion. I hope it helps get the message out that this is the way people are supposed to treat each other every day." (This mom has her hands full.)
