Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Went to the grocery store today, and saw a very young couple holding a sign:

"Please Help. Don't need rent money, just food for our family."

So, I ask what I can buy for them. The young woman spoke in a strong accent I didn't recognize, "Sandwich, please."

I asked if she wanted fruit and what kind of sandwich. Through hand gestures she asked if she could come with me.

So, she accompanied me into the store. I bought her tomatoes and a chicken breast sandwich.

She started speaking to me in Spanish and I learned that the two were Yugoslavian, and she knew some Spanish/Portuguese/Italian. Her Spanish was better than her English, and my Spanish was better than my Yugoslavian.

I finished my shopping and delivered the tomatoes and sandwich to the couple who had been collecting other grocery items that I would guess were donated.

They thanked me and said "God bless you."

I don't always do this, but this reminds me that I should more often.
