Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Ticket Home


--by kperrine, posted Jul 8, 2016
After returning to work after a few days of vacation I met a young student sobbing outside on the benches. She was alone and crying. She had been there for only a few days and didn't have any bus money for her ticket home and no one to come pick her up. She had to go to the New Jersey Shore area. I felt for her as in my youth, I spent money having fun and not really thinking about getting home. She came to the University hoping for some help.

She came to the right place! 

We looked up the bus fare amount for her destination and I bought her a ticket home.

There will be one happy young woman arriving home later on this afternoon, and one happy set of parents.

Was it just the price of a ticket? Absolutely not, it was universal bliss helping her!
