Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Finding a Way to Help


--by SOTProject, posted Nov 9, 2018
It seems even when I am sick and don't get to do much I still have opportunities for kindness. Today  my mom  and I went grocery shopping. We got through it all and it was about $260 (she buys all of her groceries for the whole month on the 1st when she gets her benefits).

Well, unbeknownst to her the state decided to change her benefit date to the 15th so she couldn't pay for any of it. She came home and I took her back to the grocery store and helped her pay for it all. It means I will probably have to pawn something to pay some of my own expenses but I couldn't let her go hungry for two weeks. I feel good about the decision. Kindness opportunities are everywhere!
