Stories of Kindness from Around the World

My Secret Sister


--by lauraestel, posted Feb 6, 2012

A young boy at church touched my heart by his kindness, his caring and always wanting to help.  So, I asked his mom if I could be his second mom. She smiled, said yes and thanked me.  

After church service I approached her and told her to let me know what he needed for school and I would buy it. I gave her my phone number and we have since become friends by sharing things about ourselves and our families.  
 
At this point, I'm adopting the mom as my "secret sister" to be able to leave her things to see a smile on her face because she struggles everyday just to survive and make a life for her and her son.
