Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Just One Hand


--by alyssa, posted Mar 17, 2008

All it takes is one hand to change the world.

Three days ago, at Wal-Mart, I saw a mother holding a sleeping baby girl, she was alone and trying to get all of her groceries and things onto the sliding thing.

I noticed that it looked kind of difficult with only one hand and an entire cart!  So I peeked over and asked if she needed any help. She paused for a moment and smiled, and said, "Yes,  she's very tired."

So I grabbed her things and put them on the sliding thing. It really wasn't much but it felt good and I'm glad that I did it.
