Kindness of stranger at Walmart takes edge off tough week

Published: September 19, 2012 

On the way home from seeing my Dad at the hospital today, Mom and I had to stop at Walmart. It was crazy in there! Anyway we get to the checkout line, and the computer is messing up and won't let the card go through credit or debit it just kept rejecting it all, it was getting really frustrating. Neither one of us had enough cash on us to pay for it, then the guy behind us steps up and says "Here let me get it."

He wouldn't take no for an answer and he would not give us info so we could send him the money. He just said "Have a nice day." $112.00 worth of stuff paid for by a complete stranger. It was a totally awesome, completely humbling experience. Yes, we both had tears in our eyes as we walked out the door.

Sir, I hope you read this and know how very much it was appreciated. Truly a bright spot in a very dark week. Thank you!
