After my son’s school play, all the parents pitched in $50 each to set up a sweet table for the kids. Once everything was ready, we started inviting the kids to come over and enjoy.
That’s when I noticed one little girl putting on her coat, getting ready to leave with her older brother who had brought her. I asked, “Hey, where are you going?”
She looked down and said softly, “We didn’t pay. Mom’s looking for a job right now, so we’re saving money.”
My heart sank. Without a second thought, I brought them both to the table and sat them down. If you could’ve seen how they ate that cake and drank the juice… like it was the best thing they’d ever had. They didn’t leave a crumb behind.
Later, I found their mom. After talking to her, I offered her a job at my café. She’s been working so hard ever since, and I truly hope things turn around for their family.
Sometimes, the smallest gestures can mean the world. Let’s be kind to one another—you never know what someone might be going through. 💕🍰
