My wife and I were standing in line to get a prescription filled for
our baby. We didn’t notice anyone around us. When our prescription was
filled, the amount we owed was $40. I really struggled. That $40 was to
be spent for baby food and other items. Reluctantly, I handed the $40
over to the pharmacist not knowing where the food money was going to
come from. But as we were leaving, I felt this tap on my shoulder. A
lady said, “Here, take this.” She was handing me two $20 bills. I
asked, “What’s this for?” All she said was, “It’s for you. Some day
you’ll be able to help someone in need.” She left and I’ve never seen
her again, but I’ll never forget what she said, “Someday you will be
able to help someone in need.” Every time I see someone in need, I
think of that lady and do what I can to help.
