While having small children is a blessing, it can also be tiring. And this is especially true if you have to balance their well-being and care with the rest of your life: going to work, shopping, cleaning the house, etc. Obviously, it is not impossible thig to balance and deal with these conflicting demands, quite the contrary. All parents have to deal with this lifestyle, especially in the early days when their kids are the most demanding. Being frequently stressed, then, it is easy to become distracted and to forget even the most important of things.

Danielle Vinson was at the supermarket checkout with her youngest son and a cart full of groceries. When it came time to pay, however, the young mother was highly embarrassed when she realized that she did not have her wallet on her. Fortunately, in the line behind her, was a lady with a big heart.

When you are queuing to pay at the supermarket checkout, you are probably already stressed - especially if you are on your own. You need to bag all the products you purchased, trying to hurry so as not to make everyone else wait for you and, of course, pay and get out quickly. And your stress levels will go through the roof if you suddenly realize you have forgotten your wallet! Danielle was totally distraught when she made this unfortunate discovery at the checkout with her cart full of products. She immediately tried to contact her husband, to get him to quickly bring her her wallet. Before she could even finish the phone call, however, a stranger who was waiting behind Danielle, told her not to worry and to continue bagging everything she wanted to buy. The stranger said she would take care of everything. Danielle shook her head and replied that the bill would be too high and couldn't accept the stranger's offer. The stranger, however, insisted, telling Danielle that this was something she wanted to do from her heart and in keeping with the spirit of the approaching Christmas holidays.

And there you have it - a perfect stranger paid a whopping $ 178.86 for her shopping!

Danielle thanked the stranger and asked for an address so that she could return the money - but the stranger refused. She explained that money was a "gift" and, as Christmas was approaching, what better time was there to do a good deed?

Danielle cried with happiness: she had never before come across such a generous person in her life! "These are the things you only read about - you can't imagine that it could become part of YOUR life," said the young mom. "The world is so crazy and unfriendly - it is important to be in tune with in your community and spread kindness ... a small gesture can move mountains in someone's life" Danielle reiterated, and we can only agree with her.
