When 78-year-old Margaret lined up at Coles to pay for her groceries, she never expected a stranger’s kindness to turn her day around.
As she reached the checkout, she fumbled with her phone, trying to transfer funds.
“She couldn’t get service or her phone to work to cover her bill,” her granddaughter later explained.
Margaret then stepped aside to try again.
Moments later, a Coles employee approached her with surprising news.
A kind gentleman behind her in line had paid for her items.
In disbelief and gratitude, Margaret looked around, but the young man was gone.
She had no chance to thank him, but his generosity stayed with her. His quiet generosity not only lifted the burden in that moment but also sparked a ripple effect, inspiring Margaret to carry the goodwill forward.
“A big thank you from her,” her family later shared.
“She is determined to pay it forward.”
Margaret left the store with more than just her groceries - she carried a renewed faith in the kindness of strangers, already thinking of how she could do the same for others.
“You have a beautiful heart…I hope good karma comes your way.”
