Your story brought tears to my eyes! Bless you for believing in that woman in her time of need. You truly changed two lives.
Here's my story: I was sitting in my car, waiting for my take out chicken dinner. Next door there was a modest, poorly maintained house. On the porch, an older woman was putting cat food in a dish, with several cats circling the bowl around her ankles.
I mentioned to the employee that I saw she fed the stray cats, who were drawn to the area by the chicken smells. The employee expressed her concern for the neighbor, saying they took excess food over to her so she could eat, as she spent her grocery money on feeding the stray cats.
I drove to the grocery store across the street, bought some cans of cat food, some fresh fruit and cookies for a little treat, and took the bag back to the restaurant. I wrote on the bag "from a fellow cat lover", and asked the employee to deliver it to the woman so she wouldn't see me or be embarrassed.
I have practiced random acts of kindness and pay it forward for years. I love the movie, and always cry, no matter how many times I watch it.
