“My 18 year old son was working at Tractor Supply one evening when a gentleman came in just before closing to buy pet food. There was a line at the register and when the man attempted to pay, his card was declined. He asked to try again. Declined. My son, seeing the disappointment and embarrassment on this gentleman’s face, very nonchalantly slid his own debit card out of his wallet and paid for the man’s order without saying a word. When the man thanked him, my son nodded and smiled. He was happy to be able to help this stranger.
A couple days later, the man came back in the store and found my son. He thanked him again and paid him back. My son wasn’t expecting the money back, so he donated it to the American Cancer Society in memory of his great uncle who recently passed.
In today’s world, I take nothing for granted. I am amazed and impressed at my son’s willingness to help others in their time of need.”
