Kind Stranger’s Generosity Brings Comfort to Struggling Mother

Melissa Simms from Pell City, Alabama, faced a challenging day, financially burdened and stressed. Attending a doctor’s appointment with her son, she realized she couldn’t cover the co-pay. Their last $10 went to gas for her husband’s work and the doctor’s visit. In a waiting room, a compassionate stranger approached Simms’s son, handing him an envelope for his mother.

Inside was a note expressing empathy, “I’ve had days like you’re having today. Hang in there.” The envelope contained a surprise—a $100 bill. The note referenced Joshua 1:9, encouraging strength and courage. Overwhelmed, Simms broke into tears, feeling an immediate sense of peace.

The generous gift allowed her to pay the co-pay and buy dinner for her family. Simms shared her story on Facebook, hoping to find and thank the anonymous benefactor. She expressed a desire to pay it forward, acknowledging the immense kindness received.

Social media responses echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the beauty of people helping each other, illustrating the true spirit of compassion in challenging times.
