A Story of Kindness to Restore Some Faith in Humanity!

I am a teacher assistant at a public high school.

I work with the “adaptive class,” which are the kids with Down Syndrome or severe autism.

This is my first year working in this class.

This woman went on a field trip with her adaptive class.

They always go to a hibachi restaurant for “Thanksgiving” as a class.

We were using discounts and stuff.

Students were also bringing in their own money for the field trip.

We went to pay.

Some random customer paid for all of the kids’ meals.

“Santa” already took care of the bill.

The manager said a random customer covered us.

I and the other teachers were all about to cry.

Amidst all the turmoil, division, and craziness in the country, this was an amazing experience.

They have to idea who paid, but they were all very thankful.

These kids are some of the absolute sweetest. They deserve all this and more.

I’m so glad that there are people who still do this.

They didn’t come talk to us or anything. We have absolutely no idea who paid.

They did it just out of the kindness of their hearts.

Let’s read the responses of other people on this story.
