Flying is expensive, but it is sometimes the best way to get back to see family or take another important trip.

Sometimes, you book your flight thinking that it will go smoothly, but then something happens. Every once in a while, a stranger can step in to help, which is what happened in this story.

The story is told on a TikTok account, which says, “Someone just paid nearly $750 for a stranger’s toddler’s ticket, and now we finally know who this kind soul is.”

Wow, that is very generous.

The story goes on, “She is Debbie Bolton, co-founder and CFO of cleaning company NORWAX, which frequently serves family clients.”

She sounds like a saint.

The father had assumed that his two-year-old daughter could sit on his lap for free, which would have made his budget work. But staff informed him he needed to purchase a separate seat for his daughter, costing $749.”

Ouch, this would be a terrible situation.

The story went on, “When the father said he couldn’t pay, Debbie, standing behind him immediately stepped in.”

You don’t see kindness like that every day.

The story ends, “She handed over her business card, offered to cover the cost, and insisted that the girl travel with her father.”

That is so generous. She really went out of her way to help this man in a difficult situation.

Not everyone can do something like this, but everyone can do something to help others.
