It sometimes feels like kindness is in short supply these days, but lots of people think of others. Even strangers!

See what this McDonald’s customer did for someone she met.

Less than twenty cents to shine a light on my whole day

The McDonald’s near me has been running a deal for a while now, where you can get two sausages, egg and cheese McMuffins for $5. When just one of them is like, $4.89?

She was sold on this deal.

Though I don’t need two, I can’t bring myself to pass that deal up.

Usually I’ll hand the second one to a coworker, but last week I was leaving the parking lot and a ragged and dirty gentleman (ragged and dirty bc can’t change clothes and can’t wash, not because it’s his choice) was on the sidewalk.

So she did a very good deed.

Honestly I noticed him more because he looked tired and beat down, than anything else. I pulled up and asked him if he wanted a hot breakfast.

He lit up. Like a ray of sunshine caught him, lit up.

Made my day.

Here is what folks are saying.

I hope this wasn’t the motivation.

Hot meals are so important.

I hope that man has a better life now.
