Today my mom woke up at 5 a.m. and drove to Lasalle to care for a friends children who's baby brother is hospitalized. She got one ready for school and brought the other one home. She baked cookies and played with the little girl and myself. Then she made supper for the family so the mom didn't have to. This is my mom, giving all the time and helping everyone. My mom does everything for me. I am almost 18 in August and I have Cerebral Palsy and I'm a wheelchair bound. After 11 years of applying and trying my mother got a letter in the mail from a Charity saying that she is being 'gifted a wheelchair van' today! We were so happy we both cried a lot. My mom helps me do my banking and I got a brand new card today that does tap. I wanted to try it but I couldn't get into the store so I waited outside with my dog Sam. My mom lined up with Milk and chocolate bars and an iced tea. She tapped my card and it didn't work. She saw someone talking to me and came outside to verify my card number and tell the lady who was talking to me that I can't speak. I can hear. YOU paid for my stuff. YOU, who doesn't know this was one of the best days of my life. One of the days I find out that I can go anywhere with my mom now where I could never before without huge expense and often painful for my mom to lift me. YOU have no idea, that on top of the best day that could not have got better, proved that it did. My mom and I cried and giggled all the way home for your generosity and kindness. It is truly something else when a total stranger does something like this random act of kindness. I don't think it was because you felt sorry for me, I think you are just a nice guy. I know my mom thinks you thought we didn't have the money, we do, it's just the new card is wonky so she is embarrassed for sure. However, we are both very very grateful and God bless you for doing such a wonderful thing on our best day ever! I hope you know that tomorrow morning mom and I are going to pay it forward - it's contagious and you and your partner are good people. Thank you Thank you Thank you. & lt;3
