Thankful for stranger’s kindness

On Sunday, I was driving with my brothers when I noticed that the gas light was on in my car. I stopped at the UniMart on West College Avenue, but we realized that all we had for gas was spare change. We were about to pay for gas with $5 worth of quarters and dimes, but a kind stranger put down $20 so we could fill up the tank. To this man, thank you for helping us, and for inspiring us to do the same for someone else one day.

Hannah Oleynik, Port Matilda
