Thankful for random act of kindness

A few weeks ago, I was struggling to carry a heavy tray between my car and a house, having trouble getting up a step. Weather wasn’t cooperating either with snow on the ground slowing me down even more.

A van went by, saw my problem, stopped and a young lady hopped out and said, “May I help you?” She took my tray, got it to the house front door and started to leave — said “anything else” and she got another big bag from the car for me, got it to the house and was gone.

I don’t know who she was but want her to know how much I appreciated her kind help and how good she made me feel.
