Story 1:

At 20, I was a single mother struggling to make ends meet. My family had abandoned me, and I was working at a nail salon to survive.
One day, this lady, a first-time client, forgot her Chanel bag. I put it in the lost & found.

2 weeks passed, and she didn’t return. My boss asked, “Do you want that bag?” I eagerly opened it, but there was nothing inside but a crumpled paper with 2 words: For you.
I didn’t understand but took the bag with me anyway. Then, I unzipped the inner pocket and was shocked to find $700 inside. It was the biggest blessing that came at a time when I needed it the most.

A year later, I discovered that this lady was not a random client who forgot her bag. The bag was actually a way to help me. The woman was a friend of my boss, who had orchestrated the whole thing. My boss knew I was struggling and too proud to ask for help, so she found a way to give me the money anonymously. Her kindness saved me during the hardest time of my life.

Now, 8 years later, I no longer work there, but I still think about her generosity. On tough days, it reminds me that there is still good in the world.
