I bought groceries for a woman that I work with. Her husband had lost his job, unemployment had been denied, they'd already been to the food bank and there is a limit on how often you can go. She and I make peanuts, so her paycheck wasn't much help.

I took my 11 year old with me and he whined and complained a lot at first. As I talked to him about their situation he got a little more enthusiastic. Then he got the job of ringing the doorbell and running like heck after we'd snuck the groceries onto the porch.

As we were driving away he said, "I actually feel a little warm inside." So, it was good all around, and I found out yesterday the husband has a new job.

Great story. Your child learned a lesson he’ll never forget and the family got some much needed help.
