Great kid. He was raised right.
Good job, Mom!!

Love it. One time many years ago, I had to borrow some cash to get out of airport parking lot (long story) and a man was nice enough to give it to me. I got his business card, and later mailed twice as much money back as he had given me, along with a thank you note. I'll bet he wasn't expecting it.

Good for him

You raised him right. Thanks for adding another good "hooman" to the planet.

Thank you for sharing. I felt so certain it would turn out badly. I can't tell you how much it warms my heart. ?

Most people will treat you as they would like to be treated. There are just some ass holes who mess it up for the rest of us.

Sounds like you did a good job raising your son. Hats off to the both of you, and to the lady also.

Yup he gets and extra tight Mom hug for that one. That is awesome.

Well done - on both sides !

(((( hugs ))))

Wonderful story

Your story came at a time when I just thought the whole world is going to shit...amazing how one wonderful person doing the right thing without thought of any return can give a person hope and confidence that things will be better one person at a time...I also think the woman who sent the check is wonderful...and of course, you the mom, who raised this great kid...teary eyed and hopeful today...thanks for sharing.

I am so happy I found this site . I am reading this in my car , at 0200 at hospital parking lot . I couldn't ask for better motivation to get back in and smile at sick , needy , and often ugly people . Bravo to u , bravo to your son , and thank u very much for sharing . ♥️♥️♥️

@AmiSue, thanks for sharing this. In times like these we can all use a little good news.

BTW, great job raising that young man.

Pay it forward. What a wonderful citizen you are raising.

Pays off to do the right thing and when it doesn't its not event relevant because you know you did the right thing and that's priceless

As a woman, my first thought was thank goodness he didn't get mugged/raped. Sad I have to think that way.

Kudos to your son though and I'm SO GLAD he was rewarded for his good deed.

That is awesome!

So true...

I has been said that it takes a thousand attaboys/girls to neutralize one bad boy/girl. With so many media stories that are sad, heartbreaking, and shocking. We could use many more stories like this.

Thank you for this story.

You have raised a great son. He did what he felt was right regardless of the possibility of reward. I don't think you could ask for anything better. Congratulations to both of you.

good story. I thought it was going to end with a chihuahua in the mix

I'm glad he was in a position to help her out. I am even more glad that his kindness and generosity wasn't taken advantage of. So sad to see a warm loving spirit become cold and jaded b/c of the users and manipulators of this world.

What a wonderful human being you have raised. Kudos to you both.
