January 30, 2023

A fast food employee had her day made by a complete stranger.

She was working the drive-thru window at her local McDonald's when a stranger handed her an envelope.

Inside the envelope was a letter and a 100 dollar bill.

The Good Samaritan said in the letter that he was led to her.

"Considering a few nights ago I was having bad thoughts this really made me happy aside from the money, the words mean more than anything," the woman said.

She posted a photo of the letter and cash to Reddit. The post has received more than 22,000 likes.

"It's wild how this made it to this person that really needed it and the words too," one user commented.

"Hey I quit heroin," another user commented. "Anytime I ever get the idea heroin might be fun again I take 100 bucks and find someone I think could use it. I've done this exactly 3 times in the past 2 years but it helps me realize there are much better things I could do with my money. Glad someone helped you out though, remember there are still good people out there."
