Stressed About Money, Woke Up To A Gift

By ella johannessen • January 30, 2018

I was on the Virgin east coast train from London (King's Cross to Leeds), on the 27th of January—I got on at Peterborough. I found a seat, and rang my mum. I was rather stressed and upset over my financial situation, and was trying to locate what had happend to £35 that had been sent to me over a bank transfer. I spoke to her about how little money I had, how worried I was about my finances and I got upset. After speaking to my mum I hung up the phone and went to sleep. I woke up about a half hour later, and noticed a napkin on my lap. Under the napkin was £100. I started to cry... This was because I was incredibly thankful for your kindness—to someone you don't even know! After a terrible 18 months, where I lost my father and both of his parents, it showed me that there is kindness; there are good people in the world. I will pass your kindness on. I want to say, 'Thank you' to the person who gave me this gift; I hope you will eventually see this.
