Woman Buys Old Jacket at Thrift Shop and Finds Note in Pocket Pleading, ‘Help My Grandkids’ — Story of the Day

When Megan returned home from buying a jacket at the thrift shop, she discovered a note with an address and the words, “Help my grandkids.” Unable to forget the note, she decided to go to the address and couldn’t believe what she found.

A little girl answered the door, and Megan soon found herself in a messy house with three kids and their sick grandmother, Erica, who explained, “I made a huge effort yesterday to reach the shop, sell it, and buy something for my grandkids to eat. But I was afraid that my disease would progress, so I wrote the note, hoping that someone would see it and help.”

Megan asked, “Couldn’t you call any family to help out?” Erica replied, “We don’t have anyone else, and I’ve had to spend my pension on medication.”

Understanding Erica’s plight, Megan reassured her, “It’s going to be alright. You’re going to rest and get better.” She then cleaned the house with the kids and ordered pizza, feeling great about helping a stranger’s family.

Returning daily, Megan watched Erica recover. Erica, grateful, said, “You’re a saint. You helped us although it really wasn’t your responsibility.” Megan replied, “Sometimes, we all just need a little help. And next time, you can call me anytime.”

They became close friends, and Megan always shared this story to show the impact of a simple act of kindness.
