When I stepped in to help a stranger at the grocery store, I never imagined that a simple moment of kindness — something I expected nothing from except maybe a grateful smile — would slowly unravel the life I thought I’d resigned myself to, and quietly open the door to a second chance I never saw coming.
Two days before payday, with only $27 left in my account and a toddler glued to my hip, I found myself standing in line at the grocery store, silently bargaining with the universe for just a sliver of mercy.Just five more minutes of calm, I begged inwardly. No tantrums, no surprises.
