This woman truly deserves recognition.
A man was checking in for his flight when the agent asked how old his daughter was. He told her that his daughter had just turned two. The agent then asked if she had her own ticket. The man seemed confused, thinking she could fly for free. He had booked the ticket when his daughter was still one, but her birthday was in January. He seemed really upset when he realized the mistake, and mentioned he couldn’t afford to buy her a ticket or change the flight at the last minute. You could see how heartbroken he was as he stepped aside, trying to make some calls, while hugging his daughter and holding his head in his hands.
A woman standing nearby at the counter overheard everything. She walked up to the man and asked what was wrong. After talking for a little while, they walked back to the counter together.
She pointed to the man’s daughter and said, “I want to buy her ticket.”
The agent asked if she knew how much the ticket would cost. The woman replied, “$700 something?”
The agent confirmed, “$749.”
Without hesitation, the woman said, “That’s fine,” and pulled out her credit card. I was right there, so I told her, “God bless you!” as they printed out the ticket. The agent talked about how she had goosebumps. The man hugged the woman and asked how he could repay her. The woman simply said, “Don’t worry about it.” She just wanted to help him and his daughter, no matter what it cost.
This is a story that deserves to be shared because people like her should be recognized.
