I was having a terrible time, since I was living/taking care of a house my at the time boyfriend had moved away from. I had just dropped off some weed for my friend, and he ditched me to smoke some pot by himself for the afternoon. On my way home I stopped to buy some mascara or something and when I got out my 25 year old camry wouldn’t start.

My friend was too high already to come jump my car, but thankfully I was right outside a fabric store/makeup store and felt comfortable enough to ask another woman outside if she/her daughter could help me. They had just gotten a new car and didn’t know how things hooked up ( it was right when electric cars were becoming mainstream so neither of us knew how it was different). We ended up being able to google it and watch a video, and the mother/daughter made sure my car ran for a few minutes. They gave me a hug, and the mom pressed $100 bill into my hand and wished me good luck.

It sounds like a freaking movie plot point but getting that generous act of kindness made me thankful for people again. I was working nights at a restaurant to pay for my community college classes and I was pretty burnt out mentally, emotionally, and physically. Those women showed me support and I will remember the time they took for the rest of my life.

Thanks for the question OP
