Jenni Ware was stranded at the grocery checkout having lost her wallet. Carolee Hazard, a complete stranger, paid her $207 bill. When Jenni paid her back, the check included an extra $93 as thanks - she suggested getting a massage. Carolee posted on Facebook about the events and asked friend what they'd do with the extra money. "Give it to charity!" was the response. Touched by Jenni's honesty, Carolee matched the $93 and queried her Facebook friends where to donate the $186. Inspired by the back and forth kindness, friends began donating $93 of their own and the total quickly grew! This random act of kindness and Facebook turned $93 into over $56,000 to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley - and the amount is still growing. In the 4 months since this chance meeting, the "pay it forward" example has traveled around the world and continues to move people to start their own ripples of goodness!
This is all that is right with the world
