Woman promises to “pay it forward” after act of kindness in grocery store

On Wednesday, October 1 at approximately 6 p.m., I shopped at our local No Frills store. 

After scanning my groceries through, I discovered I had neither cash nor bank cards in my purse. Immediately a young woman, who was next in line, paid for my groceries. 

I did not know her; she did not know me. She rejected my efforts to repay her. She said she was glad to be in a position to help someone in need. 

Your act of kindness will stay with me forever. You made me proud of Amherstburg and gave my day a very happy ending. 

My promise to you is that I will “pay it forward.” 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
