I dream of the day when this sort of thinking and behaviour are considered the norm in this country. We've become a nation of selfish toxicity that constantly punches down on others especially those who are poor. Of course this has been the standard since day 1 of the very founding of this country, we've never reached the levels where we are now.

This made my day. I really wish to thank you and I hope many more will do the same thing that you did in this situation. Random acts of kindness are rare these days. We should focus on changing that
