Boy Gives up His Seat for Old Lady on Bus, She Makes His Mom a Millionaire in Return — Story of the Day

On a crowded bus, 73-year-old Barbara struggled without a seat until a kind boy, David, offered his. Grateful, Barbara met his mother, Kristen, a single mom of five adopted children, whose youngest, Kevin, was battling a life-threatening illness. Touched by their story, Barbara, who had lost her own child years ago, felt a deep connection. The next day, she visited the hospital where Kevin was being treated, surprising Kristen by selling her valuable jewelry for $1 million to fund his surgery and improve their lives. Barbara, who had been searching for purpose, found it in helping Kristen’s family. Moved by her generosity, Kristen invited Barbara to live with them as a mother and grandmother. Barbara, tears of joy in her eyes, finally found her life’s meaning.
