It all happened in Australia. It was a normal day and Ryan O’Donnell and his two children went to the supermarket to do some shopping.
Ryan had no idea what would happen at the grocery store that day.
After shopping, Ryan and his two children lined up to pay for their groceries. In front of them was an old woman who tried to use the card to pay for groceries, but each time she tried to refuse her card.
And after repeated attempts, it turned out that the old woman did not have enough money on the card and was ashamed and disappointed in this situation.
Ryan noticed everything and went straight to the register and asked how much it cost to buy the old woman. She replied that she had to pay $44.
Without thinking, Ryan took the $50 bill out of his wallet and handed it to the woman.
The woman was speechless with tears in her eyes and asked Ryan how he could reward the gesture. Ryan had a simple response: “Don’t worry, have a nice day.”
Another supermarket customer watched the whole scene, also took a photo and posted the whole story on one of the social networks.
After the incident broke, Ryan’s kind gesture stunned millions around the world, who have only words to praise the man.
When a local news station called him and asked why he chose to pay for this old woman’s purchases, Ryan replied simply and humbly, “I did what my dad taught me to do. helping others when I can!”
This story gives us confidence and hope in people in general. Thanks to Ryan, others can choose to make friendly gestures and help those in need when the opportunity arises.
