 Editor’s note: Hello everyone! I was reading through some older KindSpring stories and came across this beautiful note that I wanted to share. "I’m a 38 yr.old woman with 4 kids battling stage 4 breast cancer. I was out to eat with my family last weekend and we were ready to pay the bill. Inside the folder wasn’t the bill, but a smile card! Our dinner was paid for by a generous soul!! We are so blessed, thank you!" |
