My 3 yo daughter and I were sitting in our truck before we went into Aldis to do our shopping. I noticed a little old frail lady offering to take carts back for people if she could keep the quarter from the carts. She had a couple of shopping bags with her. After we got out of the truck, and I got my baby into a cart, we waited until the lady came over to put more carts away. I asked her is she was trying to earn money to buy things that she needed. She said yes and gave me this big toothless grin. I told her that if she helped me shop, that I could help her get some of the things that she needed. She asked "Really? Are you sure?", and when I said yes her smile became even bigger. She did come in the store with us, and I had her pick out some items that she needed. She wanted to wait outside untill I was done with my shopping, so I decided to get her some ice cream so that she could have a treat too. When she realized about the ice cream, she tried to give it back to me but I told her that I got it for her. Her face just lit up with joy and she said thank you and God bless you. I can't do that all the time, but I just could not see this lady working so hard at her age just to have some food to eat.
