A Kind Story That Prove a Little Sympathy Goes a Long Way
Finding the Bag
While working at a fast food restaurant, I noticed a lady left her Louis Vuitton bag on a table. After waiting 20 minutes and realizing she wasn’t coming back, I “decided to take the bag to the lost and found.” I didn’t check inside and just placed it there before returning to work.
Discovering the Surprise
A month later, the bag was still unclaimed. My manager asked, “Do you want that bag?” I said yes and finally opened it. To my surprise, it was empty except for a single piece of paper — “a receipt with a handwritten message: ‘To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.’” The receipt showed the bag cost $1,700. It seemed the owner had planned a “random act of kindness” to help someone in need.
A New Confidence
I packed my belongings into the bag and took it home, keeping the story to myself. That purse wasn’t just a fashion item; it “helped me look more put-together in job interviews and made me feel a bit more confident.”
A Lasting Reminder
I still have the bag today. It reminds me of “those humble days when I didn’t have much” and inspires me to “pay that kindness forward and give back to others whenever I can.”
