I was at Walmart, getting ready to leave, and my car battery was dead.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-text\">\n<blockquote class=\"q-relative qu-color--gray\">\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">So, I went back into the store and bought some jumper cables.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">There was a man in a white truck parked next to me. I asked if he could give me a jump. He told me what I really needed was a new battery. I explained that I couldn\u2019t afford a new battery right now because I had a $400 insurance bill due today. The man asked if I was a single parent since I had the baby with me, and I told him, &#8216;No, her mom was at work.&#8217; He then told me to pull around to the auto department, so I did, thinking he was going to have them charge my battery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Walmart\u2019s auto department was really busy, so the man suggested I follow him to AutoZone instead. I followed him to the store, where he went inside and spoke with someone. He then came out to my car and told me that someone would be out in a few minutes. He shook my hand and drove off. A few minutes later, an employee came out with a brand-new battery to install in my car!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">Jordan had tears in his eyes as he said, &#8220;Mom, I didn\u2019t even get the man\u2019s name!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">To the gentleman driving a white truck in North Augusta yesterday, who helped my son and granddaughter\u2014thank you!!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"q-relative qu-color--gray\">\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"q-box\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"q-image qu-cursor--default qu-display--block\" src=\"https:\/\/qph.cf2.quoracdn.net\/main-qimg-2bf5aa0eef3b93e5ac4660db6fd8dc86\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-absolute qu-borderRadius--pill QTextBlockQuote___StyledAbsolute-an1wlz-0 gYaYDc\"><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\"><a class=\"q-box qu-cursor--pointer qu-hover--textDecoration--underline b2c1r2a puppeteer_test_link\" title=\"web.facebook.com\" href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1KnyXKJFkF\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1KnyXKJFkF\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-text qu-dynamicFontSize--small qu-pb--tiny qu-mt--small qu-color--gray_light qu-passColorToLinks\">\n<div class=\"q-flex\">\n<p><span class=\"c1h7helg\">513.3K\u00a0views<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"q-click-wrapper c1nud10e qu-display--inline-block qu-tapHighlight--white qu-cursor--pointer qu-hover--textDecoration--underline\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div class=\"q-flex\">View\u00a02,668\u00a0upvotes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-click-wrapper c1nud10e qu-display--inline-block qu-tapHighlight--white qu-cursor--pointer qu-hover--textDecoration--underline\" tabindex=\"0\">View\u00a017\u00a0shares<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"inspiration\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1754412631\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Thanks, Stranger!\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FROM QUORA: Humanity Follow Posted\u00a0by\u00a0 Saum Prad Last night, my son Jordan came into my room and said, &#8220;Mom, let.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-76749","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-inspiration","7":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76749\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
