Story 6:
I was a junior in high school, and my family’s financial situation was rough. I had to wear the same pair of shoes every day, and they were falling apart. I was so embarrassed.
One day, a girl I barely knew stopped me in the hallway and said, “Hey, I saw these cool shoes online and thought of you.” She handed me a shoebox.
Inside were brand-new sneakers. I tried to refuse, but she just said, “They were on sale and didn’t fit my brother, so they’d just go to waste.” I knew she was lying, but I took them. She never mentioned it again.
