Linda was shopping for groceries

Her six your old son Danny was trying to help her

He kept putting items in her cart but she was very patient with him

Shopping very carefully to keep within her budget

It was hard making ends meet as a single parent

Working two jobs while her mother watched Danny

It was a struggle to pay all the bills

She put most things he picked back on the shelves

Why did you put that back? Danny asked

Because we cannot afford it she explained

Danny kept looking for more things and was always asking questions

He pointed to a woman paying at the checkout

How come her cart is so full mommy?

Maybe she has a big family said Linda

They finally reached the checkout with her cart only half full

Linda put her credit card in the reader to pay

The cashier whispered to her I am sorry but your card is declined

Linda had no other cards or cash to pay

Common Danny we have to leave the groceries here today

We will come back another day

Danny started to cry yelling but I am hungry

Linda picked him up and hugged him

Its OK I got this said the man next in line

He put his card in the reader, Linda caught sight of the name James on his card

She thanked him profusely and he smiled but said nothing more

A week later there was a knock on her door

Linda signed for a FedEx envelope

Inside was a hand written note on a folded card with a debit card

The message was short and unsigned

Danny will never go hungry, this card is good for $500 a week forever
