Random act of kindness chosen over neck nomination; thank you

Hello, I wanted to let you know of something incredible that happened to me yesterday.

Dear Editor,

Hello, I wanted to let you know of something incredible that happened to me yesterday. I went to the Fas Gas at the top of the hill and put in my last $15 for gas so I could pick my kids up from school.

After I was done two girls approached me and asked me if I had ever heard of the neck nominations. I said I had and the one girl proceeded to tell me that she had been nominated but did not want to do it.

Instead she wanted to do a random act of kindness. She then handed me $60 and said she would like to help pay for my gas and whatever else I wanted. I was in total shock. I told her how amazing she and her friend were and she said thank you and left.

Unfortunately I did not get her name because I was totally speechless and I did not even find out what she was supposed to do in the first place. These two girls looked no more than 17 years old.

I am writing this in hopes you might write a story about it to recognize these two girls for not only doing something so amazing for someone they did not know. They had no idea how badly I needed that extra money to help out with my kids. From the very bottom of my heart I want to thank these two girls for doing something so amazing and I will be sure to pay it forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Karrie Anderson,
