A mother from Texas found herself on the receiving end of an unexpected act of kindness when she went to pick up her daughter’s birthday cake from a local supermarket. Not only had the cake been paid for by a generous stranger, but the unknown person’s reason for doing so was truly heartbreaking.

On Feb. 22, 2020, mom of two Holly Grimet dropped into a Kroger supermarket in Alvin, Texas, to pick up a cake and cupcakes for her daughter Eva’s eighth birthday pool party. To her surprise, instead of a bill, Holly was handed an anonymous handwritten note by the store’s bakery staff.
