Today, I walked into a Walmart and met Dolores.

I approached her and asked if she could help me buy food for my baby. Without hesitation, she said yes.

To honor her kindness, I gave Dolores $500. She immediately began to weep in the arms of her daughter and then she shared her story.

Dolores is 86 years old. She recently lost her entire family including her husband and now it’s just her and her daughter trying to get by. Her husband passed away, and with him went his Social Security income. Now she’s fallen behind on her bills, and at her age, she’s no longer able to work to make ends meet.

Yet even in the middle of her grief, loneliness, and financial struggle, she was still willing to help a complete stranger.

That kind of heart shouldn’t be met with silence.

Let’s come together and rally around Dolores so she doesn’t have to carry this season alone, and so she can be cared for in the midst of unimaginable loss. ❤️
