People typically have garage sales to get rid of their old, unnecessary junk. While one woman was having a sale of her own, she accidentally overheard a conversation between a young girl and her mother that immediately made her uncomfortable. However, as soon as she saw the mother’s face, she knew she had to act fast.

One woman, who has remained anonymous, was holding a garage sale when she noticed a young girl and her mother approaching her property. As they scanned over the items she had for sale, the little girl quickly noticed a Pink Disney Princess TV that she wished to have. However, when she overheard what the little girl said to her mother, the woman’s heart literally broke into tiny little pieces.

“I overheard the little girl very politely ask her mom if there was anything she could do to earn the money to buy the TV,” explained the woman, according to Love What Matters. “She did not just ask if she could have it. She asked if she could earn the money herself.” Obviously, this mother was raising her little girl as most parents should, knowing how to manage money and to earn the things you desire.

“She was 6 years old,” the woman continued. “Her mom told her she could not afford it right now, then kissed her forehead. The little girl replied, ‘It’s okay mommy’ and grabbed her mom’s hand.”

There aren’t many children who would so calmly walk away from something they wanted. However, the woman holding the garage sale would quickly get the vibe that this particular mother and daughter were going through something rather difficult in their life.

“I could tell this mom and daughter had gone through something and the interactions between them were so genuine, so precious,” she explained. “I saw the little girl look over at the TV every so often…My heart was mush.”

Eventually, the mother and daughter approached the woman to pay for the few items they had chosen to purchase from the sale. However, the woman knew she needed to act fast and do something to help this mother and daughter, who she knew needed a blessing.

“As the mom brought her items up to pay, I said, ‘I would like you to have these things, no charge,’” she explained. Of course, the mother’s eyes welled up with tears and thanked the woman for her generosity, but she asked why this stranger would be so kind.

“I sense that you are going through something right now, and I don’t need to know what that ‘something’ is,” the woman explained. “But you obviously have not let it deter you from being an amazing mom, and you are raising a wonderful, beautiful, joyful, polite, little girl.”

At that point, the mother broke down and explained their devastating situation to the woman. They had been in an abusive situation and had left with only a duffle bag of items for them both after she saved up enough money for a small one room apartment. The mother explained that it was a big step for them and that she finally felt “blessed” and that “they were safe,” finally.

Of course, now the woman knew it was up to her to help this mother and child out during their difficult transition. She gave them a couple of garbage bags and instructed them to fill them up with anything they could use within the garage sale, including pillows, blankets, and a blow up camping bed. In addition, she even gave them a box of food to fill up their empty cupboards.

As if what this woman was offering this mother and child wasn’t enough, what the woman did next is truly remarkable. “I told her, ‘We all go through hard times. This is a season, and seasons pass,” she explained. “When this season passes for you, you can ‘pay it forward’ to someone else.’ And then, yes… I quietly asked her if I could give her little girl the Disney Princess TV.”

She explains that the look on the little girl’s face when the TV was placed in her car was unforgettable. She knew that she had done the right thing. Perhaps the most touching part of the entire incident is how the woman describes her experience. “What they probably don’t realize, is that they blessed me far more than I blessed them,” she said.
