Michael smiled again, glancing down at Lily. “We heard about your daughter’s generous gesture the other day. We have a network of volunteers and supporters who make it their mission to recognize and encourage kindness in the world. Her actions did not go unnoticed.”

Lily’s eyes widened. “Is this about the man outside the store? Is he okay?”

Michael nodded reassuringly. “He’s doing much better, thanks to you. Your kindness inspired others to help him, and your story reached us through one of our volunteers.”
