The Unexpected Find
While working at a fast food restaurant, I noticed a lady left her Louis Vuitton bag on a table. After waiting 20 minutes without her returning, I took the bag to the lost and found. I didn’t peek inside; I just placed it there and continued with my shift.
The Month-Long Wait
A month later, the bag remained unclaimed. My manager asked casually, “It’s been a month… do you want that bag?” I thought it over and agreed. I went to retrieve it and finally decided to open it.
A Surprising Message
To my surprise, the bag was empty except for a single piece of paper. The receipt had a handwritten note: “To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays.” The receipt revealed the bag had cost $1,700! It seemed the lady had planned this random act of kindness all along.
A New Beginning
I packed my belongings into the bag and took it home, keeping the story to myself. The purse wasn’t just a stylish accessory; it boosted my confidence during job interviews and made me feel more put-together.
Lasting Impact
I still cherish the bag today. It serves as a reminder of my humble beginnings and motivates me to pass on kindness. It inspires me to give back whenever I can.
