When Jacinta Masters was returning some children’s clothes to a local clothes shop, she was told she wouldn’t get her money back because she changed her card after making the purchase. Jacinta Masters started crying at that point because she was so upset. What happened?
A woman apparently lost her unborn child who was found dead in her womb and after coping with this terrible loss she had to visit the hospital to artificially induce her pregnancy. The cashier rushed to inform the manager after learning the whole story, and she had only one goal in mind: to refund the woman. Cashier Jo also returned with a lovely blue blanket which she paid for with her own money.
The mom-to-be posted an incredibly touching note on Facebook that quickly gained widespread attention:
Yeah, to the nice woman who helped me in the store, this is an open letter… You didn’t know me. However, one morning I came to return the clothes I had bought for the unborn child.
I was informed that since I changed the card I could not return them. I was devastated and cried and told everyone that my son had died, that I was on my way to the hospital, and that I didn’t want to see his clothes when I got home.
After I said that, you looked at me sincerely for a moment. You approached the manager and talked him into handing over the cash and taking the clothes. After I gave him a stillbirth in the hospital, you handed me a blanket to wrap him in. It was actually one of the things I had to get in the morning.
You came to me, gave me a big hug, and let me cry on your shoulder. There were clouds on the blue blanket.
It was flawless.
I told you that you are an angel and when I saw her I started to cry again.
I couldn’t get the words out. I didn’t know how to express my gratitude!
I sobbed the whole way to the hospital. I sobbed and held the blanket for fifteen minutes outside the hospital gate. Even though I don’t know your name anymore, know that I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. I will always be grateful for what you did for my child. I sincerely appreciate you; you are a true angel
