Today, the AWESOME is in Chicago. Lynn Shockey is a senior who lives in a local housing community. A few weeks ago, she was in line at the grocery store with $200 worth of groceries when her benefits card failed. With not enough cash, she started putting things back, and that’s when a stranger stepped in. The man, with his 2 young kids standing behind her, stepped in and paid for her groceries. Lynn said the act of kindness made her whole year and she was inspired to make soup for her neighbors as a small way to pay it forward. Since then, the story has gone viral and inspired others to embrace random acts of compassion. The ripple effects of kindness THAT’S AWESOME.
