Now and then, a child will come along who reminds us that there is compassion in the world. This five-year-old girl did that recently and brought her grandmother to tears.
A grandmother is in tears right now, but her tears are for a good reason. She was overwhelmed with emotion at the compassionate nature of her five-year-old granddaughter.
It’s hard to find bright people in a world that sometimes seems to lack empathy, and she was happy that she could find it in a relative. It’s refreshing to see a child like this.
It reminds us that we can still have hope in humanity.
The little girl’s name is Sunshine, which is quite fitting for her bright personality. Her grandmother, Jackie, saw her do something a bit peculiar when she came home from school.
Jackie saw Sunshine emptying her piggy bank.
She had been saving money and putting it into the piggy bank for a long time, so she had a significant amount of cash saved. Naturally, her grandmother wanted to know what she was going to do with the money that she dumped on the floor.Sunshine told her grandmother she was taking that money to school for her friends. Jackie was puzzled, and she asked Sunshine why she was going to do such a thing.
Sunshine went on to explain that some of her friends did not have money for milk, and she wanted to share her money with them so that they could have that. She didn’t think it was fair for those children not to have milk, and she felt like she had plenty of money.
