She Used Her $100 to Help a Mom Fighting for Her Family.
Julie didn’t have to think twice. The second she got her golden envelope, she knew who needed it—Amanda, a single mom who’s nothing short of a superhero herself.
Amanda’s life hasn’t been easy. Her daughter was in a tragic accident, leaving her paralyzed and now battling stage 4 cancer. On top of that, Amanda is raising two young sons with autism—and doing it all with strength, patience, and love.
Julie met Amanda while working at Cracker Barrel. From day one, she saw something special in her. Julie, who also has a son with autism, immediately connected to Amanda’s story. She watched how Amanda handled challenges most of us can’t even imagine—with grace, even when people didn’t understand.
Giving Amanda the $100 wasn’t just about money—it was about showing her that someone sees her, appreciates her, and believes in her.
“I can’t even put into words how good it felt to do this.”
This is what kindness looks like.
