Nadine decided to start a conversation with her after she noticed that the young woman was eyeing the rotisserie chickens that were on sale, but wasn't taking one for herself. During their conversation, the mother inquired about the price of the chicken and Nadine could sense that they may not be able to afford much for groceries.

“The mom was holding the daughter’s hand and looking at the chickens, and I could tell she wanted one so I said, ‘These chickens are the best deal. They are good, tasty, and inexpensive. At $4.99 it’s a great buy," Nadine explained. "The woman looked at me nervously and asked if it was $4.99 per pound or for the whole chicken, so at this point I guessed she may not be able to afford it. I explained it was for the whole chicken. We talked a bit more and she thanked me and picked up a chicken.”

So as the mother was choosing a chicken, Nadine decided to secretly lend a helping hand.

As she was doing that, I had some money in my pocket and dropped it into her bag so she wouldn’t notice, then walked away.
