MY GRANDMA WAS…

After my frugal grandma passed away, I inherited a $50 gift card. I nearly gave it away, but using it changed everything. The cashier froze upon seeing it, then called the manager, who led me to her office.

My grandma, Margaret Harper, had a secret. Though she seemed cheap, she was actually “The Angel in Disguise,” using her savings to buy gift cards for those in need—never seeking credit. The card I held was her last, untouched for ten years.

Realizing her true generosity, I honored her legacy. One day, I gave the card to a struggling mother at a diner. Her gratitude moved me, and I felt my grandma’s presence. Inspired, I started a fund in her name, helping others as she once did.

She wasn’t cheap—she was the richest person I knew in kindness. Now, I carry that love forward.

Has someone in your life shown you true generosity? If this story touched you, share it and help spread kindness. ❤️
