Wuz waiting for someone to second guess! ;)

She just did it out loud. Plenty of skepticism on this one. I got it from 3 different places today. Didn't forward it to 10 people and broke the chain, so I'm waiting for it to rain on my daughter's wedding day.

Yosef works for an organization in BoroPark, but lives in Lakewood. Before Pesach, the organization gave their employees a gift card to KRM for $1000. 
Yosef's aunt, who lives in BoroPark, gave him cash for the gift card, so he can shop locally in Lakewood, and she'd shop in KRM.  Which she did. But only spent about half the card before Pesach.
After Pesach the aunt met up for coffee with a friend who's in a low income bracket.
She passed on the card to her.  Saying,  "I got it from my nephew, he got it from his boss.  It's all free food. You take it."  Without mentioning that she'd paid for it.


source: I know the aunt.

How can you do that to your daughter!

Sorry.  I'm having trouble with someone unknowingly leaving his bank statement on someone's car. It can't only be DDFers who are careful about sensitive information.
Beautiful story if it happened.

A receipt from an ATM might have the account balance and I can easily see someone using it as scrap paper to leave their number

+1. Interesting that same exact story happened with multiple parking lots incidents throughout the tri state.  ::) ::)

(I'm not on social media, is there a "like" option there like a thumbs up which incentivizes people to post "great stories"? )

Negative balance receipt can be very helpful in bringing down damaged car's owner expectation for large payout.   :D

Nope, just added more skepticism to it, as my DW got yesterday meme with same story happening elsewhere...

Yup, was wondering the same.

While it is possible that the story did happen and the location was mistakenly(?) changed. It does raise questions.

Everything is possible but that killed already the entire story for me

I think the Kiddush Hashem is the very fact that such a story is plausible. Obviously, it would be more impressive if it actually happened, but we all know people who WOULD do it in a heartbeat if they found such a receipt on their windshield.

Sometimes the kiddush hashem story needs an honesty story.

I'm skeptical that my sister claims she knows the mother of the original story

I don't know. She says she knows the lady who posted it about her son.

Is your account # actually on a bank slip?

A shul I pray in occasionally, has a group of boys that for weeks at a time, will break into the kitchen every Friday night, take tons of the hot kiddush food (leaving very little for Shabbos morning), and completely wreck the place. The person running the shul doesn't complain or say a word, he personally cleans the mess, and the next week he puts extra food and drinks aside for them with a sign welcoming them to enjoy it.

This has been going on for years but it still amazes me.

Renewal is facilitating six kidney donations today. And I believe all 6 are altruistically! Mind blowing. MKY
