Jobless woman touched by random act of kindess

We all hear stories about random acts of kindness, but we all wonder if that could happen to us.

That was the case for one Searcy, Arkansas woman, who was struggling to make ends meet.

She received the ultimate act of kindness, while recently checking out groceries at Walmart.

Mary Wadley never imagined the fortune she'd find the night she was checking out at a local Walmart store.

In fact, she'd moved to Arkansas, hoping for better luck after she was laid off her job in Michigan.

But it was still hard making ends meet for herself and her son.

"I've been praying to god, help me, give me a break, send someone to help reduce the pressure on me," said Wadley.

And that help was found in lane six of the check out area.

Wadley was checking out groceries Tuesday night at Walmart in Searcy.

The balance was $139.... But when it was time to pay, the cashier stopped her.

"I looked up at her in shock and she said, that guy just paid for your groceries," said Wadley.

The man had been in front of her in line, and smiled at her before he left.

And I looked up and he was walking out the door he never looked back, he just walked out," Wadley said.

So, who is he?

Wadley doesn't know but she's looking for him.

"I just want to say thank you to his face and you really helped and now me and my son are going to make it ok," said Wadley.

She calls the anonymous stranger an angel.

And says, even if she never meets him, she wants him to know what a difference he made in her life.

And she'll always treasure the receipt as a symbol of hope during tough times.

"I've had a lot of bad things happen in the past year, it touched my heart, put a smile on my face and a smile on my heart, and let's me know there are still good people out there."

Wadley also referred to her anonymous helper as a prince charming.

She says since it's just a few days before Valentines Day, and even though she doesn't know the man, this is an act that swept her off her feet.
