Leslie, a flight attendant, got on the plane with a terrible headache from going out the night before in Atlanta. Her friend Amy’s words of support and headache pills helped her get ready for the long trip across the country.
Leslie heard weak crying as she walked by the toilet. As she looked into it, she found Ben, a young boy who wasn’t on the passenger roster. Ben told the story of how he got split from his family while bringing his grandmother’s important medicine.
Leslie called the police and went with Ben to Seattle to reunite him with his happy family. In exchange, Ben’s family gave Leslie $100,000 from a fundraiser effort to help pay for the treatment of his late grandma. This allowed Leslie’s sick son Joe to get care that saved his life.
This chance meeting changed Leslie’s life by bringing her back together with her son and giving her hope in people again. Ben’s kind action showed that kindness wins out even in tough times.
