On Christmas Eve, a woman ordered from DoorDash and decided to leave a $100 tip on a $60 order. She had no idea that her simple act of kindness would have such a profound impact on the delivery driver’s life. The driver wrote her a letter in response to her generosity, expressing their gratitude and sharing the impact it had on their life. The anonymous driver stated that they had been delivering for DoorDash since October due to job loss.

They decided to take the DoorDash order on December 24th to help pay for a tank of gas. They wrote in the letter that the generous tip from the woman “baffled” them and that they cried the entire way home. “I must admit, I cried the entire way home and hugged my three children tight that night,” the driver wrote. The driver continued by saying that the tip enabled them to use the experience to teach their children the value of kindness and generosity.

“I told them how important it is to be kind to others and generous when you can,” they wrote, adding that “doing so could make someone’s day, and to never expect gratitude in return.” This letter is a powerful reminder of the impact of kindness.

The woman’s simple act of generosity not only aided the driver financially but also provided them with an invaluable opportunity to teach their children an important lesson. It serves as a reminder that we never know how our actions will affect the lives of others, but that even the smallest gestures can have a significant impact.
