An arrogant bus driver kicked out a woman and her crying baby in the cold because she didn’t have money for the fare. But later, she received help from an unexpected source.
Meredith had been happily married for 15 years, and during these years, not even once had her husband Josh indicated that he was unhappy with her or desired divorce. However, it happened one day when Josh packed his belongings and left her and their two children alone.
Meredith’s third baby was still on the way at that point, and the woman was struggling to make ends meet. When their third child, Kathy, was born, she took a job at a beauty parlor where she could take baby Kathy with her and care for her.

Thankfully, her older children, Rachel and Philip, were quite cooperative and helped their mother in whatever way they could from a very young age because they had seen her struggle for them.
Meredith also tried her hardest to balance work and child care, but it wasn’t easy. Kathy was only a few months old, and she couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her alone. As a result, she took her everywhere she went, including to work.
Unfortunately, one morning, Meredith couldn’t get out of bed on time because she struggled to put Kathy to sleep the night before. When the woman glanced at her watch, it was already at 10:00 a.m. The bus was scheduled to leave at 10:15 a.m., and if Meredith missed it, she wouldn’t be able to catch another until 10:40 a.m.
Affording a cab wasn’t a feasible solution as she’d been living on a tight budget, so the woman left the house as soon as she could.
It was freezing, and Meredith was holding baby Kathy close to her, covered in her overcoat to protect the child from the cold. Luckily she’d reached the bus stop just before it was ready to depart.

She dashed into the bus as she arrived at the stop and was about to take a seat when the driver abruptly stopped her. “Excuse me, ma’am. You forgot to pay your fare!”
“Oh, sorry, just give me a minute,” Meredith apologized and started looking for her purse, but when she reached into her bag, she discovered her wallet was missing. It contained both the bus pass and the money....
