A year later, I discovered a box on my porch. Inside were photos of the little girl happily playing with the kitchen set, her face glowing with genuine joy.
There was also something special—a beautifully handcrafted wooden recipe box with a note enclosed.
The note said, “Thank you for your kindness. My niece adored the kitchen set so much that she now dreams of becoming a chef.
Together, we crafted this recipe box as our way of paying it forward.”
