The Goodness of America
Planting Seeds
A liquor-store employee in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, proved that a single act of kindness can inspire goodness in others.
Brooklyn Center Liquor employee Ta Leia Thomas, better known as “Ace” by friends and family, was working at the front of the liquor store on December 6 when she noticed a homeless man digging through the trash outside the store. The man pulled out two boxes and strapped them to his feet in a desperate attempt to create makeshift shoes to protect his feet from the bitter cold.
Without hesitation, Ace called after the man and unlaced her own beloved, and very expensive, retro Air Jordans from her feet and helped put them on the man’s feet.
