The Goodness of America
Coffee With an Extra Boost of Support
A single kind gesture can mean the world to someone. There’s no better proof of that than this lovely story out of Union Town, Ohio.
Nineteen-year-old Mackenzie Mauller was in the drive-thru lane at Starbucks when she randomly decided to pay for the order of the woman behind her, the Huffington Post reported. Unbeknownst to Mauller, or to the unsuspecting recipient of Mauller’s kindness, the patron sitting in the next car was a nearby neighbor named Nicole Clawson, who had been going through a difficult time. Mauller’s gesture meant the world Clawson.
Imagine Clawson’s surprise when she noticed Mauller, the kind stranger who bought her coffee, pulling into a driveway just a few houses away from Clawson’s. Clawson was thrilled to learn that Mauller lived in her neighborhood, and wanted to leave her a note of gratitude that would explain just how much she needed to experience the kindness that Mauller had shown her, and why.
