Do you have a pair of shoes for sale? Yes, I do. Whatever you have would work, yeah. How much are they?
$10. $10? Yeah. So, would I be able to pay you later after I get paid?
Yes, that'd be fine. You sure? Yeah. What made you decide to have a garage sale?
My daughter actually mentioned it a couple months ago. How old is your daughter? 22. She's trying to master's program, but couldn't afford it with the cost of living.
Oh, really? Is that your dream is to be a physical therapist? Hopefully something like that. I'm really helping people a lot, so You do?
Yeah. Oh, that's so sweet. When you have garage sales, are you clearing stuff out? stuff out, and then whatever is left we usually donate most of it.
Oh, do you really? To the stores, yeah. What would it mean for your daughter to be able to go back to college? She'd probably be overjoyed.
She was on the path and she just couldn't go any further. What's the biggest barricade from her going back to school? The money. So, what are you going to do?
I don't know. I got a question for you. Yeah. What's your favorite part about your mom?
She's very kind to others. Do you act the same way your mom does? I think so. These are 10 bucks, you said.
Um why would you give them to me for free? If you really needed something, I mean, there's something that would go sit in the closet otherwise. That's very kind of you. So, I want your daughter to be able to go back to college, and I don't have too much money, but I would you be able to give this to her for me?
Sure, I can. And I want her to live out her dream and pursue her passion. I didn't need the shoes. I was looking for somebody with a good heart.
So, I want you to know that your kindness doesn't go unnoticed. I'm going to give you a hug. Thanks. Yeah.
Your daughter's great. Yeah, she is. Here we go. Here you go, sweetie.
Wow, it's heavy. Come on. It's your lucky day, James. Oh.
Aw, that was cute. You got a very kind heart, and I want you to be able to go out there and make a positive impact in the world, cuz I know you can. Go out there and and kill it in the world.
