Child Begins Having Melt Down In Grocery Store When A Hero Steps In

You don’t have to own a cape to be a hero. Sometimes, all you have to wear is your heart on your sleeve.

A Morrisons grocery clerk who works in Basingstoke, England had this exact quality of heartfelt compassion that makes a hero.

Sometimes the clerk sees Amanda Wilkins, a Mom who has two children, both of whom are registered blind and also autistic. She knows the family in passing and on this particular occasion, both Amanda’s children decided to have a full-blown meltdown in the middle of the checkout line.

Thankfully, the clerk knew what to do, a kind gesture that has gone on to be shared more than 100,000 times on Facebook after Mom snapped a pic.

I would like to say a massive thank you to the lady in the photo ( sorry didn’t see her name) who helped me today at Morrisons in Basingstoke.

I have two children that are both registered blind and are also autistic. As you can imagine shopping is not an easy thing for me to do, at the checkout both girls decided to go into meltdown and this very kind lady decided to help instead of judge. It doesn’t happen very often!

She distracted my daughter by letting her scan all my shopping. A dream come true for Holly who loves playing ‘shops’. It melts my heart to come across people that are prepared to go the extra mile, and little acts of kindness makes a massive difference to my world.

I hope this gets back to her and she knows how much we appreciate it.

Let’s work to make sure the clerk sees this and knows the impact she made. SHARE this story on Facebook if you want this woman’s good deed to get out there, have an effect on others, and find its way back to the friendly, neighborhood grocer.
