A delivery driver expected to close out her late-night shift with a routine grocery drop-off. Instead, a stranger's act of kindness left her in tears.
When Emilia Sainato placed a grocery order on a Sunday night, she was exhausted.
"It seemed like a better option than dragging a cranky toddler who needed a bath out to the store," she said.
The only delivery window available was between 9 and 11 p.m., and it happened to be Mother's Day.
A single mother to a one-year-old, Emilia noticed her delivery driver's name was Crystal and began thinking about the person making the late-night trip.
"I figured that as a female, and there was a 50% chance that my driver is a mom," she said.
She imagined another woman nearing the end of a long workday on Mother's Day. And even if Crystal wasn't a mother, Emilia said she appreciated someone willing to run errands for others late at night.

Wanting to brighten her evening, Emilia left out drinks, snacks and a handwritten note inviting Crystal to help herself.
The simple gesture sparked an emotional reaction Crystal never saw coming.
