Aloha in Oahu
REPOST - ALOHA: Reposting from Chauntel Leopoldo Mike K: This guy is awesome. May he have safe travels. "Nothing Stolen — Only AlohaWith everything crazy going on in this world, I just wanted to share a reminder that the Aloha spirit is still very much alive. Not only in us locals, but in visitors to our islands as well. Today my son-in-law went to Walmart in Kapolei to buy his niece, my granddaughter, a gift for her 3rd birthday. Knowing there’s another niece in the house too, he decided to get something for both girls so nobody would feel left out. When he got to the register, he realized he didn’t have any cash or a physical card on him. He normally just uses Tap (Apple Pay). That’s when he found out Walmart doesn’t accept Tap payments. So he stepped out of line and called my other son-in-law to bring a card so he could pay. After waiting about an hour, my other son-in-law arrived to help him finish the purchase. But because it was a bigger purchase than usual, his card kept getting declined. Then the man standing behind them stepped forward and said, “Braddah, I’ll pay for it for you.”Both of my sons-in-law tried to decline and told him to look at the total. But the man just smiled and said not to worry. He told them he was heading back home tomorrow and that Hawai‘i had been so good to him that he wanted to give back. My sons-in-law are only 20 and 21 years old, and they couldn’t believe someone would do something so kind for them.They didn’t want to take credit for something someone else did out of the goodness of his heart, so they asked him if he would take a quick video telling the girls he hoped they enjoyed their gifts.To the kind man who helped them today, if you ever see this, please know how much it meant to our family. Your generosity will never be forgotten.If anyone happens to recognize him, please give him a big hug and a heartfelt Mahalo from our family to his. The Aloha spirit is real, and today we were blessed to witness it." Let's continue to spread aloha and help each other in our community! Tag #stolenstuffhawaii to be reposted or for visibility.
