When a woman was caught stealing a carton of eggs at the local dollar store, the police were notified and immediately made their way to the scene.

But when the cop recognized the woman, his response was anything but what you would expect! The officer knew that the woman was currently living in very difficult living situation – trying to provide for her children on a very limited income. She had five children to feed, two of them toddlers. They hadn’t eaten in two days, so you can only imagine what this woman was going through.

So the officer made a decision at his own discretion, to do something completely out of the norm. When the store agreed not to press charges, Officer Stacy paid for the eggs! But that’s not all! When people throughout town heard about what was happening, they stopped by the local police station to drop off food. This woman who was caught stealing eggs was blown away and overcome with emotion at everyone’s generosity.

Luckily, this heartwarming act was caught on film! SHARE with everyone you know!
