Drenched from head to toe in a freezing, midnight rainstorm, a pregnant woman banged desperately on the locked glass doors of a closed pharmacy, crying out for medicine for her sick child. An elderly pharmacist inside looked out, and instead of turning her away, he quickly unlocked the door and pulled her into the warmth. When the weeping mother confessed through her sobs that she had absolutely no money to pay, the kind pharmacist smiled warmly, handed her the vital medicine, and said, “Pay me back when you can. Your baby comes first.” His simple act of pure humanity saved a life that night, proving that true compassion doesn’t have a price tag.
