Good Samaritan story from Pennsylvania

Tomiko Johnson insists that she is not a hero since she paid a food bill for college student Emily Dossick who was running an errand for Shirley Schombs to buy groceries at a Costco food store in Montgomeryville.
Tomiko took action when Emily's credit card was rejected due to lack of funds by asking the cashier how much was the price of the food.
The price of the food bill was $200 bills which Tomiko paid out of her own pocket.
Emily did track down Tomiko to thank her for her act of generosity at the parking lot.
Tomiko simply asked Emily to "Pay it forward." When Shirley found out that Tomiko paid for the food bill at Costco, her shared the story on social media that are good people in our world today even in these tough times.

Tomiko did it as an act of kindness to shed some light on the good deeds people do in tough times.

Tomiko is right not to be called as hero. She's kind and helpful to help Emily pay her food bills.

I like what Tomiko did since she did it as an act of love and did not want the good publicity attached tp her name at first.

That was very nice of her to do so, and shows there are still good people left in the world.

@Deepizzaguy Despite how bad this current crisis is, I have seen so much good coming out of it, where people are helping each other and looking out for each other, and taking care of each other. It's a beautiful sight to see. It's too bad it took a pandemic to make people realize what is most important in life.

Wow that's quite some generosity! I guess she was in great shape financially to do such a good deed. Nice the act did not go unnoticed.

I think that Tomiko has some extra money that she used to pay the food bill of Emily.
