Now, here's Andrea Estrada in California with this week's story.

My husband and I had met once after dating online in the long distance. He was in Indiana and I was in California and we were part of a Reddit community called Secret Santa and somebody started a thread saying what was your

Santa wish and we wished to be together for the holidays but I was a grad

student and he was a undergrad student and I haven't had any cash.

So we just made that little arbitrary wish and I didn't think anything of it.

But an individual reached out to me and said, I have traveling miles that I would love to gift to you.

Never met us in person and never asked for things in us, but gave us miles to allow me a return trip to go see my husband, then my boyfriend, and allowed

me to go see him for Christmas, for New Year's and without that trip I don't think he would

have ever actually taken a step to becoming husband and wife. So that man's kindness allowed us to begin the process of falling

deeper in love and determining that we were meant for each other. Andrea, thank you so much for calling and sharing your story.

Now we want to hear from you.

Call and leave a message with your story of kindness.

We're at 617 353 6350.

Yasmin and I will be back with a new episode of Kind World on Tuesday.

Thanks for listening.
