As a single dad, Benjamin Bruce had always been devoted to his 12-year-old daughter, Emily. After losing her mother at six, Ben took on both parental roles, determined to keep his promise to care for Emily.
When Emily began paying attention to her appearance, Ben struggled to keep up. He tried brushing her hair, but his clumsiness often left her in pain.
Recently, Emily’s tardiness concerns Ben. He investigated, speaking with her teacher, Mrs. Flynn, who suggested the bus driver might know something.
Ben followed Emily’s bus, worried about her safety. Instead, he found Madeline, the 40-year-old driver, gently combing Emily’s hair.
Madeline explained that she noticed Emily’s struggles with her hair and offered help. Emily confided in Madeline, sharing her frustration with her rough hair.
Ben was moved by Madeline’s kindness. Over coffee, he learned she was a cancer survivor who believed she survived to care for children like Emily.

Give back when you can.
Madeline’s selflessness inspired Ben. She showed him that kindness can transform lives.
