Baby Formula Reward
When I was in Nicaragua I bought this woman baby formula. I was pretty lost in this city I was in and I was trying to find a box to mail stuff home… not to mention find the post office and my way back. I spoke a passible amount of Spanish.
Looking obviously lost this woman approaches me and asks me if I’m lost. Yes. She takes me all over the city getting me the things I need and helping me deal with the post office (which is a real pain). Then she takes me to a little food stand with the best food I’ve had in days.
After all this she asks if she can ask for a favor. I agree. She needs baby formula for her baby. Apparently baby formula in other countries is EXPENSIVE. It was $25 for a small thing of formula. Crazy.
I bought it for her and she’s practically crying. I guess she comes to the city every day trying to sell things and do favors for people to get money for formula.
