An idea
That’s when she got an idea. She wanted to start a program at the diner, where people could pay it forward (just like Emily and Tom asked them to). They could buy a meal for someone who couldn’t afford it, or they could leave a donation for someone who needed it. Renee thought it was a great idea, and she offered to help in any way she could.

Spark
They started the program the next week, and it was an immediate success. People would come into the diner and leave donations, or they would buy a meal for someone else. It was like a chain reaction of kindness, and it all started with Tom and Emily, who sparked an idea.And now that they had a comfortable life, it felt good to provide the same thing to others.
