Woman gave $30 to a street girl. 12 years later, a millionaire rang her doorbell

Sienna Thompson, a simple meatpacking worker, gave her last bit of change to a hungry street child. When Sienna was having her worst day 12 years later, a millionaire knocked on her door and what she’d done was covered in newspapers all over the world. The routine was the same every time.

The clock struck 5 o’clock in the afternoon, signaling the end of the day shifts for dozens of workers at a meatpacking plant in Chicago. Sienna was one of those employees who ran down the same street after work to catch the subway back home. Because the work was so demanding, she was exhausted at times.

On that day, the slaughterhouse received a large shipment of pork. Despite having power tools to help her with the cutting, Sienna had to carry and move a large amount of meat from one side to the other. Her arms trembled from exertion, but the job was eventually completed.

On days like this, Sienna would take the subway home and sleep for most of the ride. Sienna’s co-workers, who live in the same neighborhood, were on hand to wake her up so she wouldn’t miss her stop. However, she was left alone in the wagon on this particular day.

If she slept, she risked waking up only one or two stops away, potentially resulting in a 40-minute wait before she could finally sleep, which was a bad idea. Worrying didn’t help matters because Sienna dozed off in the subway. However, a man’s deep and gentle voice jolted her awake.

Lady, your stop is coming up, isn’t it? Sienna opened her eyes, puzzled by what was going on. It’s your stop next, isn’t it? the man asked, lightly touching her shoulder. He apologized for startling her.

I had to say something so you wouldn’t miss the stop. He was a well-educated, well-dressed man in his 30s. He spoke to her as if he didn’t want to appear malicious.

After thanking him, Sienna inquired how he knew where she needed to alight. Sienna was usually with her co-workers, so he never had to wake her up. But today was different.

She was alone, and he didn’t want her to miss her stop. As they exited the train together, he introduced himself as Howard. They began talking as they walked down the street together.

Sienna lived a long way away from Howard. He decided to wait with her at the bus stop because she still had to catch a bus before getting home. The conversation moved along smoothly.

They quickly discovered that they shared similar tastes, worked in the same area, and even had mutual friends. How come we’ve never seen each other before? Sienna inquired. Actually, I did notice you on the subway, he admitted awkwardly…
