I am so excited to finally have a story to share and to be here sharing it with you. I’ve been walking around with the $50 and cards in my wallet for weeks just waiting for the right opportunity(s) to elf someone.
This evening, we went out for dinner and when I walked in, my eye went immediately to a table of women. They had 2 baby car seats with them as well and it looked as though they may be having a first gathering after a new arrival or two.
There were four women in the group and they were joined a little later by a fifth. They looked like they were having a good time…and being a mom, I know how important those dinner’s out with the girls can be…especially after a new baby.
I knew that I wanted to gift them…and while I would have loved to have given them their entire meal for free…but I figured $50 off their meal would be a total delight too.
I asked our server who was serving that table and she sent their server over. She took the cash and the cards and to my knowledge, kept my anonymity as requested.
I saw the ABM cards were on the table, so I trust they received their gift.
They looked like a wonderful group of women and I am delighted and so grateful to ABM for allowing me an opportunity to give something like this to others.

How wonderful! And did you see you already have a thank you on the thank you page? I was wondering who that was! She said you managed to cover 75% of their bill!
So fun. Thanks so much for posting!
