Poor Guy Misses Chance to See His Mother Losing Plane Ticket, Kind Little Boy Restores His Hope – Story of the Day

Lucas Brighton was about to go on a trip when he found a man at the airport looking sad and defeated. He restored the man’s hope by extending him an act of kindness.

Lucas Brighton is a kind and intelligent 12-year-old boy who came from a wealthy family. His family enjoyed traveling together and one day planned a trip to India, as they loved learning about unique cultures.

As they were the type to plan ahead, the Brighton family would always arrive at the airport hours before their scheduled flight. As this was during a time when the internet wasn’t readily available just yet, they preferred to arrive early to skip the check-in lines.

The man, Sinan, was at first confused. But when Lucas left, he checked under his seat and saw a ticket lying there. It wasn’t his, but he was desperate, so he did as Lucas told him. He approached passport control to request for a name change.
