6-Year-Old Sam Begs Grocery Cashier to Find Santa to Help His Poor Bedridden Mom — Story of the Day

A 6-year-old boy begs a grocery store cashier to help him find Santa after his mother is bedridden following an accident. Santa grants his wish and pays him a visit, bringing an envelope addressed to him and his mother.

Just a week was left for Christmas, and customers were pouring in and out of a grocery store in Atlanta when Mr. Macmillan, the store’s cashier, noticed a little boy, about six years old, standing outside the store, looking around, trying to find something.

Mr. Macmillan paused his work for a while and decided to approach the little boy, who was dressed in his school uniform. “Hi there, young man. Would you like to buy something from the store?” he gently asked.

The little boy, whose name was Sam, nodded his tiny head and pulled an envelope from his school bag. “I want to give this letter to Santa. My name is Sam Miller.”

Mr. Macmillan gave the boy a friendly smile. “Are you looking for the mailbox in our store where you can send letters to Santa? I’m sorry, it was already full and we had to remove it for a while, but don’t worry, you can still give me this letter. I’ll include it with all the other letters.”

“No!” Sam said firmly. “I want to send this to Santa soon so that EVERYTHING will be fine! It’s a matter of life and death!” Mr. Macmillan became a little worried when the boy appeared stern. “Is everything okay, Sam? You seem a little worried.”

“I want to find Santa soon,” the boy cried. “My mommy needs help. Can you please help me find Santa?” he begged, sobbing and wiping his tears.
