Lonely aged girl who has no household or associates writes tear-jerking notice to form restaurant employees

An elderly woman living in poverty with no friends or family wrote a tear-jerking note to restaurant staff who gave her a free burger on Christmas Day. 

The unidentified woman wrote the touching missive to the staff at Black Sheep Burgers & Shakes in Springfield, Missouri, after its owner offered a free burger to anyone in need on December 25. 

‘A very heartfelt thank you for the kindness of you all! It would have been a very boring Christmas for me as I have no family left,’ she wrote in perfect cursive. 

‘I never thought of this years ago, but being the youngest in my family, I have seen everyone leave this Earth before me.’

She explained that she has been living off of her social security payments, forcing her to ‘downsize’ to renting a room and sharing a house.

‘I feel like I’m in college again!’ she wrote. 

‘A dear friend heard about the offer of the free meal and invited me out for “Christmas lunch.” Great idea since I was down to $1!

‘The meal was wonderful as were the staff. Thank you again for making it a day to remember! Blessings.’

Restaurant owner Mike Jalili was deeply moved by the woman’s letter and now wants to invite her to enjoy a belated holiday celebration with him and his family.
