A feel-good story captured on security cameras.

An act of kindness from a Texas jewelry store employee was captured on the shop’s surveillance cameras when he decided to help a distraught customer, as CBS Dallas-Fort Worth writes. The article says that a woman walked into the store wanting to sell a gold necklace that her mother had given her, saying she needed the money to pay bills. Noticing tears in her eyes, the employee – whose name is Noah, but didn’t want his last name used in the news story – instead reached into his own pockets, gave her the money she needed and let her keep the necklace.

“I let her tell me how much she wanted to sell it and I gave her exactly what money she wanted,” Noah told the news outlet. “I didn’t think about it, I just grabbed the money. I grabbed the money and gave it to her.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
