A mom and daughter were on the receiving end of the same sort of giving at a toy store across the pond.    Caitlin Foster and daughter Lacey were visiting a toy store using $10 dollars that Lacey’s grandma had given her to buy a toy.  Employees asked asked if they could give a gift card to Lacey, explaining that earlier that day a woman had bought it and asked for it to be given to a preschool child.   When they opened the card, they were overwhelmed with emotion.
