Mother Shocked By Note Found At Toy Store (Photo)

When a 2-year-old boy broke his leg, his mother wanted to get him a present that would cheer him up.

As she looked for the perfect gift at the toy store, she was shocked by the note she found taped onto a display case.

Bonita Ortega’s son Nixon broke his leg and was stuck wearing a cast for some time. To cheer him up, she decided to head to Toys”R”Us to find him a fun present, according to MommyPage. She went to the “Cars” section, knowing how much he loves the movie.

While searching for a gift, the mother spotted what she believed to be a piece of paper taped to a display case. She took a closer look and realized it was an envelope.

When the mother opened the envelope, she was shocked by what she found. 

Ortega wrote a post about the incident, which was shared on the Love What Matters Facebook page on March 3:

My two year old broke his leg earlier this week and I decided to go to ToysRUs today on lunch to get him a “Get Well” present to surprise him with when I got home. I walk up to the Cars section, anyone that knows Nixon, knows he loves Cars.

Taped to the display is an envelope that read, ‘Please use this cash to buy something in honor of our son Henry who would be 4 on March 2, 2017.’ I looked around in disbelief filled with so many emotions, I immediately started to cry, it was bittersweet tears. I was hurting for Henry’s family, but so thankful that my Nixon could honor this sweet boy.

I wish I could personally thank Henry’s parents and just tell them how thankful we are for their sweet gesture. Nixon was able to get this awesome Cars garage that he hasn’t stopped playing with since opening it. Please share in hopes this will make it to them. Happy Birthday, Henry!

Ortega was touched by the kindness of Henry’s parents and wanted to share her story in hopes that they will read it and know their son’s memory is being honored.

Facebook users shared their thoughts and stories in the comments section of the post.

“That is such a beautiful idea, that I am going to steal it!” one reader commented. “My sweet grandson, Aiden, died almost 2 years ago. He loved the Cars and the Planes movies and toys! He would be 8 years old in June. I think some surprise envelopes are in order! Thank you for sharing this!”

“I stopped breathing when I read this,” another wrote. “We almost lost our daughter on her due date, March 2nd. She is also 4 years old – my daughter could easily be Henry. God bless you and Henry’s family!”
