Wausau family receives random act of kindness - WAOW - Newsline 9, Wausau News, Weather, Sports

The tragedy in Sandy Hook has inspired someone in our area do some good this holiday season.

Sallie Kitzrow and her husband Jerry say a mystery person put a Christmas card in their mailbox Friday afternoon. 

When they opened it, they found a $20 bill inside, and a message that said, "You are receiving this random act of kindness in honor of the 26 lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary, you are number 20 of my 26 random acts."

Kitzrow says this act of generosity couldn't have come at a better time. 

"Things are just bad right now, you know take it one day at a time, and this was like somebody either knew that we needed some kind of kindness or something, I don't know I was like wow there are really nice people in the world," said Wausau resident, Sallie Kitzrow.

Kitzrow tells us she doesn't know what she plans to do with the money. But says others have it much worse and she may pay it forward.
