A little girl observed a basketball hoop in her neighbor’s driveway and wanted to use it. She wrote a polite message requesting permission. The neighbor’s friendly response made us feel warm inside.

Emma said in her letter that she had attempted to inquire face-to-face but was unsuccessful each time. She took a second approach and left a simple “check yes or no” card.

Little Girl’s Note to Neighbor Received a Short and Sweet Response.

“Dear neighbor,” she wrote on the plain white card. “My name is Emma, and I live across the street at 1659. Would it be okay to shoot some baskets on your basketball hoop after school?

The neighbor kindly permitted Emma to use the hoop and advised her to “Have Fun.”

This sweet interaction demonstrates how modest deeds can have a significant impact! Please share this story to remind folks that compassion is real!
