A McDonald's employee went viral over the weekend—and collectively restored our hope in humanity—after paying for a customer's meal last Friday. Andrea Duncan, who took to Facebook to share the encounter, ordered at the Reading, OH, drive-thru before realizing she had left her wallet behind at work. When Duncan pulled up to the window and tried to cancel the meal, a Mickey D's team member offered to pick up her tab.

According to Duncan's Facebook post, his response was simple: "It's ok ma'am I got you." Crediting the "handsome young man," Jeremiah McDonald-Hemphill, Duncan went on to rave over the act of kindness. "We hear so much about what's wrong with the world I had to share a little of what is right," she wrote on social media. "I am just now posting this because I wanted his permission and I wanted to repay him for his kindness. He didn't know how tired I was or that I hadn't eaten or even if he would be repaid but he didn't even bat an eye."

Users flooded the comment section with their own praise, calling out McDonald-Hemphill's sweet gesture. After several noted how proud his mom must be, she responded with her own thanks. "Thank each and everyone of you for the kind words in regards to my son," Donna McDonald wrote back. The post has since garnered 14,000 likes, 4,00 shares, and nearly 2,000 comments.



Commending him as a "amazing person," Duncan told Yahoo! Lifestyle that McDonald-Hemphill's mother also reached out personally to thank her for the recognition. "As a mom of two young men, I wanted her to know what he did for me and that she is doing something right. As moms we all need to hear that," she added.
