A North Texas jeweler refused to buy a treasured gold necklace from a struggling mother - and gave her money from his own pocket instead.

Syrian refugee Noah, who declined to give his surname, was working at the jewelry store when a Texas woman came in and tried to sell her jewelry, CBS reports.

The mom-of-two told him she was broke and was selling the precious piece of jewelry to pay her bills. Noah was so moved by the woman's story he decided to intervene.
