A waitress at a TopGolf location in Birmingham, Alabama received a $2,800 tip from a stranger, which she is using to pay off a loan taken to save the life of her pet dog.

From the Birmingham Fox affiliate:

"Nikki Ramos loves her dog.

"I can't say enough about her. She's amazing. She's been a blessing to our family," Ramos said.

But recently her blue pitbull had to have surgery and Nikki had one option to save her. She had to take out a loan from TitleMax to pay for everything. She also had to get a job at TopGolf to pay off her car title loan.

This week, while working there, she struck up a conversation with a complete stranger who turned out to be a blessing. After hearing what she's been through, the man gave her a $2,800 tip to pay off the loan.

"I cried. I could not talk. I fell to my knees. I couldn't say anything but thank you," Ramos said.

In addition to the $2,800, the man added $150. Nikki says the lord works in mysterious ways because she's been down on her luck lately. Nikki's only had the TopGolf job for a week. She never would have imagined her kindness to customers would lead to this.

"There are still good people in this world and I had a hard time believing that lately. I 100% believe it now. there are still good people in this world," Ramos said."

It's nice to know there are people in this world who will exercise generosity in this way, for a complete stranger.

The Christmas season is a time for giving and generosity, and this Good Samaritan is an example to us of how to treat others.
