Kind Stranger Fixes Coffee Machine, Saves Mom’s Sanity, Not Kid
Abbi Perets, a 49-year-old Israeli mom of five, faced a double whammy: her 10-year-old was diagnosed with leukemia, and then—plot twist—her beloved Nespresso decided to ghost her. As she mourned her caffeine fix, a service center angel swooped in refusing to let a warranty stop her. The young woman said, 'She didn’t have to get it cleaned for me, and she didn’t have to insist I didn’t pay.' Spoiler alert: this act of kindness is now more beloved than caffeine itself in Abbi’s heart.

When life gives you leukemia and a dead coffee machine, a stranger fixing it for free is basically superhero-level kindness. Meanwhile, my appliances act like divas and don’t even send sympathy texts.
Why did the coffee machine break at the worst time? Because even machines hate Monday morning existential crises powered by cancer news.
This story restored my faith in humanity faster than you can say 'out of warranty'—also faster than my Wi-Fi starts buffering during Zoom therapy sessions.
