When Cyn Symoné found herself stuck at the airport, having missed her flight to Los Angeles, she initially felt upset and frustrated. Little did she know, however, that this unexpected delay would lead her to a profound encounter that would touch the hearts of many.
As she arrived at LAX and headed to the baggage claim, Cyn Symoné heard the sound of a woman crying in one of the bathroom stalls. Despite feeling hesitant and unsure of how to approach the situation, she couldn’t ignore the distress she heard.
Returning to the bathroom multiple times while waiting for her bags, Cyn Symoné overheard the woman lamenting that the bus wouldn’t arrive until the next day. It was then that she realized the gravity of the situation. Moved by compassion, she approached the woman and offered to help.
Unable to communicate directly due to the language barrier, Cyn Symoné asked if the woman had Zelle or CashApp to arrange payment for a hotel room. Witnessing the woman’s relief and seeing her children asleep in the stall, Cyn Symoné knew she had to act.
Together, they went to a nearby Marriott, where Cyn Symoné secured a room for the woman and her family. The gratitude expressed by the young mother touched Cyn deeply, reinforcing her belief in the power of compassion and human connection.

In sharing her encounter, Cyn Symoné reminded us all of the profound impact a simple act of kindness can have and encouraged others to be more attuned to the needs of those around them.
