In these trying economic times, it's been hard for many American families to make ends meet. But one South Dakotan Walmart shopper showed some unexpected good will to a struggling mother.

Carol Flynn noticed that Katie Kenefke in front of her was having trouble purchasing diapers. Walmart policy allows shoppers to price match for one item, so Kenefke could only purchase one box of diapers instead of her original four. Living on a tight budget, this was a big blow to Kenefke.

But Flynn quickly stepped in, offering to purchase the four boxes on her own. The touching incident was caught on video by Jason Yoshino, another shopper standing nearby.

Just goes to show that small gestures of kindness can still go a long way, even if diapers don't.
