ABC news had the story of 27-year-old Molly Selin, who took off her headphones during a train ride home from Spain and started chatting with 81-year-old Maria Alvarez.
For two months, Molly visited every Monday for dinner. Maria eventually revealed she hadn’t returned to Puerto Rico in over 50 years due to a fear of flying. Molly offered to go with her and shared this whole story on TikTok.
Delta, Hilton, and Discover Puerto Rico all saw it and stepped in to make the trip happen. They took salsa lessons and chocolate tasting tours together. And they found Maria’s aunt and cousin and got to visit!!! “She changed everything for me,” Maria said. “It’s like my other child.”
