Having a baby is expensive. There are so many things to get ready before the newborn arrives like; diapers, onesies, car seat, blankets, small towels, wipes, and the list goes on. Expectant parents find a lot of joy shopping for tiny socks and outfits for the baby.
Still, as much as you want to prepare for every possible thing the baby will need, you can only stretch your pay cheque up to a point. Sarah Clark is a server and bartender at the Pita Jungle restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. She is on the last weeks of her pregnancy but that has not stopped her from working.
She is trying to make as much money as possible before her January 8, 2017 due date. Her fiancee is about to have knee surgery which will not allow him to work right away. Hence, every dollar spent will go a long way.

While paying a $61.30 bill, the couple who placed a takeout order gave Clark a $900 tip.

"You always hear about these [things] happening, but you never expect to be the recipient of it," Clark, who is nine months pregnant, told KPHO.
"It's a huge, huge help for me and my family."

The couple had been looking for a way to pay it forward, 12 News reported and decided Clark would be a perfect recipient.
The woman's meal came out to $61.30. On average good tipping is 15 to 20 percent which means Clark may have been expecting anywhere from $9 to $12 on gratuity.
Instead, she was given a $900 tip. "I couldn't believe what I was looking at, at first because it was such a high amount $900 is a lot of money," admits Clark. "And it took a while for it to set in, and once it did, I cried for a little while."

Although $900 would be happily received by most people, it was especially useful for Clark.
The couple wrote on the receipt, This is God's money he gave it to us so we could give it to you. God bless.

She told KTVK, With my being on maternity leave and him being out of work, it's just you know, we're not going to be making any income. So this is really going to help us.
Clark beamed as she told 12 News, I couldn't have asked for anything more right now. It's going to help with bills, with rent, with being able to stay home and spend more time with my baby.

She said when she saw the giant tip, she immediately broke down into tears.
Clark is supposed to have a daughter, named Rosalie, on January 8
