But then a stranger showed them a kindness that gave them comfort and hope T racy Peck was flying home to Minneapolis after playing amateur tennis in Paris and attending the 1999 French Open, when the teenage girl in the seat beside her tapped her and said, “My sister says your dangly earrings are very pretty.” Vanja Zugay, then 17, explained that her sister, Ayda, then 12, didn’t speak English. She went on to share that they were traveling alone—refugees fleeing war-torn Yugoslavia. Their parents had emptied their savings to send their daughters to live with their brother, Bruno, who was an exchange student in Iowa. Tracy’s heart went out to the sisters. They must be so frightened. And their poor parents, she thought. Having three daughters of her own, Tracy couldn’t imagine sending her children across the world, not knowing if “Tracy’s gift fed our she’d ever see them again. bellies—and her There must be something I can do to help, Tracy thought, kindness filled our and, opening her purse, she took a $100 bill—all the cash hearts,” says Ayda (left) with Vanja (right) she had left—from her wallet.

She signed the note, a friend from the plane, Tracy, and drew a tiny heart. When they landed in Minneapolis, Tracy handed the envelope to Vanja before fetching her tennis racket from the overhead and deplaning. The girls’ eyes went wide when Vanja translated the note for Ayda and they saw Tracy’s gifts. They had no money of their own, and Bruno was barely making ends meet working three jobs and sharing a small apartment with roommates. “She’s an angel from God,” Ayda said, and while Vanja Tracy jotted a “welcome to stowed the cash in her pocket, Ayda clutched Tracy’s America” note and tucked $100 y inside the envelope for the girls envelope—her first American treasure. ett G 10 9/12/22 Woman’s World
