What does a cup of coffee bring to life? It always makes people taste different tastes and different lives. At some point in your life, have you ever missed a cup of coffee that changed your mind? Does someone else's life change because of a cup of coffee?

Alyssa O'Neill reportedly made a simple wish to her parents the day she died of epilepsy: buy her a pumpkin latte. But the vibrant 18-year-old girl finally didn't get a chance to take a sip of her favorite drink. Two days after the funeral, the family in mourning decided to fulfill their daughter's wish and do more.

At a Starbucks in Erie, Pennsylvania, they bought 40 lattes for other strangers and asked baristas to write their daughter's initials "# AJO" on the cups. Moved by their actions, Starbucks employees held another round of activities out of their own pocket, offering customers 50 cups of free coffee.

The "pay-it-forward" campaign did not end there.

The "# AJO" campaign spread rapidly on Facebook and Twitter. Strangers began to randomly offer charity to others in coffee shops, some paying for other people's movie tickets and others paying off the installment bill for other people's Christmas presents.

According to the O'Neill family's Facebook event page, when a customer was about to pay for the $23 care she received at a beauty parlor in Erie, she received a bill with a smiley face that read: "settled by other customers, # AJO, pass on love."

People who pay for coffee, pizza and other treats from strangers have posted photos of their good deeds on Facebook to help promote them.

The O'Neill family plans to set up the Forever Alyssa O'Neill Foundation (AJO Forever Fund) to remember their daughter. The fund will be used to help some families bear the medical costs of epilepsy-related diseases and will also provide scholarship support for outstanding nurses.

"it's a mixed feeling," Alisa's father, Jason, told the media website YourErie. "We must be mourning the loss of our beloved daughter, but the good deeds of these good people have really played a big role in helping us through this period."
