This random act of kindness will make your heart melt!

This poor mum was having such a bad day – make that a bad week – and the kindness of one stranger touched her heart so much that she was compelled to share it on Facebook.

There isn’t much worse than having a sick little baby, especially one that requires hospitalisation, so when this mum and her bub were discharged from hospital, arriving to her car to see a parking ticket wasn’t what she needed to see.

Luckily a wonderful stranger turned her day right around by leaving the following note:

Parking ticket

The mum posted a picture of the ticket to Facebook with the following message:

Over the past few days I have been in hospital with my 9 week old son. We were discharged today and as I walked to my car I noticed that I had a parking ticket. After those days in hospital, a parking ticket was one more thing that I didn’t need.
Well to my surprise, when I opened the envelope there was a note from a lovely lady named Laura (attached).
I hope that Laura sees this and knows how much I appreciate her support.
Thank you so much

Such a thoughtful gesture – but now it’s been put on Facebook, beware and check that the fine has been paid and is not a copycat trick on you.

Everytime you start to lose faith in the world, stories like this remind you that there is still so much good in the world.

What an awesome, generous thing to do. Don’t see much of this anymore. Can’t say it’s something I would do

Wow, you don’t see things like this very often in today’s society. It’s encouraging to know it still does go on somewhere sometimes

This is so wonderful. A random act of kindness, that makes your day, spreads so wide. It has such a ripple effect – you spread this happiness to other people, who in turn spread it to others, and so on. Pay it forward if you can – even buying a coffee for a random stranger has immeasurable benefits for a wider group of people. Spread kindness and gratitude today – we will all be better off for it. xo

it saddens me that hospitals have either no parking or it costs a bundle but what makes me happy is good people willing to help a stanger a little kindness goes a long way!
