A Heartwarming Act On A Rainy Day

Hannah Farrar took to Mackay Crime Watch Facebook page on 28th November, but instead of reporting a crime, she reported a heartwarming act of kindness.

A young P-plater driving a Toyota single-cab cruiser hopped out of his vehicle in the pouring rain. The man ran over to an elderly gentleman on a mobility scooter, who was waiting to cross the road at Sydney Street Markets.

The man provided him with an umbrella to shield him, as he was being soaked by the rain.

Hannah commented, “Just to see the kindness that young man showed was a great way to start the day.

“It’s great to see our young people going out of their way to help others, it’s the nice side of our community that we often don’t see or don’t hear much about.

“To that young man, well done for thinking of others and going to their aid, as I could see you went out of your way to try to assist. You should be proud.”

Many locals on the forum also commended the young man’s efforts, sharing their own stories of positivity they themselves have witnessed in the Mackay community.

This goes to show that kindness is alive and well in our beloved region, and that simple gestures can make someone’s day.
