Coles Camaraderie

An incident at Coles Parkside has banded customers and staff together to help a fellow customer in need.

Mel Whitestyles was at the checkout when her daughter had a febrile convulsion which is caused by a sudden change in a child's body temperature.

Thankfully, behind Mel was a nurse who didn’t skip a beat in helping her stay calm and cool down her child.

The nurse happened to be on shift later that night and checked in with Mel and her daughter in the hospital.

Another lovely lady, who Mel briefly had a chat to in one of the aisles not long before, paid for Mel’s daughter’s nappies as she had said to the Coles staff member to forget the rest of her items as she had run out.

“To you two beautiful angels, I just want to say thank you!” Mel wrote on Facebook.

“If I could pay you back or buy you a coffee one day soon when my daughter is better to show you my appreciation.”

“Not to mention the amazing team at Parkside who were more than comforting and helpful, for calling the ambulance and making sure I was ok.”

Mel and her daughter returned home after six hours at the hospital.

“Thank you to everyone who helped me out in this terrifying experience.”
