A grateful local took to Facebook this week to thank kind strangers who stepped in to provide support to her son in a stressful situation.
The young man was parked up with his friend when another group of youths hit his car, and unfortunately drove away.
Exercising extraordinary grace, the mother expressed that she was not writing to shame the perpetrators, as fear may have been the reason for their quick escape.
Instead, she highlighted the kindness shown by a family who approached her son and his friends to check they were ok.
“You didn’t know them personally, yet you chose to stop, check on them, comfort them, and even take the licence plate details of what happened outside,” the mum shared.
“To the parents of that family — you raised beautiful souls. Your kindness reflects the values you taught at home, and it shows.
“Thank you for reminding us that there are still genuine people in this world who care for others without expecting anything in return.
“May life return your kindness tenfold. May you and your family always be surrounded with love, protection, and blessings. From one grateful parent to another, thank you immensely for being our son’s guardian angels that evening. Please stay safe always.”
The words remind us that when a young person is rattled by the realities of the world, we’re lucky to have parents and neighbours nearby that will step in and help – whether it’s their own kid, or a total stranger.
