Humanity At The Hospital

Going to hospital can be daunting no matter your age, but one young girl’s experience was brightened by the kindness of a nearby stranger.

Kellie Ungerer posted in the Mackay Noticeboard Facebook group sharing the good deed of a young man and his partner after her two-year-old was admitted to the Mackay Base Hospital last weekend.

“A young man was across the hall, who had been admitted too in the afternoon,” she wrote.

“I didn’t catch his name but not only did he offer for his partner to buy us something to eat for my daughter as she was scoffing down sandwiches after not really eating the last few days, but he came back with this lovely little pink plush teddy and she just truly adores it.”

“She has even put a mask on it, like her daddy had on when he came up.”

Kellie didn’t catch the names of the couple, but said the gesture will never go unnoticed.

“I hope you make a speedy recovery,” she wrote.

“Thank you again for being so kind and thoughtful.”

The post garnered over 850 likes, with the couple seeing it and identifying themselves as Sarah Williams and Damen Gardner.

“We’ve got twins, and your daughter reminded him of our little girl,” Sarah commented.

“He’s (Damen) very much an empath, and just wanted to do something for her to help her feel a bit better.

“We’re so glad Ellie loves her teddy, and we hope she’s feeling better soon.”
