Strangers Become Saviours

An anonymous member of the local community took to a neighbourhood crime page on Facebook, not to report an incident, but to express her heartfelt gratitude.
The focus of her message was directed towards a family wearing orange hi-vis attire and the manager of the Ooralea McDonald's, both of whom came to her aid when she unexpectedly fell ill around 8:30pm the previous Sunday night.
In her post, the anonymous individual conveyed profound thanks, expressing regret for the inconvenience caused by her sudden illness. She emphasised that her condition was not contagious but rather a reaction to medication following her release from the Mackay Base Hospital.
Her gratitude extended beyond words, with an eagerness to know the names of those who helped her, so she could personally extend her appreciation.
Despite the option to turn away, they chose compassion, a gesture she valued immensely.
Her post radiated with a sense of humility and genuine appreciation, which then lead to an outpouring of positive reactions from readers on the platform.
The anonymous poster said “I can't thank you enough, I had just been released from the Base and unfortunately wasn't as well as they and I had assumed.
“I feel so terrible that the situation even occurred, but I would love to know your names to gift you for your help,” she expressed.

“You didn't have to help me and could have turned away, but you didn't and I appreciate it more than you will ever know.

“Thank you so much for the concerns, I really hope this gets to the people who helped me.”
