Having always seen other people post about their experiences of random acts of kindness on our local community chat sites, Madeline Mullet was thrilled to finally make a post of her own this week.
The last thing Madeline Mullet expected during her Bunnings shop was a heart-warming gesture, which left her with a desire to express her gratitude.
Whilst at the Bunnings register with her young boy, Haines, the Bunnings worker handed Haines a stuffed toy ‘just because she felt like it’.
“I’m really unsure of her name. I was so caught-up in the moment and overwhelmed with her kindness that I really didn’t take note,” said Madeline.
“Not only have you made his day, but you’ve made ours!
“Kindness is absolutely free, it’s the small things that really make a difference, we are so grateful to be a part of such a kind community.”
Madeleine also expressed that kindness does not just affect the two involved.
“It benefits, the person who’s giving it, the receiver and also the observer because I know if I saw someone do something like that it would have just as much an impact on me as it would if I was the one receiving it,” she added.
Madeline expressed her thanks on a Facebook post made to the Whitsundays Chat group, the post has now reached over 350 likes.
She hopes the Bunnings worker sees it and knows how much her and her child are grateful.
