Local Des Wilkins took to Facebook last week to profess her deep thanks to a young man who assisted her when a scheduled delivery from a local supermarket fell through and she was left stranded with too many groceries to carry home by herself.
“I was standing at the checkout wondering what I would do and how I would get my groceries home without a car,” she said in her post.
“Next thing I know, a young man approached me and said he would deliver my groceries for me”.
After the man finished work – he delivered the groceries swiftly without asking for anything in return.
“A massive thank you for your help – it is not often one sees this sort of generous assistance nowadays and your attitude and above all – your help, were sincerely appreciated.”
The community reacted with a wave of appreciation, noting the true generosity of the act. It is heart-warming to see how people step up to help others when they are in need.
