Hunt to find random Galway stranger after act of kindness to child outside Aldi
‘It is acts of kindness like these that help us all’
The aunty of a little boy is on the hunt to find a random Galway stranger whose act of kindness helped ease the young lad’s day.
The woman - posting her story to a local Galway Facebook group - said she was in Aldi carpark when her little nephew, who suffers with health problems, was uncontrollably crying after an “upsetting morning” following an incident with a bus into town.
The tears soon faded away, however, when one lovely local lady came over and handed the boy a plush toy she had just bought after seeing him in distress.
Now, the aunty wants to find that stranger to say thanks for putting a smile back on that lad’s face.
She said: “We had tears en route to Aldi on Thursday morning but when we came into Aldi carpark Headford Road, a lady with a child came over and handed the little lad a brand new Caulidog Plush toy to try to stop the tears.
“These are the special buys that only come out at Christmas, but she just wanted to give it to him and wouldn't take anything for it. Black jacket, highlighted brown hair, mid 50s around 08:40ish.
“I didn't get this lady’s name as she hurried to get her child to school, but I am so thankful for this kind gesture towards a child. If anyone knows this lady Please drop me a message. It is acts of kindness like these that help us all.”
