DEAR News Of The Area,

THE week before Christmas, my husband David and I were shopping at Woolworths in Lake Cathie when a young lady gently tapped my hand and said, “Please, let me pay.”

In all my years, I have never experienced such an act of kindness.

I was so overwhelmed that I cried all the way home.

She told us, “You both remind me of my grandparents, you look like nice people. I have been watching.”

Our shopping came to $286, yet she insisted on paying.

Later, I learned that this remarkable young woman is facing her own struggles battling cancer while raising two children with her husband.

To know that someone going through so much still found it in her heart to be so generous leaves me truly speechless.

I hope she sees this letter and knows just how much her kindness meant to us.

We will never forget her selflessness.

With heartfelt gratitude,
NORMA,
Lake Cathie.
