“Thank you for showing us that kind people still exist”: Good Samaritan blesses Mzansi mother with R100

In other news about good Samaritan's, Briefly News earlier reported that a visit to the clinic, after her child had fallen ill turned into a Christmas miracle for a Mzansi mother, Babo Babo.

The grateful mother shared a heartfelt message on the #ImStaying Facebook group recently about how a stranger at the clinic’s waiting line blessed her unexpectedly. Babo detailed how one of the mothers asked her why she was so quiet and not contributing to their conversation about Christmas.

The ladies were interrupted by the security who called them to go inside the clinic and to Babo’s surprise, the lady she had been speaking to reached into her bag to give her a R100 note.
