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.

“I know my story may not be inspirational like others but I just have to share as I am in awe. I took my daughter to the clinic as she had fever and stomach cramps for two days. There was a long queue at the clinic so we had to wait outside. Besides me, there were four other mothers who were also with their children. They had been going on about Christmas, talking about how they will celebrate it,” she said.

“The lady kept on asking if my daughter is still in school. I told her yes, she is going to do her Grade 1 next year.”

Shortly after, 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 to buy a Christmas gift for her daughter.

“I have never seen such in my life, I am still shocked. I kept on looking back to see if she will come back to tell me she was pranking me but she didn’t. To the lady, wherever you are, thank you so much for showing us that kind people still exist in our country and for that #ImStaying,” said Babo.
