An elderly couple never imagined spending most of their 46th wedding anniversary stranded on the side of the road. Two kind people stopped to help them, and they'll never forget the moment.

Unfortunately, we live in a time where kindness isn't given as freely as it used to. Stories like this remind us of a selfless act's impact.

At the ages of 83 and 77, changing a burst tyre was impossible. Despite peak hour traffic with many cars passing, none were willing to help until one car stopped, and two angels offered their assistance.

Read the full story:

“On Wednesday hubby and I celebrated 46yrs "tying the knot" and returning home @5pm from this magnificent Blouberg view on the R300. I passed a bus and said to hubby wow this bus is burning rubber bad then a combi signalled me with lights to move over! He signalled me to my tyres and I realised that it was my tyres burning rubber! It scared me to even think of changing the wheel in such heavy scary peak hour fast pace traffic! Hubby is 83 and not foot stable so I'm a fitter 77 and decided I had to tackle the job! I started with the jack. It reminded me of my young days when I would drive on empty tanks, get stuck in peak hour traffic and men would run from all directions to push my car off the road. This time I prayed the Lord send me an angel to help us! He sent us two angels and the wife of the one angel shared that she never takes that route normally (God knew). A big #shoutout and grateful thanks to the two men who stopped for us on R300 to change #oldfolks badly damaged tyre..... #ImStaying”

Briefly News spoke to the woman who shared her gratitude. We asked her what these types of kindness do for people, and how today's times are different from when she was younger. This is what she said:

"Times have changed somewhat these days because in the past one wouldn't go into a fear mode of being robbed or attacked when stranded in a strange place.

"When I was young and had a car breakdown I hardly ever thought about my safety or the threat of it. Unfortunately it's not the same today so we always hope and pray that good people show up in desperate situations."
