He rescued her
With an embarrassed face, she looked at the teenager, Wyatt Jones, that was attending to her and told him that she is sorry she would have to cancel.
After seeing the situation the woman was in, the teenager used his card for her instead of canceling and gave her the order.
The woman repaid him
The mother went back and offered to give him more money, which the boy rejected. When she later got to know that the young man was saving up for a car, she opened a GoFundMe account with a $5000 goal.
The account surpassed the goal and was able to raise over $32,000 (almost GHC200,000). Wyatt’s father, Kelvin Jones, said:
“He didn’t expect anything he just did something out of the kindness of heart for somebody in need.”
His parents were really happy that their son showed compassion to a stranger without expecting anything in return.
A man who feeds the poor
Meanwhile, it was earlier reported that a very kind man, Brian Birkett, dedicates his time and energy to ensuring that homeless people do not go hungry.
Every week, the man who lives on a pension cooks 50 plates of food and takes them out to people on the street. The meal always contains rice, fries, and chicken.
The meal he prepares is an Irish food popularly called 4-in-1. Apart from paying for the meal from his own pocket, he also volunteers with an NGO, A Lending Hand, which works towards the welfare of people.
