Stranger’s act of kindness warms mother’s heart
A Brisbane mum of a newborn bub has shared a beautiful moment to Facebook, thanking a kind stranger who left a thoughtful note and baked treats at her door.
The mother said she had placed an item on Facebook Marketplace for free and had been overwhelmed by a number of eager people looking to take the listing off her hands.
She went on to say the first message was from a “kind” woman named Vijayata who wished her a good morning.
“We proceeded to make pick-up arrangements and I left the item outside for collection as my daughter was soon due for a breastfeed,” she said.
“As I so often do, I left my phone in the kitchen while filling up my water bottle before the feed. I missed the 'I'm on the way message ' [and] I missed the 'I have arrived message’.”
After finishing feeding her newborn daughter, the woman said she ran to check her phone and found a message from Vijayata who had thanked the mum and let her know she’d left something outside her door.
“I was immediately taken aback. Vijayata, this beautiful, kind and generous stranger had left me this package,” she said, alongside an image of a homemade mango coconut cake with a loving note.
Vijayata listed the cake’s ingredients in case of allergies and packaged it with a packet of tea.
“Have a cuppa on me,” she wrote.
“Look after yourself for you are a superwoman.
“Giving birth is no easy feat and raising a human, well, is no less than a super power. Take care.”
The new mum said she was “shocked” by the act of “true kindness”.
“When my daughter is old enough to understand, I can tell her the story of a generous lady named Vijayata. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” the mum wrote.
