The holiday period is the season of giving. They are usually gifts for loved ones and friends or simply acts of kindness to strangers. Many of these go unnoticed, but on Christmas Eve in Australia, one particular act of kindness caught the attention of a Reddit user who thought he would inspire others with what he saw at a local gas station.
Matt Hardesty shared a photo of an elderly woman thanking a tradesman in his work truck for helping her purchase groceries at a Star Mart gas station on Dec. 24, according to the Daily Mail. Hardesty, who posted the photo under his Reddit user sawathingonce, was standing in line to pay for fuel when the young man offered to pay for the elderly woman’s milk, bread, and biscuits.
