I JUST wanted to say a huge thank you to the lady who paid for my fuel at Haydock Tesco petrol station on Friday evening.

 
I was filling my car up, as I am a district nurse and have volunteered to do extra shifts due to staff shortages. 


I had just finished filling my tank when a lady who had been paying for her petrol in the garage shouted over to me and asked if I was a healthcare worker. 


When I replied that yes I was, she came a little closer and stretched her arm out to pass me some money. 


I refused politely and told her I didn’t want money as I was just doing my job, but this lovely lady wouldn’t take no for an answer and asked me to take £20 to pay for my petrol. 


This was a lovely act of kindness and made me feel so appreciated and proud of our community. 


I drove home in tears as her gesture had touched me so much.
 I hope she reads this so she knows how much this meant to me.
