Pam Connell, Newstead
I would like to thank the person who ‘rescued’ me in the Amcal Chemist in Castlemaine on Monday. I had come out without my wallet and had unwittingly gone ahead with a prescription and a few other items and only realised when it came to paying at the checkout.
I berated myself audibly then asked for my things to be kept aside until I could return to Castlemaine in a few days time. This was being done when a young woman carrying a toddler on her hip said to put my items through with hers. I protested unsuccessfully. Neither would she give me her bank details so I could repay her and insisted that it was nothing.
It was not ‘nothing’! It was an act of extreme generosity for which I am extremely grateful. There are some kind and generous people out there and if I can’t repay her directly then I’ll make sure I do someone else a good deed as soon as the occasion arises.
