Here is a little story that was relayed to me that has made my day. Read until the end and you will understand why I love the @Wollongong_City community... A thread. 1/8 @UOW @ihmri
A woman who I have known for 20 years wanted to donate to my research. For perspective, she is 87, a local storyteller, parent of children with Fragile X and on the pension...
She wanted to donate $100. She looked at her budget and could only find $50. She decided to save up for the other $50...
For weeks and weeks, she tried to find a spare $50 but she just could not afford it...
One day she went to get her groceries from @woolworths and because she is not up with technology she was struggling with the self check out...
A man behind her in the queue offered to help and she managed to process her shopping. While she was rummaging for cash the man offered to pay for her groceries...
She said thank you but I can pay. He said, I know that you will do something special with that $50 so I want to pay for your groceries...
She said I know exactly what I will do with the money and she donated the $100 to my #MND research. The @Wollongong_City community are amazing! Keep paying it forward people.
