Act of kindness
I wanted to share this on neighbourly in the hope this lovely lady will see it. (Letter also sent into the outlook)
Our son Sam was practicing his football on Ashgrove Park as he does most evenings. He came home to show us a card that a lady had given to him with $20 inside congratulating him on his enthusiasm for the sport and telling him to keep it up. Sam was so proud and that meant so much to him. He says he will remember this for the rest of his life how a stranger could be so kind as to make that effort to show him his hard work had not gone unnoticed. That $20 meant he was able to pay off a final installment of a camera he was saving up for and will go to good use. We would sincerely like to thank the lady who did this and let her know we were extremely touched by this gesture and how much it means to Sam. His ambition is to be a professional footballer so if he is lucky enough to achieve this then I am sure his first wage will never be forgotten.
Many thanks

A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
