'It means a lot': Woman thanks Kildare train commuters for their generosity
The woman’s message made the rounds on social media
Don’t you just love to see and hear about everyday acts of kindness?
A woman has posted a message online thanking County Kildare train commuters for their generous actions towards her.
Posting her kind words to a local community group on Facebook, the woman said: “Thank you Newbridge Train commuters —I commute up and down to Dublin for work every day by train , and recently sprained my knee which has me on crutches.
“I just want to say thank you to the amount of people in the morning and the evening (7.29 in the morning,18.05 in the evening) that have offered their help , especially coming home if I needed a lift any where.”
She concluded by adding: “Thank you , you may think it’s [only] a small gesture, but it means a lot.”
In response to her post, one commenter, who revealed he has Parkinson’s Disease, said: “People are so helpful they go out of their way to try and assist you.”
They added: “If i go into Newbridge or any town, people go out of their way to help, it means I can go into town and don't need anyone to come with me, so thanks to everyone who has helped me in the past; you don't realise the difference your help has made to me, and that's coming from adults and young people.”
Another commenter said: “Lovely to hear of people’s kindness, hope your [sic] well on road to recovery.”
They also jokingly said that they hoped that the original poster was ‘milking’ their recovery.
Lastly, a separate commenter summed it up well when they said: “That’s what kindness is all about helping and caring.”
