Good Deed Feed A Helping Hand

We’ve all experienced that dreaded sinking feeling when we suddenly realise we’ve forgotten something important, whether it’s a phone, keys, or wallet. For local resident Robyn Rose, it happened after a quick shopping trip when she realised she had left her handbag behind.
Losing a handbag can be an incredibly stressful and upsetting experience. For Robyn, it was no different. A handbag is not just a place to store belongings; it often holds important items like ID, credit cards, and cash. However, what could have been a far worse ordeal was made much easier by an act of kindness from a local stranger.
After Robyn left her handbag on a bench outside Woolworths, someone discovered it, and rather than taking it or ignoring it, chose to hand it in to the store. This thoughtful action meant that Robyn could recover her belongings safely, where the anxiety of the situation was alleviated.
In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, Robyn took to Facebook to publicly thank the person who had returned her handbag. She wrote:
“To the kind person who handed my handbag in to Woolworths after I left it on the seat outside, a million thank yous, I am so incredibly grateful and may you have a wonderful day from a very thankful pensioner.”
It’s easy to overlook the profound impact of simple, kind actions, but for Robyn, this small gesture of honesty and consideration made all the difference. In a time when so many are facing challenges, particularly with the ongoing flooding situation in the region, acts like this serve as a reminder of the power of community.
