Stranger helps parent with sick child’s wheelchair.

a young girl with sparse hair and a medical patch on her neck, she is holding a teddy bear and a syringe while laying in a bed.

“I was in London with my daughter Lizzie for a hospital appointment. When we returned to Epping tube station, we found ourselves on the wrong side of the platform, where there were stairs to cross.

I started to lift my daughter out of her wheelchair to carry her up the stairs, planning to hold the wheelchair in my other arm when a kind gentleman offered to carry it for me.

I was incredibly grateful for his help. He was an older man who took the time to assist us, and we truly appreciate his kindness, as I would have struggled without him.”
