One woman named Karen shared the story online about how she attempted to “pay it forward” to ambulance drivers she had seen on a case. She said she ran to the store to get some wine and chocolates, as a gift to thank them for all of their hard work during these very stressful times.
Then, the next day, she saw an ambulance driver and ran to get the package.
“Today an ambulance arrived and I grabbed the box and wandered around till I found them. It obviously wasn’t an urgent situation and I caught one of the ambulance drivers as he was going back to the rig for something,” Karen wrote.
The ambulance driver shared how much it meant to him.
“He looked at me and said:
‘Let me tell you a story. Yesterday I wanted to quit this job then a guy bought me lunch and I thought maybe this gig isn’t so bad and now this. It means more than you know,'” the woman shared online.
Karen said everyone should “listen to their gut.”

Karen said, ” don’t be afraid to do kind things.”
“…Don’t be afraid to do small things because those pressies I bought a couple of weeks ago were clearly meant for him today. So many frontline workers are so overwhelmed at the moment and the smallest gesture can mean the world,” she concluded.
