There was definitely Christmas cheer in the air for one woman this week, when a random act of kindness from a stranger left her "gobsmacked".
Kayleigh Moran was shopping with her daughter Daisy in Manchester when a man in his 70s approached her and gave her an envelope, before telling her only to open it once he had left.
She discovered that the envelope contained £200 and the message 'Happy Christmas'.
"I just couldn’t believe it – I was gobsmacked. I can’t believe anyone could be that nice. It has been a big help to me and I just want to tell him thank you. I had just assumed he was collecting for charity or doing a nice thing and handing out Christmas cards – I was so shocked when I opened the envelope," she explained to Metro UK.
"He was an elderly man, about 70. I’ve never met him before and I didn’t see him hand anything to anyone else. It is such a lovely thing to do – you see people walking past homeless people and not giving as little as 50p but this man chose to give me and my family £200."
Kayleigh says the money will allow her to visit her mother in Wales this Christmas, as well as buying a memorial for her grandmother who passed away.
"I have never missed a Christmas with my mum and it would have been horrible but this means I can go and see her now. I don’t think the man would want to be recognised but I wish I could tell him thank you. It has made me so happy – especially that I have been able to buy some ornaments for my Gran and give her a proper grave site."
