A Canadian family’s vacation was saved by a stranger who helped them replace their child’s critical medication. Kirsten Marten and her family were en route to Mexico for vacation recently when she realized they’d left their youngest son’s critical medication back home in Victoria, British Columbia. So Kirsten posted a “Hail Mary” on Facebook looking to see if anyone was also traveling to Mexico and if they’d be willing to get the prescription and bring it with them.
Marina Miller — who also lives in Victoria, but doesn’t know Kirsten — saw the message and responded. Within minutes, Marina secured the prescription, paid for it, and arranged for it to be delivered to their hotel in Mexico before the family’s arrival.
Marten was bowled over by the kind gesture and posted the story on Facebook, including a thank-you to Marina. “Her act of kindness left this exhausted and overwhelmed mom welling up and filled with love and set our trip off on the right foot,” the message reads. “We are eternally grateful to her and I have to say - I'm fangirling a bit over her now and can't wait to meet her in person." Kirsten says she plans to pay forward the act of kindness to another mom.
