Tired Mom Leaving Hospital Finds Parking Ticket And Note From Stranger
January 12, 2023

On the way out of the hospital, a tired mom found a parking ticket on her windshield. It was the last thing she needed at the time. But there was something else waiting for her as well. A special angel brought her just what she needed that day!
The poor mom from Canberra, Australia had just spent several days in the hospital with her 9-week-old baby boy. She was finally headed home when she spotted the parking ticket. The young woman already had enough on her plate, and the ticket was just one more worry she didn't need.

But God already knew that. And that's why a special angel noticed the parking ticket long before the tired mom!
Kindness Revealed
The woman shared on the Canberra Mums Facebook page what she found when she picked up the ticket. Inside the envelope was a pink post-it, with a handwritten note from a woman named Laura.
Laura wrote:
"Hi, there. I saw your car had a parking ticket on it. I’m sure whatever you are going through at hospital is tough enough so I have paid for you. Hope things get better!"
The simple act of kindness was exactly what was needed! The mom shared the story in the hopes her heartfelt gratitude would make it back to Laura.
"I hope that Laura sees this and knows how much I appreciate her support," she wrote.
And while we don't know whether Laura ever saw the post or not, we do know that God has surely blessed Laura for her kind deed!
