A couple of "angels" blessed a Whanganui woman with $200 out of the blue this week.
Linda was at Countdown with her four grandchildren on Thursday evening when two strangers approached her and gave her a roll of cash, saying they wanted her to have a happy Mother's Day.
"Iwas gobsmacked. I wish I could have thought faster. Until I got in the car I actually didn't know how much she had handed me."
Linda said she "burst into tears of happy disbelief" when she unrolled the cash to discover it was $200. The gift came at a time when Linda's budget was strained.
"I have been very ill for the past week and ... my doctor has said I cannot return to work for another week.
"This put a huge strain on my finances, I had no idea how I was going to work it out."
Linda's budget was already tight as she had her grandchildren staying with her. She was also trying to fit her family's groceries into a beer fridge because her regular fridge had broken down and needed fixing.
