A mum was left in tears after learning on social media that her young son had performed a sweet act of kindness to help an elderly shopper in need. Proud mum Carly Inglis was praised on Facebook for raising "amazing" son Olly, 12, well after he gave a pensioner cash to buy her shopping when he saw she was struggling to afford it.
Olly had paid a visit to his local Spar shop in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, north east Wales, to try and find a bottle of the viral Prime hydration drink, but while he was there, he noticed an older lady struggling to pay for a loaf of bread. While Olly thought nothing of offering her £2 from the £5 he had been given by his nan, the kind-hearted gesture caught the attention of the community.
A woman who was also in the store at the time and witnessed what happened, shared a post on Facebook, praising the young boy for what he did. Mum Carly, 31, saw the post, which described how a boy arrived at the shop on a scooter with a friend who was riding a bike, before she saw a "little boy hand her the money to pay for it”.
