When David Bray was discharged from Southmead hospital at 9.30pm on a Sunday night his phone was dead and he had no money. He had left his car in Yate after getting a pounding headache and was unsure about how to get home.
The receptionist offered to call his next of kin who was his mother. The 19 year-old said that his mother had bad health and didn’t have any money either to pay for the taxi.
He asked if the hospital could call him a taxi but they were unable to meet his request. He would have ended up walking almost 10 miles in his shorts and T-shirt, without any idea of how to reach his destination if it wasn't for the strangers who helped him on his journey.
